I guess I'm missing something here.
Why would any fair weather student (or fair weather "fan", for that matter) care about getting "good" seats to the FSU game...and only that game?
Basically, they thought that was going to be a party so they didn't want to miss it? Perhaps it was hyped up on campus so much that it really never was about football or supporting our team, but more about the party. So much so, that the students turned out for Towson and NIU to secure their spot for the FSU party. It really is the only explanation in my opinion, because really, how do you lose interest after that? Yes, we lost. One game. Is that all it takes? We're 6 and 1 and attendance is dropping?
