Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
Were there other events going on that would have prevented students from showing up?

Partially because they haven't necessarily developed a loyalty to one team. They follow whomever is good which is why everyone loved the Bulls when I was a kid or the Heat and Cas now...
The lack of loyalty is a generational character issue as well though. It has always existed but I think it is worse. My generation is easily more self-loving and disloyal than those above us. This is obviously a generalization with plenty of exceptions. I love seeing a little kid that pulls for a team even when they are bad. I can properly guess certain things about their character and future based on something so simple

Rep time. Nice one Ron.

I have zero agenda I am telling the truth everyone left at 27-3. Last week we all left at 31-10 that's what's happening. Incarnate word 28-0. It all happened sorry!
I don't see how the occasional home blowouts are so boring. As a bison fan I love watching next years guys in action. I can totally understand a student stressed out by tests and due assignments leaving at that point though

I think a lot of it is due to short attention spans / Red Bull and smartphones.

I'm sure the student section will be full for the SDSU game.

I think that is over stating it a bit. Little kids cheer for teams often because their parents do. People need to find there way a bit and it really doesn't matter whom you cheer for. I guess my point is that this is a really really cool time to be an NDSU football fan, or any type of football fan in Fargo because it is being played well. Winning championships involve mix of talent and luck. Unfortunately people don't understand what they have until it is gone.

I'm soaking it up. This is a dynasty.

Not everyone leaves. My group ALWAYS stays to the final whistle, it is one if the ways we show our appreciation for the dedication and effort shown by our players and coaches

^this. We don't worry about traffic and the bar or restaurant can wait.
