FSU game: students not attending

FSU game: students not attending 


Just got an email from the ticket office stating that students were absent in picking up their tickets so there is a 2 for $44 special, WTF? Our students can be so slack sometimes!

Lol the students are the least of our worries. The corporate seats midcourt that everybody would love to have but stay empty are what pisses off 99 percent of this board. These are the upper deck tickets they give students. It's not a big deal.

You do realize that the game is on a weekday in the middle of the semester, right...?

Most people have to study/prepare for tests. We're not UNC with fake classes and whatnot.

Getting close to mid-term time. I know I have tests this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...

(ETA: No way in hell 3 tests this week will stop me from watching the Pack play.)

It's not that they weren't picked up, they just weren't requested. It's a shame we lost to Miami because only 53% of students that requested tickets received one for that game. Get on another winning streak and the last few home games should be full.

Our schedule has been favorable this season with so many of our Home Conference schedule being on the weekend. All the big ones were, Dukies, Kerlina, The U were on the weekend.

This isn't necessarily at you, 83, but the students have been getting out there for near about every team in the ACC. The stereotype of us only getting up for Duke or UNC-CH is a little overused and untrue. The students have been giving us big-time-program support.

IMO, the students have been better this year than in quite some time.

Absolutely which doesn't make sense why there would be a low turnout for this game.

I think it's already been pretty well explained.  7PM weeknight game during midterm week = some students still in class, some students studying or writing papers.

Students need to get their priorities straight IMO:

1. Social media
2. Message board posting
3. Attend the game
4. Thinking about studying

A soft, coddled bunch we have today.

The students and general population have been very good this season as expectations were very high and our results have been enough to keep people interested.  The noise levels have been great so the memories of old Reynolds keep fading as we improve our program.

Geesh I thought I was defending the students. I was just saying school night near mid terms. A kid might make an exception for a rivalry game. For the record I'm taking a class myself and I'm the father of a Nc State junior

Exactly.

Now that Lowe is gone, we can finally build a real program.

My bad. Took it to mean we only have demand or get into the Duke/UNC-CH games. I've heard it plenty lately, so I guess it was on the top of my mind.

I was a State student that supported the crappy Lowe era teams. We deserve more credit than this year's fans. Easy to cheer for a team that beats Unc and Duke.

I didn't have 1 and 2 in the late 70s. Maybe that's why I graduated. Nothin' else explains it. cool

Just an FYI but do students have to pay for parking?

^ No. I graduated 4 years ago and all we did was either show student ID, show student ticket or even just say to the people we were students.

These youngin's have it so good now. Went to State from 05-09. Talk about heartbreak. I still get mixed emotions of wanting to cry and laugh uncontrollably when someone mentions Gavins 4 loss season.

I felt sorry for many graduating classes during the period of athletic purgatory.
