We all stood the whole game while students. Even during croom's last year. Why would the alumni stand the whole game? People pay good money and I'm not about to stand in front of an old man and make him get up and down. We stand on big plays such as third downs, but it's the students job to stand the whole game. Stop being a pussy about the subject.



EXACTLY... Complain about not winning and use the excuse "when you start winning.. we will show up" 8-0 and they don't show up.

I also blame you for the lack of attendance with all those rumors about Dak being hurt



AND there you have it.

I'll say this again like I did last year. It's not a MSU specific problem. Bama has the same problem, though since Saban chewed the students out they've been better.

It's also just the way sports are going. You have an arguably better experience at home with TVs and all access coverage these days. Smaller games used to fill stadiums decently because you couldn't watch it on TV. I think stadiums are gonna have to start making the fan experience much better to keep filling seats consistently.

Students living around campus should never use the tv is a better option than walking from the district/dorms to the stadium excuse.

I sure hope you are joking with this one.

When I was a student we came to interact and be part of the atmosphere instead of just jerking each other off on snapchat the whole time.
