I have sold so many tickets at a steep discount or even given them away over the years to get butts in seats. I think the weak OOC schedule has and continues to hurt interest and attendance. I'm sitting at my State grad student's son's apartment (pulling for Nebraska), waiting to go to the game. He is already in White and I will be (as much as I hate White at home except against LSU next game). Fill Davis Wade, Beat AZ, and Hail State!
    Sorry man! Wasn't talking about you by but I understand why it looked that way.

    Hail State!

    Yep. Everyone else's dream season is the Sugar Bowl.

    Our dream season for years has been winning the Egg Bowl and Liberty Bowl in the same season.

    I saw many games on tv yesterday with sparse crowds. Going to be the norm for most other than a handful of blue bloods.

If I go to a game I’m dropping $500+ because I want gridiron passes. And I’m not going to do that every game.
    Nice. I'll be there around 945 next Saturday.

This is about the only solution I could find.

    Did the hotel in Tupelo a few times; wasn't too bad but not as good as being in Starkville. If you don't have to do the long routine and you live local, you don't really need to say much about the long distance experience. It ain't fun.
    Let me know how it goes this year. I've been thinking about a camper

    No harm, no foul. All MSU fans are passionate and want people to go to the games if possible. Let's get our act together and beat LSU. Hail State!
