Saban stresses importance of fans staying till end of game
Oct 25, 2013, 7:40 AM
|
|
Here's a great coach stressing the importance of the fans staying until the end of the game, even in big-win blowouts. I loved when he said--"if you are not going to stay until the end, let someone else have the tickets who will". Again, I am not saying anyone doesn't have the right to leave, or shouldn't leave because of little children, or because you are 100 years old and need your medicine. I am talking about "Us" as a whole group. This guy knows what it means to the players, the university, and RECRUITING. Sell your tickets or stay until the end.

I could have left after the team ran down the hill if I wanted. Whatever problems Clemson has and they might have a few, the fans and or their behavior is not one of the them. I bet your kids played Soccer

Nope. Keeping the tickets and gonna leave early next time we get blown out.
Where do you sit? I'll be sure and wave at you and smile on my way out and shout across how proud I am of you for being such a supportive dad and great Tiger fan!

Yep--85,000 "fans" had to drive 6 hours. Boo Hoo. Unprepared? No, just snowball effect and all the pressure. You ever play college football? Highschool football? HaHa.

Just need to stay, don't sell the tickets
Oct 25, 2013, 8:03 AM
|
|
The problem with selling tickets is that we end up with a whole row of opposing fans (Section L Row B last weekend). I don't know who gets seats 22,24,26,28 in Section L Row B but I don't think they have been at a game in the last two years judging by the opposing fans sitting behind me. Unless they were the ones who showed up and asked my brother-in-law to sit down at the BC game.

Get paid to be there. Fans have to pay to be there. We are not required to do anything. You stayed to watch a football game, good for you. Hurray, break out the carpet.
I can appreciate a fan questioning another fan far more than a coach.

Many college football stadiums are full of fans until the end, even when their teams are losing. Some, with losing records still pack the stands. For those of you used to winning, count your blessings. The players are in college. They don't owe you anything.

Donate because you want to help the cause. Do not donate to turn around and sell tickets for a profit. If you take the tax break and then make money, you are committing fraud.

that's packed out in the 4th qtr getting BLOWN OUT!
and you're right they are in college they don't "owe" me anything...........even though the fans are putting them through college and paying the coaches a HUGE salary
I expect better than saturday night and don't accept that...................fans have EVERY RIGHT IN THE WORLD to do WHATEVER THEY WANT TO.
keep in mind I'm one who stayed, but it wasn't by choice at all

Your IPTAY money is a fraction of what it takes to put players through school. TV on the other hand brings in millions. Think it looks good when the stadium is empty? Winning or losing, we looked bad and it was made apparent on tv. Get real.

People with little children and old people who need
Oct 25, 2013, 8:36 AM
|

meds just need to stay home. Not only do they sometimes have to leave early, but they can't stand for the entire game either. They just dilute the crowd noise and lessens the intimidation factor, which in turn causes our team to play worse, which naturally causes us to lose games. We don't need those kinds of people.
Signed,
Some T-netters who are really sirrius.

posted comment stating he missed the point. I don't disagree that taking a 5 year old home early is ok. Probably shouldn't have brought them in the first place--another story. I am generally speaking of the fan base as a whole. I commented on being a good fan because he has been attending for so many years. Hope that helps you with this.

Dabo thanked the students who stayed until the very end. You see, he was inferring that they were there when most of the fans were not. It was a lot better than him saying--wish the fans would have stayed. The posts to this topic make it quite clear many of you don't understand the importance.

Why do you think Saban is encouraging fans to stay?

Because they are clearing out when the Tide is blowing out the other team.

RECRUITING?? REALLY? Have you not been watching games on TV recently and seen several so called elite programs who supposedly recruit top notch talent every year dealing with half empty stadiums, because I have. This is just like the internet gestapo tactics used to shut down any criticism of coaching. "WAAAAAH! DON'T DO THAT, THE RECRUITS ARE WATCHING! WAAAAH!!" BS

Sports competition teaches teamwork, perseverance, discipline — and humility.
But while athletes must take the physical and psychic lumps that come with scoreboard shortfalls, many fans reverse their fields when their favorite teams flop.
If your team wins, you can say, “We won.” If your team loses, you can blame coaches, players, referees, the weather, schedule makers, etc.
Hey, it’s human nature to embrace success as your own and failure as somebody else’s.
