Question: Will OUR NATTY

[Captain Falcon]

Our first game is against a C-USA team at 3 pm in the sweltering heat. I will be floored if there are more than 50,000 actual butts in seats.

We have had three straight seasons that were very frustrating in many ways. Fan enthusiasm for our football program is not super high right now.

Uncomfortable temps, bad opponents, increased ticket prices and 60 years of cultural changes entirely tangent to being hot, broke and bored . . .no wonder there's attendance issues.

Don't forget metal detectors and the long lines that accompany them

Those are covered in a sub-section of the moral decay.

More like border decay

Short answer is "no", IMO. I don't think it affects FB at all, other than being mentioned on TV a 1,000 times this fall. Course, that doesn't hurt but the effects would be minimal IMO. Just my two cents.

Still on edge, Rex? Don?t fret; August will be here before you know it. ???????

OK, you asked for it!

If your comments were NOT tung in cheek, then to be blunt (like our moderator), you are full of shit! Excuse my french, but your post is not accurate at all. You see all those over 60 (all Boomers) as the problem, the instigators, the group that wants to change America. Well we are not, we are the exact opposite or at least the portion of Boomers that knows where our salvation comes from - you know, the ones you have problem with. We are trying to keep America centered on it founding principles and what our predecessors died for in multiple wars. We simply do not support organizations or people that do not reflect traditional values and especially those that flagrantly oppose traditional values.

Here is what is wrong with America today!

The Supreme Court expelled God from the public schools in 1962 and 1963, when they ruled that prayer and Bible reading in school had become unconstitutional. Today the moral precepts of the Ten Commandments can no longer hang on the walls of our children's public classrooms. Yet many people can't understand why the generation that reached adulthood in the '60s and '70s turned out so rootless and rebellious. This was a definitive turning point in our nation's history since our nation was founded on the belief of God and Jesus Christ. The laws of God in the Bible, and specifically the Ten Commandments, have been the bedrock of western civilization for 2,000 years. Judeo-Christian concepts of justice and legitimate authority shaped the English Common Law and later the American Declaration of Independence, with its recognition of inalienable rights bestowed upon men by their Creator. Our "values" are based on something ABSOLUTE and objective. This is necessary in order for our "values" to have any enduring strength and binding force. But these foundations have been abandoned in our day even at our highest level of government as this generation is now in a position of authority and influence. The results are that we are abandoning commitment and virtue, and degenerating into an openly hedonistic people with an egocentric philosophy of moral relativism.

This is what is wrong with America, not the "Boomers".

Here, here. Nailed it.

I think attendance will continue to decline, in part because athletes are no longer amateurs, and in part because of the increasing cost (tickets, require donations, hotel prices, and such). Paying players is something that will stick in the craw of long time supporters - perhaps not the younger crowd, but it will to the older ones who are the primary donating fan base.

Uh... ok

[Maroonthirteen]

You can click the link in the MSU athletic depts email to buy season tickets and see what's open. It is July. There are still seats open between the 40s.

Crowds are going to continue to shrink. Is what it is

I personally could give a 17 about football.

His post was so bad I just laughed at it. Hoping it was a joke.

[DownwardDawg]

Sadly, my football watching now depends on what else is going on. It used to be the opposite.

Are you serious Clark? Boomers had their entire lives to improve our country and they failed. That is the problem with America. An entire generation that cannot honor what men and women fought for for generations and move us into new territory as a country.
Screw God in schools. I said it. Who's God? Yours? Mine? There is not a single problem in our country that cannot be directly tied to the action or worse inaction of Boomers.

[MSUDAWGFAN]

I am not a "boomer" but will say this - This statement you made is pretty ridiculous. Can I name a single problem - Electing Obama and then Biden was largely due to younger people.

And before anybody says what's the problem with that, if you don't see the problem with our current White House secretary not being able to condemn communism by name, well I don't know what to tell you. The current occupant of the White House made the statement that people in Cube were protesting not having enough Covid vaccines, despite the fact that they were yelling "Liberty" and "Freedom" and holding American flags.

[HoopsDawg]

I can't wait for that Tennessee State game. It's going to be epic. College Football has issues.

[HoopsDawg]

We have a season coming up where we are competing for nothing. Best case scenario a decent bowl in which several players will opt out. Major reform is needed, but as long as the money is flowing nothing will change.
