  1. I like the starting lineup although I'm not very familiar with Lletget. I think people kind of take for granted how far the player pool has come for the national team. We're missing four first choice players (Jones, Fabian, Wood, and Yedlin) but we shouldn't miss a beat.
  2. That's wild. Airfare to St Maarten is usually pretty affordable. You should do it!
  3. Nice list, but it's equivalent to "Best Type of Pizza". I would remove Bermuda because I don't consider them as in the Caribbean. My favorite Caribbean beach town is Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, but they're a coastal town so many don't consider it "in the Caribbean".
  4. LOL, that thread was so absurd that I quit posting here for about a month. TCSUF gonna TCSUF.
  5. If SDSU structures their deal like CSU did (40 years, interest rates in the low 3's), they'd be looking at annual payments of about $6.5 millioin to $7 million a year. I know a lot of people here on MWCBoard are debt-averse, but right now is a great time to take on debt and build a large project.
  6. Correct, that was never in question I pulled it from a SDSUvUNH photo gallery.
  7. Sweet 16, Nikola Jokic's continued destruction of the NBA, and a World Cup qualifier. I love random excellent sports nights.
  8. The endzones at Qualcomm had diagonal stripes for your first two games (UNH and Cal). The endzones had the "San Diego" stencil for the remainder of the season. Your photos are from either UNH or Cal. I have no bias or agenda, I'm just a bored guy at work. You can confirm it here: https://www.youtube.com/user/goaztecscom/videos So we have SDSU fans using misinformation to feel victimized, claim media bias, and to accuse other of having an agenda against them.. it's like a tiny snapshot of life in today's United States. God bless America.
  9. Upon further review, your photos can't be from the Hawaii game, look at the endzones. Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuun... We've reached the point that Aztecs are so full of shit that they can't get their stories straight. (This is common among habitual liars.) Like SGF said, it's either UNH or Cal, so I'm sticking with my previous statement:
  10. Never underestimate a man's desire to not do work.
  11. So let's put ourselves in the mind of the photographer. He takes a photo straight on. He then takes a quarter turn to his left and takes another photo. But why isn't there a third picture of the stands to his right? Is his memory card full? Is he not an ambi-turner? Or is he trying to hide the fact that those stands are.... +++++ING EMPTY (dun dun duuuuun) Case closed, my Bullshit Detector remains undefeated.
  12. Just to confirm, this is the New Hampshire game, right?
  13. Only someone with an agenda would point to a low-angle photograph with the majority of the tarped off sections cropped out as evidence of crowd size. Google the Jacobs Method.
  14. Setting the groundwork for a reverse jinx.
  15. LOL... sigh... someone kill me. I'm not sure what Eustachy's base is right now (it goes up every year) but it will end up at $1.25 in 2019. Before bonuses.
  16. In regards to SDSU's new stadium? Sure. It's a key piece of the puzzle.
  17. Nice ad hominem, really adds to the conversation. CSU and SDSU are quite similar for football attendance. Both have an annual event that pulls a great crowd, have 1 or 2 decent games on top of that, and garbage attendance the remainder of the year. I'm not surprised that SDSU and CSU will end up with stadiums of similar sizes. I doubt SDSU gives two shits about CSU football attendance though, and I don't know why you do.
  18. I guess you see what you want to see. The seating is more densely populated because of the tarped off areas, but there are still are a ton of empty seats. There isn't a full section in the entire stadium. I wouldn't be able to guess how many fans are there unless I knew the number of seats lost to The Tarps. Plus, I'd need to know how many people participated in the halftime show. Also, who sang the national anthem. Was it a solo artist or a group? I heard that in 2017 SDSU is only booking barbershop quartets to sing the anthem in an effort to boost attendance.
  19. That's three things of note, IMO.
  20. That's awesome. I had no idea the CBI final was best of 3. Congrats Pokes, I see this as a launching pad for Justin James' breakout year in 2017.
  21. LOL, why should stuff like that count towards your attendance? Should Frisbee dogs count? They're a different species, but they have butts. From SDSU's press release in 2009 when they signed the new lease: A 2013 report from Stefani Loh (let me guess, she's biased too): Yesterday's article: I think we can stop with the journalists with agendas, the 5,000 ninja students, the incompetent stadium staff who can't count, the legions of fans sitting behind television cameras, the Qualcomm optical illusions, etc, etc. Aztec fans lying about their attendance was one of my favorite MWCBoard memes over the years, but the serious business of a new stadium put an end to it. Wicker coming to the negotiation table only demanding 35k tells you everything you need to know about the reality of SDSU football attendance. (Mira Mesa High School's marching band be damned.)
  22. Yes and no? If SDSU can't find a reasonable partner to work with (or if FSI doesn't capitulate a bit), then it's nice that the attendance data shows that SDSU can go on their own with a $150 million, 30-35k stadium and not cannibalize ticket revenue. (Might have to put Sky Show at Petco though) It's not ideal, but it's not a deathblow to SDSU football. ~30k stadium (expandable)+SDSU West=win, IMO. Best case is a partner that will go to 40k off the bat, but that doesn't seem to be an option right now.
  23. So we're supposed to believe that 5,000 to 6,000 people are being scanned/having stubs pulled, but aren't being counted because they don't walk through a physical turnstile? That would mean 20% of your attendance is unaccounted for. That's pretty convenient for SDSU homers.
