Be prepared for the student section tomorrow night.
What? Are they actually going to stay this time?
I'm prepared to see it crazy and rocking. it's Thursday night ESPN. national TV.
Quite the opposite.
Awesome! Love how much our students bitch about our team, and then do nothing to help them out. Very hypocritical
I'm looking around and there ain't a damn soul here...fricking lights aren't even on!
On this same subject, why does the SEC schedule home games on campuses that are on fall break?
If fall breaks are schedules a year in advance and the SEC is notably having attendance problems, why wouldn't the SEC do all they could do to make sure teams were on the road during their fall break?
Its' not like all the schools have the same weekend as fall break. The SEC should make sure teams are on the road that week.
We should make a statement and tarp the damn student section for the rest of the season. No Bama or Egg Bowl as punishment for your garbage.
Or just allow anyone with SkyDeck tickets to get in and send all the students up top.
Haha, what if there was a tarp with the logo on it over the student section tomorrow night. That would be classicQuote:

If that's the case, Stricklin needs to be handing out tickets at will call for a discount for fans that want to be there.

I kinda like setting our expectations for the student section low for tomorrow night. That way, if its moderately full, then we will be pleasantly surprised.
I think what we forget is that many students have family that come to the games, and those students will probably be there.
I just can't jump on board with the whole get mad at the student section train. If the product is good, people stay, its not an MSU thing, its a human nature thing.
LSU had 15,000 empty seats against Florida. Many of them in their student section. There product doesn't suck. Our students are watching some of the best football in the history of our school. If this isn't good enough to get them to stick around, then they must really hate football.Quote:

They should give out tickets to high school kids to sit in the student section. They would eat that shit up and maybe even help future enrollment. They would be loud and rowdy
Your statement is contradictory. They haven't watched football but it's not good compared to what they watch now.Quote:

The other is there's no game or anything to listen to on the way up. It'll be the Dick and Matty show keeping me company.
