I also think it's unfair to compare what ASOR is trying to do with something like ESPN+ or Hulu. When you have these massive enterprise scale companies, they can afford to charge you less because of the sheer bulk of users they're bringing in.

I harbor zero negativity towards what you and Jon have done BYD, and frankly I agree that there are some around here that don't deserve the amount of work he has put in. My point was to simply state that it isn't as big a financial outlay as some might think if you break it down

If you can’t swing a membership I can say for 100% certainty that there are no hard feelings. That’s why your access won’t be changing. I just found some of the negativity to be frustrating bc I know the effort Jon puts in.
Honestly, compared to the reaction a lot of sites get when they do something like this, the reaction seems mildly tame. Unless people are quietly sending angry direct messages, LOL.

I think most folks here understand that this site isn't a revenue generator for those who run it and its existence is appreciated. I wish you guys nothing but the best. I would have contributed to the legal fund if you guys fought LU on the name change, LOL. #flamefansforever

Just look at it as supporting a site fee. It takes time to put together and I don't mind helping.

Hey guys, thank you all for your kind words over the past week or so (and even the not so kind words :D ). No, seriously I really appreciate everyone's feedback, it helps a ton, whether positive or negative.

Thanks BYD for your thoughts, they are very much appreciated.

And postman, this place is looking great! Thanks for all your hard work and your passion for this message board.

For those who have signed up already, thank you so much! We will work extremely hard to ensure we earn your business and you get your money's worth.

If you are still on the fence, please consider it. If you don't think the money is worth it, I completely understand and respect your opinion. We are still thrilled to have you on the site and utilizing all the free content and the message board.

But, if you love this site and appreciate the value it brings to your life and following LU, please consider joining the Club. Everything we have done over the past 7 years has basically been on a non-existent budget. Imagine what we will be able to do with an actual budget!

As was announced this morning, those of you who signed up today will get an 8" by 12" architectural drawing of Williams Stadium. This thing is awesome, wish I had a digital image to show you, but you will love it! It's still available for those who sign up tonight and in the coming days for as long as supplies last.

I've worked very hard over the past 6-8 weeks to beef up our content. We will begin releasing Tuesday AM with our very first Club article where we went in-depth with head coach Hugh Freeze (who took time off his vacation to speak with me) and get his thoughts and expectations on the 2019 season.

This is just the first in a series of stories that will be releasing over the next several weeks - Club and free.

We also plan on beefing up our Hockey coverage considerably this season, for all of you hockey lovers. The plan is for this to be all free as well.

Much more to come, can't wait to see where this thing is headed! Any questions, comments, feedback you know how to reach me.

I just joined the club. My family just went through a move over the last month and we needed to get settled. I intended to sign up on day one, but life got in the way. I’m interested in the additional ASOR coverage, but primarily want to support the great work that Jon is doing.

In town/state, or something bigger?

I know we have only had a few weeks of ASOR club, but I for one see the value of having it. The quality and quantity of stuff being put out for us to enjoy is well worth the money. If Manson is giving us this kind of good stuff during summer time then imagine what will happen when we are into the season completely!

Keep it up Manson!
