Students No Show

[rrlbees]

It wasn’t just the empty upper deck but 1/2 those in the lower level left in the 3rd quarter. But kudos to the team for celebrating in the opposite end zone after the win.

That's the end zone I'm in, and it was great the whole team running our way.

You can't really expect 18-21 year old students to be overly execited over a product that has been bad for 20+years.
Sure I would like them to become lifelong fans but when I was their age I was in the military, and quite wild.
As the product gets better some of them will come around and bring their friends.

Has nothing to do with 20 yrs of history. Team was 5-2 with a respectable opponent in the house. Students have improved the last couple years but today was awful.

 

[Cusester]

Not every fan (student or otherwise) is able to withstand a kick in the family jewels like the Pitt game. They will learn from this. And hats off to Pitt for being able to crush our spirit like that. I mean, I hate them but gosh, job well done! See you next year!

Excuses...it is decent this year.
They are entitled brats

I’m tired of hearing that excuse. Things are different now. We are good this year. Prior years don’t matter. New coach, totally revamped roster and we were 5-2 going in to today. Change the culture. If you students don’t, how do you expect the team to?

Soft people can’t withstand a game like last week. Seriously what a horrible take.

How does the teams 20 year history have any bearing on a bunch of students, if they cared about SU football before they set foot on campus other than the COVID year they’d be aware of a team that went 10-3, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6, 6-7, not exactly horrible

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

After the game the team should have gone over to the student section and given the middle finger to all the empty seats and unused t shirts

Yeah. That will make people want to come. The Admin would probably kick the players out of school for being mean.

 

[SUFan44]

Hadn’t they been pretty to really good this year?

12pm, Halloween weekend, coming off a terrible loss on national TV.

I’m not surprised. Nor should anyone here be surprised.

It’s going to take years of quality play to make the student section atmosphere the same as a Penn State. That, or an extra amount of attention from the athletic department.

Given where resources are going and the new wave of revenue sharing, I’m unsure much will change with staffing. So it will take consistent winning at a high level and putting guys in the NFL that people know.

Andre Cisco, Zaire Franklin and Garrett Williams aren’t going to cut it. Even though they’re very good players.

 

[Cuse House]

We need to win the next 3. I want to experience pandemonium against Miami in a sold out Dome.

If you're talking about random 18-21 year olds, then yeah you're right. But students should take a little more pride in their school and support one of the most visible parts of it when it has a winning record and has a chance to get bowl eligible with more still on the table after that.

 

[NJneer12]

I dont wanna hear this crap about the product. The games at the Dome have been bangers this year.

Students didn't show up on Homecoming vs a rival. Lame with capital L.

Halloween must been crazy last night lol.but c'mon. Have a few hair of the dogs, get some eggs at the dining hall, and get your ass in the Dome. No excuses. I did for freaking GERG. You can absolutely do it for Fran and this resilience team.

I hope Fran challenges them.

Great to see them celebrate in front of their families who now sit in the 100 level of the end zone on both sides of the locker room tunnel.

SU Athletics needs to rethink that many seats for the students. They should at least open up the 100 level corners to season ticket holders and try to fill the 300 level.

 

[JimBoston]

Personally, I think the university scheduling homecoming for Halloween weekend is not a good idea.

 

[Newhouser]

The school gave way too many seats to students. Stupid decision

 

[Cusefan69]

So we have hardened fans on this board who literally quit the team in the game threads, hammer the coaches and the players and we are now busting on the students for not showing en force? Some of the students hung around better than some in the game chat. For the most part the students have actually delivered this year.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It was their last home game too. UCONN and Miami will fall over Thanksgiving break. Can you imagine if we win our next three and GameDay wants to come for Miami, we won’t have any students on campus. That would be pretty sad. I doubt it happens, but it could.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Surprised that Fran chose to play OT in the student end of the dome since it was empty. VT had to be happy with that decision.

Matt Park mentioned that and how disappointing the student section was

Guilty as charged here. I was brutal and vindicative in the game thread. It's a form of therapy and cathartic to grouse in there. In some twisted and pathetic way it makes me feel better. I need professional therapy and/or medications.

 

[Irishsecra1]

I sat in 329 for 27 years and got booted out for the students
and they were excellent seats- third row.
i moved to the other end zone but still mad about losing those seats.
and nobody even sat in them this game.

I was at game. God I wish I took a picture. Around 3 people in the upper deck the whole game and they probably weren’t students.

 

[Biaxtar]

As a student I want to apologize for our incompetence to wake up. I’m shocked that nobody shows up. But this year especially, everyone leaves at halftime. Sat with family today and had to look up at the eye sore. Basketball better be better

 

[David321]

This was half way through the first quarter. At the end of the game about half were left maybe.

Honestly man as a "townie" who lives two hours away I'm equally shocked that college football fans in NYS don't support the program like they ought to. So I get it. All we can do is be the best fans that we can be and let people know what they're missing.
