We changed endzones from Northeast corner to South in 2001ish. Students still showed up. It's only the current students that suck at attendance. So what about the location. The rest of us were just glad to have a ticket to the game. Check out UGA's student section. They cram them 3 to a seat and still don't have a guaranteed seat. It's hot and uncomfortable but they pack it out. I get the complaints but I don't get the lack of attendance. It's a fun period of life and is very short. These kids spend it bitching and drinking in the Grove. The rest of the classes at Ole Miss got there early, some had to drive to Jackson for a majority of games and stood in a hot and shitty stadium that was near a crime infested area of the city.

I know we did so we could get in the front few rows of the old student section. I can't remember leaving at halftime from any games when I was a student. Leaving early wasn't a thing when I was there, and we weren't really that good then, either. When people left at halftime, it usually meant they were too wasted to stay the rest of the game.
Yes-winning cures all-but this is a different generation of students. They have much less interest in college football and far more interest in themselves and their iPhones-which is an extension of themselves.
And get off my lawn.

I can attest to a lot of that. I was a student at Ole Miss from 2011-2014 and my brother (who was also a student) showed me the best place to sit was the outside edges of the student section. The closer in the middle you were the more annoying the students were. That middle section was empty after halftime unless we were playing a really good and close game.
