Houston will be looking for a new coach if things don't change. Too many rich donors paying too much money to put up with that.

We have to remember that it's Dilfer's first year from a flat footed start. Other than kids he had coached or coached against, he had no idea what his recruiting landscape looked like. He's got to have time to get some bodies in here.

One other selling point. If there are some hungry JUCO front seven players looking for a home, show them some game tape and tell them that there is defensive playing time to be had for the right players.

and the concessions are too damn high.

Beer is too expensive.

I personally don’t understand why are fans are ragging on other people for that legitimate complaint. The stadium is literally pricing families out of going to the games. I thought we cared about our attendance and wanted people to show up. We can’t even support one another without snarky ass comments on a message board.

Exactly. They want to increase attendance. People are already not attending games across the country because it's easier and more comfortable to watch games at home. Now that concessions are ridiculous - especially for families - that just adds to another reason why fans are not going to games that aren't blue blood programs.

This Saturday is Family Day - let's see if more families come and complain about prices not being family friendly on family day.

I live in Atlanta and I have 4 kids. I don’t have the extra income to one but the tickets make the trip over there on top spending that on concessions
