A new and better FBS thread

He's either coasting or doesn't have a slam dunk option such as JMUs situation. But yes, blaming the fan base is not going to help.

Florida State should move up from the ACC so they don't get their best recruits poached by the SWAC's Jackson State.

There isn't going to be a "slam dunk" option in NDSU's case. He and his staff are going to need to earn their money in the short term. If attendance continues to decline, it is going to affect season ticket sales and teammaker funding. Which in turn is going to hurt not just the football program but all other sports at NDSU.

Yeah I get that. There is no easy answer for NDSU unfortunately.

That quote has me pissed, the school has done nothing to enhance the gameday experience over this run. Just the same thing year after year, just coasting because they got fat and happy on our success. They want sellouts, they gotta earn them as well and put in some effort. Fans are already paying P5 prices, for a great FCS product but you just can't sit back and expect everything to sell itself.

Well they haven't done "nothing," they made me join teammakers to keep our season tickets haha.

I walked around during the Souther Ill game looking for something edible (couldnt tailgate that day got to game right at kick off) and it was flat out pathetic.

The food is fucking horrible. I think the only reason people buy it is because they have the drunk munchies.

Yeah, all they have done is ask fans for more and more money while offering the same or less.

The food is very sad, I used to get the Famous Daves pulled pork but that is long gone. The pizza is horrendous, it is like imitation dominoes. Can't even get real crappy pizza. I settle for popcorn or sometimes bacon on a stick but even that has been closed at times.

'I have heard that a little bit,' Larsen said. 'The one thing I would say is if NDSU wants to be attractive to other leagues, having a half-filled dome isn’t very attractive.'”

Really? A little bit? Minimizing the clamoring does not inspire any confidence that he sees FBS as part of the solution.

Lame answer. He should do his job and sell his product instead of blaming his customers for the declining sales on his watch.

Haven’t read/perused this thread in awhile, but WOW—have to say I agree with most of the recent posts re: Larson and the Gameday experience. Not that I’m overly interested in the experience, as I’m there to watch the game more than anything, but the concessions absolutely suck and haven’t changed/beem upgraded, the management of people on the concourse had gotten worse (less tolerable maybe?) and everything has otherwise remained stangnant, yet Larsonis calling the fans out after requiring/requesting more $$ from us without doing anything on his side of the ledger.

I feel we are in a bad situation with lame-duck Prez, as he won’t call Larson to task for this BS at this stage of his tenure, and the new Prez won’t feel like he can until he earns his own respect/authority on campus. Meanwhile, Larson feels untouchable. Guess what Matt, we have voices/a say in this greater than you think/understand apparently.
