I go to every home game so I don't rationally fit into the following comparison but hear me out.

My wife tries to get me to go to stupid Rom-Com movies all the time. I hate them and think it's a waste of 2+/- hours of my day/night. She could tell me the movie is half price, no price, will buy me dinner to go, etc. and I wouldn't willingly go to it. Why? Because it's not entertaining to me and it's a waste of my time.

Now think of that when looking at this through the lens of a casual fan. Your argument that the tickets are the cheapest in FBS football doesn't matter when the product is not appealing to someone. Throw in the cost to travel, inconvenience of parking, crappy food choices, etc. and it's not that hard to believe that some people may not want to spend their afternoons or evenings supporting something they don't enjoy at the moment.

We are fanatics. That's why we spend our time on this board. WE ARE A SMALL MINORITY OF THE FANBASE. People here need to understand that we are the irrational ones, not the casual fans.

[B]Win, make it exciting, and make it as appealing as possible and you will get fans back. [/B]

BTW- I don't care what Kaiser says about how the FSU score shouldn't matter - it matters to the casual fan who has choices how to spend their weekends and the opportunity cost to attend a football game.
