You seriously need to get over it. There's not one person here wishing Riley was still here or is mad that he was fired. I get tired of you creating a false narrative to try to support your argument.
Attendance 2017
- Thread starter davecisar
- Start date
I take IT you’ve never actually been to a game in person
It is absolute crunchville
God bless little kids and people who don’t show up
And my weight is just 5 lbs from my playing weight
Absolutely no motivation from anyone to fudge the numbers
They are accurate
You'd be wrong and I wasn't being serious about the weight, it was a joke.
It just seemed funny that you're over here doing all this hootin' and hollerin' about Riley and how 20,000 people don't show up to games anymore, but that it would be super easy to fool the other people at the game (and the cameras) into believing that 20% or so of the crowd that you say doesn't show up is actually there. It just doesn't seem believable.
No one has anything to gain by lying
If you tried selling your extra tickets last year or were at the games you would get it
Some people do not understand how season tickets work
See
When you buy a season ticket which is how nearly everyone sitting in a seat gets their tickets from- it gives you a ticket for every game
You get the good games and the bad
You might even not bother going to a game like pacific- but you paid for the ticket because if you didn’t you wouldn’t get tickets for the rest of the games
But you pay for that ticket so you can go to the rest of the games
There are very very few individual tickets for individual games
Singles that season ticket holders don’t want
And for a team like pacific a couple of hundred tickets returned from their mandatory allotment
Not sure where supposed “fans” want to denounce a 55 year record of support
Big difference in the pacific season and last season- the conference games against the best teams were not missing 20 percent of the fans and tickets couldn’t be bought for 1/3 of face

Why does this keep coming up? Why work so hard to try and undercut something the program can take pride in? If the seats are sold out, they are sold out. If a student or whoever is out of town for the weekend and doesn't sit in his/hers, so what? No one ever claimed that all the seats are always occupied every week for the whole game. If someone wants to buy 10 seats and doesn't arrange to get a warm body in all of them, so what. The seat is SOLD. Part of a SELLout. Apparently other schools haven't had that as often.

The 4th graders you coach must be falling over themselves to impress such a stud
Devaney hated empty seats and he hated people to leave early.
On one occasion he saw an empty seat and turned the game over to an assistant so he could check it out.
There was an older woman next to the empty seat and he inquired.
She replied it was her husbands seat but he died.
Devaney asked if she couldn't give the ticket to a friend so the seat is used.
Replying she said she tried but all their friends were at the funeral.

Millenials are all about diminishing the accomplishments of others so they can feel better about their own mediocrity
They want everyone to be mediocre
I don’t get it
If someone is doing well honestly and honorably
Good for them
Find out why/ how and use what you can learn from them to have success yourself
No need for covetous jealousy

So some Nebraska supporters holding on to an artificially continued streak is the fault of a group of 20 year olds and their desire to be mediocre? Good one.
Many Millenials despise those who have had success- they do their best to try and poke holes in the success of others
IMO it’s probably to help them feel better about their own lack of success
Real shame
Imo others are doing well- good for them more power to em
At the end of the day season tickets were made available last year and were sold out by July
That is a fact- even with the awful football we saw under your man riley
Real shame “fans” of a program so critical of the unprecedented successes of said program and its history
I work with football people all over the country and their opinion of nebraska is higher than many Nebraska “fans” here on the board

I burst out laughing at that one. Sucks when someone tries to make a point, but actually makes the opposite point, proving themselves wrong.
What?
What studies have you run on millennials? Or read about them to support your claims here? And please don’t claim the eyeball test, as that can easily fool a person (just look at the stadium hat appears full even though it’s 1/4 empty).
I’m genuinely curious about the statistics behind your claim that many millennials sabotage success to make themselves feel better.
That's no different than any other group of people that ever lived probably for all of human history including the baby boomer generation, generation x, generation y, and whatever label we can throw on any other generation.
You can find evidence of this by turning on Fox News or MSNBC for 12 seconds.
You will likely notice a group of vultures gleefully tearing down the "other party's" accomplishments, whether recent or in the past.
And you won't see too many millennials on those shows.
Remember when Colorado had a "buy one ticket, get nine imaginary friend tickets free" promotion for their spring game? That was a sellout, too. All 400 fans in the stands impressed the hell out of recruits that day.
No one is doubting Nebraska fans have been faithfully supporting the Huskers for 56 years. But the sellout thing is starting to become an embarrassing joke. Let the athletic department tout it if they think it helps marketing, but we don't have to make excuses and pretend it equates to a full stadium for every game.

Nobody has a full stadium for every game. There will always be no shows. Now, if you are saying that there are actually thousands of tickets not sold that some boosters buy up then show me the proof of that. It has become one of those unproven narratives on this board that this is the truth and people post it like it is a proven fact, but never present evidence. They just assert it as true. I am fairly confident that boosters have bought unsold tickets. I have no evidence for that but it has been repeated on here by people who seem to know things, so I will stipulate for the sake of argument that it is true. But I doubt it is a lot.
So how many unsold tickets that boosters buy up are there then, on average? Can you tell me that and give me evidence to back it up? Thousands? Hundreds? If you are going to call one of our greatest traditions an "embarrassing joke" I would assume you have solid evidence for that. So please provide it.
I agree with this, there are going to be no shows. When you look at Memorial at game time, I certainly would have a hard time counting 1000 seats unfilled. Nebraska packs the house.
I agree about the eyeball test. The stadium always looks full. So I doubt there are thousand and thousands of empty seats at kickoff. That said... the space for your seat is damn small. You are really packed in like sardines. So there is the possibility that no shows allow people to spread out more thus masking how many empty seats there are just by looking.
Still... I get your point and I agree.

Yup. You've gone full potato. Good job. I am concerned about your well being, and the well being of those around you. Please seek help before it's too late. For their sake at least!
Full potato? Lol. I like that one. Gonna add it to my list of insults. Seriously.

It's not an insult. The guy has completely gone off the rails.
I like some of his stuff. But he is like a pit bull who won't release off certain issues.
But his stuff on the Millennials is a cartoonish caricature.
