Why is the Dome Half Full?

My kid tells me he likes basketball game because they aren't any blowouts and he doesn't feel as bad for the opposing team.

Fixed your post for you.

you forgot shitty pretzels

Oh damn, don't even get me started on the pretzels. The only decent ones are sold at the Bavarian pretzel stand, not the ones they sell at the concession stands. I like the VERY salty ones myself. I usually get 2-3 just before the game starts.

He's not a true fan then... right SD?

He asked me when I tucked him in Saturday night that if he was a Bison football player would I still be his dad. Made my day.

If my son makes the Bison football team, he is getting a paternity test.

Do you think we will be able to fill up Frisco this year? I bought 4 tickets as usual and always have a blast, but wondering if we might see empty seats there too this time.

I was wondering the same thing. I think there will be some empty seats... but maybe the proximity of the Sam Houston fans (provided they make it) will take care of most of that problem.

Ha! I actually think it's because he's been on teams that have gotten blown out and the experience is so fresh in his mind he has some sympathy for those teams. I tell him at least NDSU isn't like the bunnies and runs up the score once they're up in the fourth and describe that's why they ground and pound it until the clock runs out.

There are several college programs that aren't having attendance problems. Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio State... just to name a few. The Minnesota situation is a bit of a mystery. Their students have bought in to a mediocre program. Nebraska is in a similar situation. How do they do it?

Playing Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Oklahoma, etc is a lot more interesting than Western Illinois, Valparaiso, Southern Illinois, Indiana State, etc

Agreed... how about Mountain West teams? Would Wyoming, Air Force, San Diego State and other MW teams be more interesting than the MVFC?

I think so, especially if SDSU is having a good year or Wyoming having a good year and the history with Bohl
