2018 Season Tickets

[CentennialBison]

Question to the thread. How interested were you in football games when you went to NDSU? I attended 1984-1988. Bentrim, Stock Year dynasty. Went to 1 game in 3 falls. Later living in Denver, went to two NDSU games in Greeley, and a couple of games at St. Cloud while living in St. Cloud.

Had season tickets going back to the early Bohl Years.

Point being, I go to the games now, would add a couple of more tickets if available, but had very little interest in NDSU while in college.

Averaged about 4 home games a season.

Well, it probably contributed but in reality Bohl’s inability to recruit a QB led to the 3-8 season. He went two consecutive years without signing a QB. At those press conferences the first year he said that they couldn’t put that much scholarship money into one position, the second year he said there were NO Division I QBs in their recruiting area, which was across 8-9 states. It was pure bullshit. The lack of an effective QB group that could compete with each other for the starting job is what ultimately led to a 3-8 season.

The QB group that season was about reason #19 for the dismal season. This horse really is dead but it is kind of frustrating when when people want to revise history. There are already some very good discussions out there about the reasons. It is also pretty well thought out if there was any other AD on the planet here, Bohl would have not seen the next season. No sort of money would have fixed all of that.

Ok your one of the guys that blamed mertens for the loss in Wyoming when wuzindropper and butterhands quist couldn’t catch a cold... and for sure when we lost at Youngstown giving up almost 600 yards... that teams defense was terrible and the reason they lost get a grip

I went to every game unless I had to work.

Same. We'd huddle around the back of a SUV with a couple of beers and some hot dogs in the West lot it costs thousands of dollars to be in now. Super low key and nobody cared.

Student Government fought very hard for those seats if I remember correctly. Didn't it get a little nasty and even the threat of withholding student fees from athletics?

I don't think they want that fight now. The subsidy is pretty small now compared to what it used to be in the DII days. They could take two more sections and almost cover the whole cost.

Bad recruiting, high attrition, high coaching turnover, huge list. Much of the bad recruiting was due to turnover as new coaches didn't have the pipelines built. 2007-2008 had some good players but super high attrition
