We rarely packed the house against shit teams. Ever. 1990-1991 Was an anomaly in history.haie said:
Yeah this narrative is dumb. I went to most games in 16-18 and half of them in 19.1to392831weretaken said:
I only went to Stanford and USC that year, and both were sold out and loud. Secondary market tickets to USC were over $200 per.YellowSnow said:
Not really. We won in 2016 and they never came like the mid 90s. Them days are never coming back.alumni94 said:Win, and they will come.
We need to pack the house for a 4-8 team against ASU to prove we give a shit or something.
They did do that 40 years ago. Good for them. I hate the fairweather fans and alums anyways.
Of you don’t have season tickets you don’t have to fuck up Labor Day weekend with a 7:30 shit game. PSU can be had for $10. I’m going to that. 1:00 tip off and I got parking in E12 for $50. Waiting get tickets but as of now good seats in the $60 range. MSU tickets are higher, but even it is a hot ticket and pay more, I’m still way ahead over all.
I also go burned on a couple bowl games. Shitty seats from the UW when I could have had much better seats for less money on the secondary market #neverforget.
This was more than every home game of 2016 @haie excluding Stanford and USC. -

When I moved out east in 2012 and my teams main office was in Philly like 3 dudes there were huge penn state dudes. I didn't have to bring it up they just immediately went on the defensive about it lol if we even hinted at a football discussion.MikeDamone said:
Lol. I had a pretty good run in after the Fiesta with PSU fans re: Pedo comments I was making.haie said:
We went through the fiesta bowl website I thought and got stuck right in the middle of PSU fans in a pretty shitty area. That did not go over well. They don't like being made fun of for the Sandusky stuff.MikeDamone said:

Agree that just getting a handful of games you want can't be beat. I want to go to PSU and MSU but have funerals and kids baptisms and fuck staying overnight in Seattle for Kent State. Has to be a conference game against a team that is not an Arizona/Colorado/Utah type to put up with No Fun City afterwards.
It's an easy shit talking subject. Keep it up -
B4 NIL didn't you need to pack the house against a 4-8 ASU to show rest of CFB and recruits you give a shit about it?MikeDamone said:

When kids/coaches talk about "70k fans in the stands" if it's not a marquee game or rival (which bring 10-20k of their own fans to fluff attendance) it looks and sounds silly. -
Most, or nearly all, Husky games have been televised since I was old enough to care, so late 80s.Canadawg said:

Every school is having difficulty selling games out. As @Canadawg rightly points out, tv choice is a huge factor. Very few games are better in-person vs watching at home when you factor in travel time, lousy start times, cost of tickets and concessions for a family, etc. Only the 2016 vs Stanfotd type of games are worth the prices of actually going to the stadium.

It wasn't always that way. In person used to be multiples better than TV. It's devolved into NFL lite. DJ Superslam, t shirt cannon, dumb contests, people buried in their phones, contrived "traditions", etc.BleachedAnusDawg said:Every school is having difficulty selling games out.

Back in the day, everyone at the stadium bitched about the game being televised because the tv timeouts and longer breaks slowed the game down.
