  1. We would buy a 42ft class A diesel pusher and the war wagon catering trailer. 5 full time employees, a head chef, a site manager, and me the CEO. RevelXP and tailgreeter will be site and platform partners. We will have 6 liquor sponsors, 3 beer sponsors, 2 RTD sponsors and then a variety of additional commercial sponsors. Plan for 1500-2000 per event average and do 20 or so events a year.
  2. If someone offered me $100 to help out and party my balls off in college I would have been all over it.
  3. They are all mostly functionally retarded. It's actually very sad. I paid all expenses, hotel, etc for 4 RTF kids to do media shooting for the sugar bowl party. They were there for a combined 32 hours between them, I gave them unlimited storage for videos/photos a 1TB iphone, a portable SSD to offload and 6 512GB SD cards across 3 gopros and 2 DSLR and I got less than 40 minutes of footage and less than 600 pictures. The drone photographer I hired got nearly 500 by himself.
  4. I just didn't realize that nearly all the engagement there is fake. 99%+ of engagement here is real.
  5. Yep you know how I do. I think it's why your crew likes my away ones.
  6. I have tried. $20/hr help is flaky and unreliable, they don't wake up for the early games and they don't want to commit the amount of time necessary. Its only viable if it turns into a full time thing for people and is like their job job where they are doing sales/outreach during the week and event production on Saturday.
  7. No one is paying to come to a tailgate with shit tier food like that. It's one of the reasons our tailgate is worth the money and we never have complaints of value. If anything we are undercharging. $35 for all you can drink and breakfast is an insane deal. Also it's crazy that you guys magically think that donuts breakfast tacos and coffee isn't $15pp immediately. Each taco is 3.25-4, donuts are. .85-.95 each, coffee is like $40 for 20 cups. That's doing shit on the very cheap. The problem right now is that for the shitty games no one is coming to party before the game. The majority of this season sucked because no one gave a shit and no one was looking to party before or after the game. The watch party thing also suffered immensely because I went to every single game, if I wasn't in the games I could have pushed it a lot harder and made the experience worth it. Having a bunch of randos watch together all quiet and stuff isn't the vibe. I also very much prefer to watch at tailgate vs watching in the stadium for nearly all games, except the crazy ones like georgia last year and aggy this year. Watch parties for away games were also really fucking lame this year after Ohio State went phenomenally. Both Kentucky and Mississippi State watch parties at KoKos were like 10ish people from surly.
  8. Its really weird to me that as far as user generated content sites are concerned that engagement is so fake and yet they charge the same or more for impressions.
  9. I wanted it split out this year, but when everything came down to it getting the entity done with partners etc didn't happen and it was go time so I just continued to take it on under trust. I am aware surly is not corporate friendly. Arky and tamu were positive. Vandy was close to breakeven. The others were total losses on site cost, but broke even on food/everything else. If we just did conference games we would have made money on the season.
  10. Seriously though I do think X is full of bots.
  11. They fixed that. That wouldn't happen this time.
  12. This is a crazy good deal. I almost snagged a pair.
  13. I mean they lost their entire gameplanning team, the entire offensive playcalling staff and the entire playbook/strategy. Ole Miss is gonna get their shit kicked in without Lane Kiffin and the 4 assistants that left. It's their entire identity as a football team. It's really stupid that ole miss didn't let LSU pay Lane Kiffin to coach their team to a possible national championship.
  14. Swap Florida for Vandy or Oklahoma and tell the same story.
  15. I mean bama was precariously close to losing to auburn. The loss to Oklahoma is pretty bad, but they beat Georgia and that counts for something. We beat a&m and it is going to count for something. If the committee wants to fuck around and find out on the Ohio State loss that's what we are going to see play out. This is as cut and dry of a situation to set precedent as possible. If they want these types of games to continue they put Texas in. If they want everyone to cancel ooc matchups outside the playoffs they will have Texas be the first team out.
  16. Tceh is gonna blow the doors off byu again. The gap in talent is obvious and apparent.
  17. Or swap it with Vandy or ou. The Florida loss is bad bad.
  18. BYU beating tech should DQ tech. Lol
  19. This is and has always been my point.
  20. Lol friday. My brain is scrambled eggs.
  21. My opinion is that the playoffs beyond the top 6 seeds need to be truly picked as teams that have a legitimate shot at making a run. Texas is 1 conference win away from being a home playoff host and potentially having a bye week. They are also 1 conference win away from complete irrelevance. The parity this year is higher than ever before and that's what is keeping Texas as a bubble or first out team. There just isn't a reason to give auto bids to anyone.
  22. If Texas scored two more TDs Saturday I bet they would have been in.
  23. I'm not trying to he a dick, but your and everyone's posts which likely come from a good place are not anything but patronizing. I know what the tailgate needs to be successful, it's why the tailgate is successful. What I need is more money for more people and for it to ultimately belong to someone else. Everything that is protips for keeping me involved and as the owner/operator are a non starter. I'll CEO an event company or I'll be a big sponsor of a tailgate someone else runs.
  24. I was just responding to the thread not to anyone.
