Anyone else hear about this protest?

[fairgambit]

I just got a call from a friend who has held season tickets for over 25 years. He says he's hearing of a protest that since the team doesn't show up until the 2nd half, the fans shouldn't either. Fans are being urged to sit outside the stadium and not enter until halftime. I doubt it will get much traction, but found it interesting.

It'd be pretty funny if they could do it.

 

[Zenophile]

Interesting. I’m debating whether or not to show up again at all.

 

[DukeCorey21]

Don’t show up until Franklin is gone

 

[leinbacker]

Yeah, spend 4 hours getting to the stadium, pay the extortion parking fee to hangout for four hours in the lot. Then 4 hours home

It would be great if people would at least stop buying season tickets so they didn't sell out the scrimmages that don't prepare the team for anything

 

[step.eng69]

Well,
If the loosing trend continues, the AD may start seeing trouble waters ahead selling a $10,000 one time buy in for the elite westside club seating + the $5,000 per seat season ticket fee.

 

[Rudy4526]

no but regardless I will be in the stadium.

If your friend has connections to "ICE" then it's probably feasible.

Obviously, that would be interesting. Obviously fans will have to do what they think is right. Obviously, The modern day player can laugh all the way to the bank regardless of their play. Obviously no accountability is a problem but obviously that won't change.

That’s sounds like the many protests against Pirates’ ownership, yet that mess continues.

Agreed--they only care that you spent the money. They really don't care if you even show up but they'll take the parking and concession money lol

Time for a Peace Riot! Draft the incoming mayor of NYC to lead the charge!!

Obviously that was a tribute to James. James loves the word obviously.

My brother, nephew and I are attending both the hockey game on Friday night and the football game. For obvious reasons, I’m more excited about the hockey game than the football game. At least the hockey team plays with passion and effort.

Imagine being an adult human being and thinking this makes any sense at all. Or for that matter, that buying tickets to a college football game entitles you to some level of performance by said team.

Obviously ..................I know James' favorite word ..........

You can use the jester when:
Someone says something a bit silly; enhanced agreement

^??? Isn’t that the whole point of any type of entertainment? The entertainers entertain in exchange for fan support and fan $.

as Gladiator said: “are you not entertained?”

PSU Fan Base: “No. No we aren’t. Goodbye”

You've got to be kidding. The program and university are constantly asking for money so the program can be successful and you don't think fans/donors should have expectations relative to performance.

I have to drive 10 hours each way damn it!! Coming Thursday once again!!
Guaranteed win!!

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

Coach Franklin's agent gives this idea a thumbs up

Somebody here said that about UCLA. I can’t seem to recall the name.

And they have talent, an identity, and coaching!

We are a fraud, 3 scrimmages or not. The fans can make a statement like this and actually assert a little power but no one will.

The only thing this school would protest is warm beer.

I don't like whats going on with the team either, but that protest is a bit childish.

I was thinking of somebody else.

 

[LastFedaykin]

The only real protest they will hear is refusing to re-up your season tickets. Until it hits their wallets they won't care.

P.S. this is not a judgement call or a call to action. I can't afford the tickets, so it's just a statement of fact.

 

[scocha409]

Interesting. I’m debating whether or not to show up again at all.

even during the dark years, I looked forward to going to the next game. Never thought it would happen, but I am in no way wanting to go this weekend, I am truly just sad.......

Lol. Most were ready to rid of Guy last year. He was gone to the fanbase.

Nothing has changed in 40 years and now you don't like what's going on?
