Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1466943, member: 628"] Student attendance is an issue on just about every campus, and there are a host of reasons why that we have hashed out here over and over again. Thing is, it seems like just about every season home opener has a full, loud student section. Then we lose, or look awful winning, and kids stop showing up. Since we haven't been known as a "football school" since any of them were out of diapers, I understand why they flee so quickly. I mean, I just read a piece this week about SU soccer attendance. If a couple thousand students will show up for a soccer match then they'll show up for football. The team just needs to be better. People want 50s-style undying school loyalty from these kids but its not the way of the world anymore. Certainly not at a super-expesive northeastern private school where the majority of the student population did not grow up in the area. [/QUOTE]
