Sunday Morning QB With SVS-Jimmys and Joes Still Matter More Than Xs and Os

[Goldendawg]

The entire east side of the stadium was visiting fans for UGA and Tenn and over half for Texas. Those are the 3 games we played outside mid majors and ASU who is on the other side of the country. Other SEC schools do not have this problem in their stadiums outside Vandy. This didn?t even happen near as bad when Croom was here when I was in college and going to every game. Of course the fans that go are great, but how is it that we are letting almost half our stadium be filled with visiting fans. It legit makes me more infuriated than anything this year. Actually I should?ve just say SEC schools stadiums but all stadiums of P4 teams outside the ones in major metropolitan areas

I know from what I've read that you live in Pittsburgh perhaps, and can't make it to the games. People are no longer going to attend games with a team that has lost 16 out of the last 17 SEC games especially with the high cost of season tickets, Bulldog Club dues, travel, food, lodging if it applies, etc. There are so many more options available for their time and entertainment dollar.

Hardcore fans like my family and friends will always be there on the West side but there has been opposing fans seated around us in section 4, a heavy Bulldog Club section my entire life, which is very disappointing. My hardcore friend has nine football season tickets, four basketball season tickets, and three baseball season tickets. His family has a six hour round trip to attend State athletic contests. His sons are all professionals and live in the same large town as him. The most people he has had for the season has been five for the Georgia game. He will not sell unused tickets to the opposition and will give them to fellow State fans. My group has eight season tickets, and he gave me four for the Georgia game. It took 2 of us working the phones and texting till 8:00 Friday night to find 4 State fans who would make the 4 hour round trip to Starkville to watch the Georgia game which our team didn't show up on either side of the ball. Until we start not just being competitive but winning again in the SEC, there will unfortunately be plenty of seats at DWS especially on the East side. Winning cures everything and we aren't doing it since Leach died and by the way, I hated his offense as it bored me to tears.
