That is embarrassing, or simply a sign of the drastically different future, but either way it is not something to send out a boastful or proud tweet. This will be super "back in my day", but back in my day, we called non-stop starting at midnight to get through to get these tickets and the student section sat around 20-30k. Tickets were gone in 24 hours (more likely gone by mid-day or so the first day). Perhaps the seniority system and online requests have ended the urgency, but either way, 7,000 is not an impressive number.

But tickets were .25 ;)

Fair, and funny, point. But, the full student season packet is $120. I think it was $60 when I was in school in the mid-90's. The issue is not different from dumb-a$$e$ like me that buy season tickets. The price doesn't make sense anymore since it is so easy to get tickets at the last minute.

True,
but I was serious . Maybe they weren’t a quarter but it was close. But it all was blocks as there wasn’t assigned seats.

I don't think that's all their selling - it says "with over 7,000 sold....", they've got to be selling more than 15,000 student tickets. The student body is 40% larger than when I graduated (1995).

I love when people cite him as proof that Dumbfuchs Dan is a QB guru.

Half the NFL scouting reports doubted him so much that they thought he was a TE, because they hadn't seen him throw anything beyond simple routes and run Q powers.

Here's an interesting story from Pro Football Focus on why Prescott fell in the draft. Interestingly, they don't blame his DUI, which Prescott himself alluded to being a factor.

Yeah, I dont know what they expect really.

I was just watching EJ in those clips a few days ago thinking HE IS TOLD TO PRACTICE LIKE THAT (throwing without planting etc).

You just arent going to get real footwork practice or coaching in system where even most of the passes are a fake option first.

GbM, what benefited Prescott was the Cowboys were his coaching staff at the Senior Bowl. Wade Wilson (qb coach at the time) saw how coachable he was, and apparently banged on the table and at one point being kicked out of the draft room trying to convince the staff to draft him.
