Like Tim or not, you are 100% correct.  Tim make it cool to be a Nebraska Basketball fan and no other coach in the past 30 years you can say that about.  One of my favorite lines from Tim was if the p

He should owe us money!!!  What a waste buying guys like him out all of the time to leave us with a shambled program......again!

The thing about glossing over the bad stuff and just remembering the good stuff of the Tim Miles era is that he had good stuff.

You don’t build attendance overnight at a school like San Jose.  Look where it’s located.   I am not certain Mikes would be  a good fit at Cal if he is presented with that opportunity.

True, but for a school with an enrollment of 35k having one of their best seasons ever and an on campus venue that is pathetic.

It's San Jose. There are a gazillion more "upscale" things to do in an incredibly wealthy city. 

 

Boulder's like that, too, when I went to grad school there. Basketball behind.....skiing. 

 

If he can win for a few seasons in a row, that might change the value of the ticket. Short of that...

Keep in mind there is also a pretty stark difference in general between Power 5 and Group of 5 conference teams when it comes to fan interest.  If Tim was winning 20 games at Cal or Stanford they would see much different levels of fan interest I am sure.

In college, I remember visiting some friends who lived in the Boulder area to go skiing.  You always hear about Denver being a gateway ski city in the winter, and Boulder's not much further away.  Heck, it's actually closer to the mountains (although as I quickly learned, the wrong ones) so I had in mind that the slopes would be like 30-45 minutes away.  LOL.  Boy was I wrong.  I don't know who in the Front Range is in charge of marketing, but they deserve a raise.  Expectation does not at all match reality.  It's a 3 hour drive on I-70 on a weekend, assuming no crashes or complications.  That's a road trip to a different state by Midwestern standards.  Although I shouldn't complain, because Colorado keeps the crowds away from those of us in other states who chose to live in actual ski cities.  My downtown is 10 minutes to the west, and my ski resorts (3 of them) are 25-40 minutes to the east.  Suck on that, Colorado 😝

Their football stadium holds 21k and basketball stadium holds 5k. It's certainly a different scale.

I went skiing once. It was after that experience I realized if God meant for Nebraskans to ski, He would have put cornfields in the mountains.
