Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
Bison fans are spoiled. Students, alumni, and everyone else are spoiled with what this program has accomplished in the past four years. Every week there has to be something to complain about on this site. Sure it wasn't the greatest showing by students, but there were plenty of empty seats in the reserved sections too. The student tickets were cut off on Tuesday and "sold" to the public later on this week. It obviously wasn't taken advantage of.
As far as students being bored with winning in blowouts every week, it definitely is a factor for attendance. For the average student, it's hard to get excited to see a 34-3 blowout at the end of the 3rd quarter. And honestly there's nothing to deter people from expecting blowouts every week. That is how good this program has gotten compared to its peers.
In reality, 99% of FCS teams would kill for our student section and fans in general. Complaining about 500 empty seats total for one game is a very minor issue compared to many other programs across the country. Enjoy what this program is doing right now. It's unprecedented and is very rare for any level of football. Don't take it for granted.

Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
I don't know if you realize you love your college until you've been out in the real world for a while.
My friends and experiences at NDSU are extremely important to me, and my wife.
Today was a tough game to make work. The farmers are in the middle of corn or soys. Construction is crunch time. Hunters are prime time pheasants. High school kids had their own final football and volleyball games.
The college kids need to keep the party going and that's tough in a blowout.
We are spoiled in that we expect to get 4 playoff games that are sudden death, more exciting and at a time it's far easier to make work.

Haha. We students energize the dome, unlike you team makers that sit on your lazy asses on 1st and 2nd down. We stand every single down on every defensive stand, hell, even on offensive possessions. If it weren't for us students, our stadium would be equivalent to UNDs stadium on 1st and 2nd down. So yeah, I'm gonna now call out on you lazy team makers that give the students shit on not showing up, when you guys sit and sip on your pop and eat your popcorn while the students yell on first and second. Bring it. Prove me wrong vs. SDSU.
And no, I'm not talking about all the team makers

As a student and a team maker... I think I win. All of your arguments are invalid.
Students need to have 1k less seats or at least the new endzone section given back to those that wants tickets.

Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
Ashley is right. 500 less students trumps the 5000+ blue hairs that don't even stand on 3rd downs. Heck some of them have had 40 yard line tickets for 25 years for fave value no donation when there are big knockers that want to donate $5000+ and is told there is no seats for them.
U go girl. Way to go students! !

Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
Students can keep their full allotment, just sell the tickets if they don't pick them up by a certain time.

They sell the remaining allotment to the public the day after students don't take them, dip shit.

Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
Spoiled? Yes. But it seriously is not fun watching the game anymore. We are so superior to every team we play. We kicked their ass, dominated--even though we were "coasting" through parts of the game. At 100% with our starters in the whole game, we win 56-6. My friend and I were bored by halftime. It's like having sex with your long time girlfriend or wife. It's boring, predictable, and no rush or high.
After we Quad, we need to move up and be challenged.

Maybe you should take a class on reading comprehension, the poster before me said take 1k tickets away. I replied to keep the allotment as is and sell what isn't used.

You should try hitting yourself in the head with a large hammer. If you are not having fun, maybe take up knitting or something else.

So other than trolling my next question would be...Why continue to post here?
And by the way...to answer your question...I want alumni and FANS who are passionate about NDSU, because of the school, because of their experiences, becasuse of the relationships they have made and because of the difference it has made in their lives. That's what NDSU is about. Not because we win football games.
You are entitled to your opinion.

Until you team makers give the students the respect they really deserve, I wont. Students like me sit out there at 2-3 am every week trying to get front row seats while you team makers sit in your heated buses and drink until gametime. Tell me who's more dedicated.

Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
There are only 4 to 6 teams that can be competitive with NDSU for an entire game in the USA. And that is only if NDSU plays their B game or less. It does take the fun out of the game when you use the eye test, and after 5 minutes it indicates the opponent HAS NO CHANCE TO DEFEAT YOUR TEAM.

You know who what's really funny? I've done exactly what you do every week. Last time I was there at 4 am as a student on HOMECOMING I was by myself until about 7 am.
I'm calling bull on your 2 am...because as I student I never have seen people there before me many times.
With that reply I'm gone. Keep trying to call me out, because I've done this enough and been a fan since before I even knew where I was. Goodluck telling me you're a bigger fan.

I would love the challenge of more FBS games but saying that winning is boring is just stupid; especially considering that some of our games are still hard fought, close, loseable games. We just have a team that knows how to win. If that is boring for you then feel free to move to Iowa and cheer for any D1 team of your choosing.

Hopefully winning playoffs and championship games are as boring.

I love NDSU. My dad graduated in 1964. I graduated in 1991. Sorry to speak the truth. But a substantial number of the fanbase is getting bored and spoiled because of NDSU's dominance. NDSU IS TOO GOOD TO STAY AT THIS LEVEL. THAT IS A GOD GIVEN TRUTH.
