Ndsu @ jmu semifinal pre game talk

[NDSU92]

I wish purple came back. He was dumb, but he sure did at least try

These other guys are just dumb and lazy

[Dukes86]

Yes it is sad. It just goes to show how far the Dukes have fallen when they can't even get us to fill our stadium.

Dang. Almost simultaneously funny and good smack talk...

[Dukes86]

There's a lot of people in the universe of NDSU athletics that aren't doing what they should be doing.

But I thought it was JMU's fault for not being good enough to warrant a sell out?

I love you Chaos, but it is horse crap response from our fans. This should have sold out standing room only seats.

Meh.. it is what it is. I was in the anger phase of it back in 2018 (http://www.bisonville.com/forum/show...-Bison-Nation!). I've moved onto the acceptance phase at this point that we have a lot of spoiled and/or bandwagon fans that inflated our fan base in the early-to-mid 2010s.

Or it could be covid, economic issues, etc right now but yeah it's probably just piss poor fans......

I agree 100%, all we can control is ourselves. Fans on here getting pissed that games are not sold out every week or going the way they think it should.

Despite standing room seats being sold, no semifinal game reached an attendance greater than the reported capacity of 18700.

Reported attendance is also different during the playoffs. I know at least the band does not count as butts in seats.

Yep. Things like comp tickets aren't counted either.

That's where I get frustrated. Fans hopping on the bandwagon is not a bad thing. Letting them hop back off because you didn't do much to retain them pisses me off. Every single program in the FCS would love to have our bandwagon fans. There are all levels of fandom and not everyone is going to be a diehard. I just really hope the recent trend has fired up the ath. dept. and results in some creative changes.
