As if you were at the bottom of some insurmountable waiting list or something, gimme a break
if you didnt have season tickets before now it was due to yourself not sacking up and getting them, and nothing else
Sure...whatever you say. I suppose personal income, circumstances and living conditions never had a damn thing to do with it? GIMME A BREAK!
Again... THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Totally understand that.
Financial reasons make sense...poor home schedule makes sense...having tixs since or before 2000 and now suddenly becoming sick of the product on the field doesnt make much sense. There have been some awful teams through those years.

Well, maybe I thought the future of the program was in pretty good hands with Guy Morris. When Morris took the $$$ and ran, Brooks came along. After some staff changes, you saw what happened with his leadership. I said I did not want to get into this stuff, but there are things missing with this leadership that was not an issue with Brooks. And alot of this stuff is off the field items, not to mention the on the field results we have witnessed. Not everything makes the paper, nor should it but people in every position should be accountable for their actions. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully we will get things straight one way or another and reunite this fragmented fan base.

I hear you tWhit, maybe you would understand people's dissatisfaction with the state of the program if you actually had some skin in the game by supporting the program with season tickets. Try committing about 30 years of premium football tickets (my two and parking now run over $1700 a year), watch the decisions Joker and Mitch have made and then get called a microwave fan by the administration while they put the bare minimum into the program. Travel a few hours to the games, maybe a decade from out of state, throw in away games, 110% donations and lower tier bowls and it adds up. On the other hand, you can just invest nothing into the program and watch from the couch when it suits you and save the money and effort. Hey, more people are deciding to join you than join me.

The problem is: what response are you expecting?
Administrative support: The administration went and sought bonding capacity for upgrades. Denied. Private funding is now being sought, since the legislature has approved the expenditure. Players and recruits are talking about how nice the upgrades (locker room and Nutter renovations) that were quietly done look. New video and ribbon boards. Survey of fans regarding gameday experience. New uniforms from Nike, including player-requested black.
The support isn't what I would like to see, but to be honest, I wouldn't be satisfied unless UK built a football palace. There is probably more administrative support now for the football program at UK than there has been in a long, long time. Given the long history of administrative neglect of the football program, choosing now to take a "stand" is likely more detrimental than helpful. Especially because now is when the administration is finally trying to get funding and make upgrades. Lack of fan support will quite possibly be the reason funding/bonding is denied. Will the non-renewals who are making a "statement" man up and take responsibility when upgrades aren't done and waning or fickle fan support is cited as a reason?
Results on the field: If you (or anyone else) thinks that non-renewal will improve the results on the field, either directly or indirectly, you are delusional. If our biggest problem is talent and coaching, what great talent or coach is going to come to a historically bad program with a fanbase willing to drop their team after two poor seasons, even though those poor seasons saw a win over a top 10 team and the ending of two embarrassing streaks? Even more poignant, the last two seasons aren't even in the running for "worst seasons" this decade.
To answer your question: Express your frustration by communicating with the administration and decision makers, because that is a constructive action. Even better, it's a constructive action without detrimental effect on the players who sacrifice for the program. If I were a current UK player, trying to host a quality recruit, I would be embarrassed to have to explain empty seats in Commonwealth when we try to sell our program on fan support.
Limiting the communication of your concerns to nameless low-level employees who work the ticket phones is cowardly.
