We can poke fun however we know Puc 86 is the cream of this very ordinary crop, he sets the bar with his behavior (albeit low) and we all do what we can to clear it.  Hated to have to correct what many of us call a mentor, but it important we hold ourselves to a higher standard for the good of the board.

Only if you count yourself and maybe 1 other.  😁

2018 had a nice bump in attendance compared to 2017. 

So if with Wisconsin and a good showing vs Gtech and BYU maybe we can continue to grow attendance some.

This is my hope.  A great start against these teams and looking good doing so could propel us to pretty good attendance in the conference schedule especially if we are anywhere near a ranking......if it goes the other way the attendance will get ugly.

And i dont have a problem with Mr Ford speaking his mind.  He wasnt being nasty about it.

I’ve got to be the higher standard on this board people have been alluding to.

When you figure it out maybe you can clue in the rest of college football ...

College football attendance is at its lowest point in 22 years

This has been trend the last couple years..and not just college football.....the NFL and MLB attendance has also been trending downward as well.  Different factors at work....but advanced technolgies and different priorities from the millenial generation are big factors imo.

Dont see mainstream attendance trending back up anytime soon for many sports.

I’m far from a millennial and don’t go see MLB or the NFL.  As for the NBA if you sat me next to Drake in any arena in the league for game 7 of the title I would decline.  

Pro sports are awful.

I shouldnt just blame millenials, thats unfair.  Attendance issues seems to run across all age groups.  

People are choosing the mancave approach.  And why wouldnt they....cheaper, still great experience and never have to leave the house.  

I prefer going to games.  But im old school.

Pretty close.  A mythical nothing creature.
