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.


Pretty sure BDK is long gone from your site. Now I only get to observe his childish ways on Cyclone Fanatic. I still hop on occasionally.

As I stated earlier in this thread, even in blowouts (unlike you, ours are in losses), I stay because that is when you get to see the future play in actual game situations. It is like Spring football scrimmages and summer league basketball. Sure they are boring at times, but you get to see the redshirt guys play. That alone would keep me at a game to the end.

All the talk about leaving early reminds me of the phrase "first world problems." I would love to win so much that it gets boring and makes me want to leave early to do something else.

When I go to a game, I go to a game. I want to see the whole thing. However, I admit that it is more of a deep, philosophical thing for me. On August 30, I was still there, talking to Tatanka and others right to the end. As I recall, even Lakes stayed almost to the very end of that one (beating FBS teams must be less boring). I was still there when your team made its victory walk along the row of fans in the end zone.

One of my favorite threads on Cyclone Fanatic is about the guy who left the Oklahoma State MBB game early, then heard the stadium exploding in applause while he was in the parking lot, and came on the forum to admit it (and to take his well-deserved abuse). That will never happen to me.

I have nothing better to do during a game than watch the game. And I admit that I just don't understand those who think they have something better to do. Last year, I went to the UNI / Drake game and was amazed at how many UNI students left by half-time. Sure it was a blowout, but who doesn't want to see a blowout of a local "rival?" And are there really better things to do in Cedar Falls that watch the second half of a blowout in a football game?
