Hey Students

[ShrubDog]

I would like to take this commercial break to say


17 Y A L L

 

[BulldogBlitz]

17n students are still learning. Its the rest of the stadium that needs help.

 

[ShrubDog]

There may have been 1k students at the game. Last time I checked we had over 15K students living in Starkville.

 

[Philly Dawg]

I’d say something about it except that I’m sitting on my couch instead of in my seats.

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

Marketing should've offered free avacado toast.**

 

[57stratdawg]

Is this about the fight song? Cause I’m not sure joe they’re still messing that up.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

The majority of our fans don't live in Starkville. 99% of our students live less than 15 minutes from the stadium. A lot of them can walk.

 

[hailstate19]

I mean it's pretty understandable

we were supposed to roll Umass.

Next week it will be nutz in the student section

 

[paindonthurt_]

1k? Really?

More like 20 to 25% full.

 

[kendesu]

Hopefully, the students got some good studying in today.

 

[ShrubDog]

1k? Really?

More like 20 to 25% full.

So what does that equal in the number of student bodies?


The north end zone addition created a total of 8,815 new seats, which, factored with the loss of the previously existing bleacher seating in the north end zone, resulted in a net 6,255-seat increase. Included in those 8,815 seats were 7,076 grandstand seats, 1,155 Scoreboard Club seats, 236 loge seats, 22 traditional suites totaling approximately 288 seats and 60 field-level suite seats.

My daughter is a student there now. She said a ton of her friends actually went home this weekend.

I can't imagine doing that when we were there.

QB coach Ellliot sounded pretty disappointed in the fans after the game. Rightfully so.

I guarantee if we'd been playing LSU or Bama or Auburn at 11:00 AM the stadium would have been full. It's a "want-to" issue.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Let’s put it this way. There were more than 1,000 students there.

****** support but more than 1,000.

What’d he say? Coach Elliot that is.

Generally speaking he was no more disappointed in the fans than the fans were disappointed in the coaches and players.

 

[Bulldogg31]

What’d he say? Coach Elliot that is.

He basically said the staff and team was really disappointed in the crowd today.

He said, "look, we are 6-2, playing really well, coming off a big win, it's a beautiful day, there's no reason the stadium should be 1/4 full. Very disappointing."

He said just like the team feeds off a great crowd, they are affected by an empty stadium. He's right. We've got to get better as a fan base.

Yup, he’s definitley right.

I wonder what the hell happened to that sell out streak we had. The stadium was always jam packed...cost for maybe a corner or two in the upper deck.

It’s disappointing for sure.

 

[Go Budaw]

1k? Really?

The student section only holds about 8500 fans. So you are arguing the difference between 1000 and 2000 fans. Either way it is pathetic.

1/4 full is also a huge over exaggeration. With the exception of the students, the lower bowl was mostly fine. After halftime though the student section was a ghost town, which I didn't get at all. It's a freaking tie game.

 

[DAWG61]

I blame Call of Duty getting released today**

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

You're hurting their feelings.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

The students did this last year during Basketball right?

Maybe kids in Mississippi that go to state don’t care about sports or something, I dunno.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Next week it will be nutz in the student section

Until Bammer gets up 14-0.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Until Bammer gets up 14-0.

God our fans are so pessimistic.

It’ll at least be 14-3...you seen our kicker? He’s a beast.

Sorry for being so pessimistic.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

I think we need to go with "part" of my idea. We have 9 portals on the East Side but only 6 Portals on the West Side. We have 3 very wide sections between 4 of those west side portals, with as many as 48 seats on a row. That is 19th century bleacher seating right there. Cut walkways through the middle of sections 3, 4, and 5.

This should cut our seating capacity by "exactly" the number of seats that were empty in the lower bowl!**

Then, when we play any team not named LSU, Auburn, Alabama, or Olr Miss at home, place huge MState banners over the 4 upper corners that never have anyone sitting in them.
Finally, and this should help tremendously, assign student seating by Student ID, and any student who doesn't stay in their seat until at least 10 minutes remain in the game must pay $50 each towards the cleanup of the cesspool that is the Junction following every game!**

Just make them card in and card out, kinda like timecards. Then impose fines if they leave early. Think the student union would allow that?

He needed to look again. It was closer to 80% full, not counting the student section. They were maybe 10% full.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Post the non attendee list here.

UMASS put up a pretty good fight considering the ****** fan support they got...

I hate it when anyone blames the teams lack of energy on fans not showing up. Guess I'd hate to see the outcome if we played UMASS in an empty stadium.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Don't fine them for leaving, but have drawings for prizes for the students who are there the whole game. All of the students who stay for all 4 quarters of every game get their name entered into a drawing for a semester of tuition, or something.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Damn near did!**

Signed: 50,000 max fan base.

 

[Dawgzilla]

He was exaggerating, but the bench faces the student section, so it probably did look pretty bad to them. I'm not sure how often they pause to turn and look at the entire stadium.

 

[fang]

The stadium WAS more ham 1/4 full........

Best I remember the Patriot stadium was almost empty last year.

Me,too!

 

[RocketDawg]

Isn't part of the student section above the band? It was almost totally empty today.

Polk , more or less, used to blame losses on the fact that fans DID show up.

True that. No excuse for the lack of student support. Just a terrible thing for the players to see when they run out on the field. I really don't remember a worse student turnout in the Mullen era.
