If they don't renew his contract, I renew my tickets. The worse case scenario is if they put off a decision until late summer or even December. Then what do I do? I would have to assume the worse. Are there other ticket holders on this board? What are your plans for this season? "

Hell with SFT, I'm renewing my tickets because I enjoy taking the family to ball games and SFT won't ruin our family enjoyment!!!!! Besides, SFT doesn't like Bower and I'm going to support Bower and the football team!

Last year was my year to face the same decision you're up against, FF. After not missing a home game since 1979, I dropped my season ticket order. Started going when I was single, then with my girl who became my wife, and finally with my kids. The kids are grown and they go with their peers now, so it was not as tough as it could have been. I do not for a second fault anyone who chooses otherwise, and I admire the Green Hornet's attitude.

I did not renew because (1) I figured that good attendance numbers would be used as a argument by SFT apologists to "prove" how the university was prospering under his thumb, (2) I did not like the fact that Bower attended the pro-SFT rally in response to the anti-SFT rally during the Glamser/Stringer affair, and (3) I just flat did not want to see the short fart strut around preening at half time every time he gave someone the flavor of the year award.
