re: Students - you should be ashamed of yourselves!

I had student tickets for a long time (02-10). At the beginning, we always went 30-45 minutes early, and either stayed until the end, or left in the 4th during blowouts.

Differences between then and now:

-We got season tickets for all home games relatively cheaply
-The games were exciting and fun
-The players were much more excited
-The band fired everyone up all game long
-You weren't seen as leper for getting drunk in the stadium
-We used to be able to give other people our tickets
-Electric on offense
-Blowing people up all game on defense

And I hate sounding cliché, but our cell phones weren't as advanced back then. I got to see the transition over the years. Make the games more fun, and the students will come and stay
