    Hopefully the recruits that are visiting are escorted out with the students at half...wouldn't want them to get bored.

    Would really like to hear BigDaddyKane and CyPanth or any others perspectives of this thread. I have to imagine you guys just shake your head at this.

    You used BDK and perspective in the same sentence

    If their actions some how impede your game experience then you got something to bitch about. If not enjoy the game and let others enjoy they game the way they want to.
    I'll grant you that my feelings are a bit self righteous, but with all the press the Bison get for their great fan base, its the least we can do to live up to the hype. The team sure as hell has lived up to theirs.

    The two polar opposite sides of this are ridiculous when combating one another.

    I have stayed until the final whistle every game. I love this team and I want to support them until the clocks hit zero.

    When I see people leaving mid-fourth like Longhorns, I don't judge them for one second. He has the right to do whatever he wants and if he feels the game is out of hand come mid-fourth he should be able to leave without the people who stay getting on their high horse talking down to him for doing so.

    I have friends that contribute a decent amount of money to NDSU every year and they often leave mid to late 4th of blowouts too for the same reason Longhorns mentioned...they like to skip all the traffic and make it home in time for the late-night games.

    It is amazing that so many people on here are firm in their belief that what THEY think is the ONLY right way to think and that its not possible that someone may have different ways to value how they spend their time and money. I certainly don't judge others for leaving and our Bisonville community, as a whole, would be much better off (albeit more boring) if we all just understood that we don't all think the same.

    I don't care about the folks who pay their share, but 2/3rds of the student section should not be vacant halfway through the game if they're paying zero.

    I like the idea of points and $ for tickets.

    Its a cyclical system. One team will always dominate for a while , then another will step up.
    NDSU moving to FBS would be a stupid move for all the reasons discussed ad nauseum in all of Lakes other threads.
    Can someone ban Lakes again please?
    That's is bullshit and you know it! Just like Alabama, NDSU WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE AVERAGE AGAIN in football unless we move up. We are one of the HAVES in the league. We don't rebuild, we #$#$ing reload. Have you seen the stud recruits we have? NDSU going 6 6 in 2016 is absurd. We have too much $, too much talent, too good of a program, and too good of facilities to become average ever again.

    We pay a pretty penny for our tickets. And I'm not going to stay if the game gets boring and no one should feel obligated to stay.

    Pretty sure this has been shown to be false by others in the past.

    Staying to the end is a show of respect and support for the players. For those that leave early and are "so close" with the players are you going to tell PGT he hurt himself playing in a boring, pointless game and that you couldn't be bothered to stick around until the end for? The bars are still open when the game is over and an extra 5 minutes of being stuck in the car listening to bison rewind hasn't killed anyone as far as I know.
