My friends and I go 2 hours early to every game to get front row. Is it disappointing that CA isn't packed? Yeah, but there are bigger and better things to ***** and moan about in this world.
I've done the same thing..however the calc midterm is more important to me then watching something for entertainment...difference of opinions I guess.
Wow really? I get home from the game and this is the largest thread? That's incredibly sad. Like someone posted, student attendance was lacking, but there were empty pockets everywhere else.
******** about students having schoolwork is pretty pathetic. I know several people that had exams, labs, etc. tonight or just things that had to take priority over the game. Our normal group of about 6 students was whittled down to 3 because of reasons like this. You're so eager to call out the students; do you have the same gall to call out people who didn't go because they have kids or an 8 pm Wednesday game wasn't feasible for them. These threads need to stop.

How about making student tickets for each game, "first come first serve?" Surely we can get 2,000 out of 27,000 students to go to each game?
Look, I apologize for not cloning myself and having my clones fill up CA. I'll try harder next time.
As a student I am pretty disappointed with students showing up. There is no reason why there should be that many seats open. Can't people that are studying just plan ahead and maybe study more the night before, more during the day, or even just stay up a little later tonight and study? Not that big of a deal to take a couple hour break.
Wow...
If a little individuality works for these guys:
Then I think it should be good enough for CA.
Okay... but if you aren't the ones the thread is targeted at, then why get upset about it?
That's like saying that I get ****** at my dog every time we go for a walk because it ***** somewhere every time we do that activity.
"You suck at cheering and you aren't doing a good enough job at getting your peers that you don't know to come to the game."
After EVERY game.
Wouldn't that **** you off?
Agreed, but I just feel that it is unneeded negativity and finger pointing after a win.
I'm a student, have been to every game this year, and it upsets me that we don't have more show up. I had a couple guys I normally go with just decide not to go, which doesn't make sense to me. If you spend the money on the tickets, why wouldn't you want to go to the games? At least be courteous enough to transfer your ticket and shirt to a friend if you know you can't go.
I think the students that do show up are doing a heck of a job though. Lot of good signs, people going crazy, and Cyclone Alley is doing it's best to get people to show with the rewards program they have going on. Plus, I saw an empty beer can in the student section while I was leaving, so you guys can't say people aren't trying to be rowdy

And if you were at the game, then the threads aren't directed at you. So what's the big deal?
the thread title says student turnout is appalling..and since cyguy is a student (pretty sure) then it is directed at him..

I go to every game an hour and 15 minutes early to get "my spot" next to the Huge I State tarp covering that square hole.
This thread is stupid as the old people are the ones that suck the atmosphere out of the place.
Plus everyone on this site IS A ******* FANATIC. Anyone posting in this thread who wasn't at the game needs to shut their ******* mouth. I do my part, what do you do? That's right, you sit at home and complain about cyclone alley and how the students don't do **** for a ****** TTech team.
These threads **** me off more than anything else, and it's pretty pathetic that some people need to call out our OWN fan base for attendance when we have some of the best attendance in the nation.
I've been to all the home games this year, and it pisses me off when I have to read about this all the time.
these threads aren't directed at the kids who show. they are directed to people who decide how the student section is run. 5 years in a row ... the student section is always at least 20% empty at every game. lots of missed revenue and atmosphere.
hopefully it all changes finally.

Because it's generalized as "This years students" don't show up for games.
And then you get the posters who get on and say "back in my day...."
