I'll be the first to apologize for the student section

Since you don't love NDSU it's safe to assume you won't be giving generously after you graduate. Correct?

You say this is typical of the students?

What does that say about the future?

I doubt I'll give a dime. I'm sure plenty of others will. I know plenty of folks who really support ndsu. I'm sure most folks you graduated with don't give a damn or else ticket demand would be outrageous.

Boy, 344.

You're making an ass of yourself.

I'm spoiled when it comes to anything ndsu. My dad loves bison football. Not trolling at all. I don't love ndsu. I go here because I'm not smart enough for an elite school. Most students don't care. It's that simple. That's the problem.

wow a whole lot of silver spoon syndrome... I wasn't smart enough for an elite school either but I still love NDSU for what it gave me (even if it was only one year of education and experience)...

And never said you shouldn't take advantage or anything of your dad's tickets. I'm cool with someone making use of situation they are in... Right now you are not since you're sitting in your dorm/apartment...

I wouldn't get too excited about what one student says about what's "typical" of other students and applying it to future donations. People spend time with those that have similar interests. There will always be a percentage of students that don't care. The lack of attendance is concerning though. NDSU needs to figure out why they aren't selling out student tickets. You can like or dislike Bohl, but I was a student his first year coaching and he made a point to get to as many student organizations as he could to get students in the seats and make noise. At that time students were the only people in the dome making noise at any time.

So you're not an alum... how did you come to be a Bison fan?

And, shall I start planning a trip because I could always find a ticket?

I'm not judging.

I think your comments illustrate exactly why the big plans talked about on this board are unlikely to happen.

Section 21 takes exception.

Again...if the students didnt buy all the tickts...why didnt the public buy them after the deadline if there is such demand????

I love the experiences ndsu has given me. But ndsu itself? No. Honestly I see your guys' point 100%. My views on this are only remotely relevant in regards to student attendance.
