Be mad at students all you want...it's too bad they're in

a spot that makes their attendance issues so noticeable.
I was fortunate enough to have lower level south stands seating for the WF game. Literally sat behind C. Ferrell's family (among other student families).
Here's a news flash...there were empty seats the whole game, and even more empties after halftime.
You can't tell because it's so spread out over the stadium, but if you think students are the only issue, you're quite mistaken.
To be honest, it's your ticket. Do with it what you please. ####, the majority of the vocal people on the issue don't even attend games regularly.
It's so stupid that this is a topic of debate.

mass exodus.
Baffles me, because I live for the moments when I can watch real football in Death Valley.

The elitist attitude that some fans and students have could bite us in the a## big time if it is not corrected very quickly! Recruits see it, players comment on it and you bet the coaches see it too. See Dabo's comments. Nothing is handed to you in life you must earn it. Our players and staff have worked day and night to put us on the map. The least we can do is support our team and let them know how much we appreciate their hard work!!

Players and coaches comment about it because they are asked.
While I am part of the crowd that wants to savor every moment possible, nothing has changed in terms of our attendance. This isn't new.
We just have a championship football team that allows less complaining about play.
And since people must have something to complain about...it's this.

Yep. I was there, and there were lots of empty seats...and I wasn't in the student section.

It seems like the university should be able to track the ticket bar code back to the student ID used to pick it up. If a student picks up tickets and those bar codes don't show up on Saturday (maybe three times?) they forfeit their ticket rights the rest of the season.

Why don't we just escort people with tickets in at gunpoint and then chain them to the bleachers until the game ends?

Hey guy, not everyone is an alcoholic. There was half a tray of chic-fil-a nuggets and some primo pimento cheese sandwiches out there.
I'm just saying that gluttons like the passout rule too.

Look pal, I'm not your buddy.
And if I can consume 45 nuggets, 3 pimento cheese sandwiches, 4 cookies and a fifth of Jim Beam and still be back at my seat before the 2nd half, then I'll be ###### if that's not my god given right to do so.

what it needs to be, but tickets need to be harder to get than sitting at a computer screen. Back in my time in school you camped in line to get better seats, and I seriously cannot remember any of our group not attending a game that we had put that effort into getting tickets. Did not matter where the seat was. We went. We stayed. The computer crap needs to be scrapped. FILL THE HILL!
