First - Chakka always listens to Spouse!

Second - she is a casual fan that for a long time was a basketball only junkie whereas I prefer football. I used to have to force her to come to football games now she likes to go - it also helps that we sit near friends as well.  As a casual fan she listens to all the hype.  Myself, I used to be involved in marketing so I have an interest in marketing messages and how they translate into mindshare.  I post this stuff as obviously I'm just trying to relate the casual fan experience and how I hope it's changing over time.  I know it's a survey of one but I see it elsewhere with others who we are starting to see come to games on a regular basis.

Best way to build up the casual fan interest is through marketing hype (winning helps too) - best way to lose the casual fan base is to underperform the message (losing games helps too). By the way, we both were happy to see the fan turnout Friday night - students were great too.

Basically all she did was just questioned without knowing it if the team is really walking the talk.

I guess I will stop posting about the Spouse (especially before she finds out)!  Nuff said.
