For 4 exam classes, yes. This is when a lot of exams are. And no, I didn't say this is what everyone was doing.
Good enough. That's an ugly course.

If you can't go to the game, don't buy tickets. If you've already bought tickets and you can't go, give/sell them to someone who can.
It's not rocket surgery.
Does ISU want what Kansas has? If so, then use them as the measuring stick. Confidence always comes before a good reason to be confident. Kansas students were standing in line for hours long before Self began his run at Kansas.I get your point and I don't disagree with most of it, but it's just dumb to use Kansas as a measuring stick for Iowa State. No, our students will not behave like yours right now. If we win the next 9 conference championships in a row, with some Final Fours added in, then our students would.This is like complaining about KU student turnout at football games and then pointing to Alabama as an example that they should measure up to.
Just be careful what you wish for or ISU students will see their alloted ticket numbers get cut. It is Pollard's prerogative to make that number of tickets available to students. If they continue to go unused he will just make them available to people who will A) pay MUCH MORE for them and B) actually use them.It's my prerogative to do what I want with my paid-for tickets. If I can't go, it's not my duty to shove them on someone else. If Pollard doesn't like it, he doesn't have to overall the student section because it clearly didn't work.

It would be a nightmare to organize, track and implement such a system. If you have 400 seats in the "best" level and 600 students that have all been to the same number of games you run the risk of alienating even more fans. And how do you know which of the students in the line have the most games attended? You could have kids at the back of the line who have attended the most games. Yuck. that would be a disaster.See my post above. I really think assigned zone seating is the way to go for the student section. I'm sure it would have it's own issues, but it sure seems like it would solve a lot of the current headaches.
What are these exam things you speak of? And other events? Wow, college has sure changed.I'm not going to speak for everybody, but there were major events on campus that day as well, and it's getting close to exam times. Sorry to our AD for doing the whole college thing. Anyone who spent gobs of money to go to the college isn't going to be guilt tripped by the athletic director or other fans for not going to the game.
Yeah, that is the point. Too many of the students who are buying tickets are not good fans.Just because they are bad excuses to us doesn't mean they are bad excuses to others. As much as I'd like every fan to literally bleed cardinal and gold blood it isn't going to happen.

There is no real excuse other than some students buy tickets because they can or they do it to fit in every once in awhile. But the students on here go to all their games.
Everyone here wants ISU to become a national relevant program. All the BS you listed are just exceuses why that won't happen. It is absurd that ISU students don't support their team at this critical juncture in the programs history. You don't think ISU recruits read these types of stories? Both ISU and Okie State have had to have their AD or coach pleading for students to xcome to games in the last week. That doesn't exactly scream "our fans love our team." Don't turn into Mizzou and only fill the arena when Kansas comes to town. People may think it's not a big deal to just eat their tickets if they can't make a game but it adds up. Every ticket holder should have a list of people who would be willing and happy to use their ticket if they are not able to. My family was not able to use their tickets to the ISU @ Kansas game last week and it took us about five seconds to find some KU fans to buy those tickets from us.
Referees in our back pocket and fans that don't boo?
Joking. I have nothing but respect and admiration for your program.
Eh, imagine ref dilemma Saturday, KU basketball or Texa$?
Did anyone see the attendance at the Okie State game yesterday?? That was a huge game in a tiny stadium and I could argue it was around half full. Hilton is the only place for College basketball. CPH and Jamie have re ignited the fire in Hilton. The only place that can even touch Hilton with attendance would be Kansas. Iowa State had one game where students didn't pack it but there was still more students than many places could dream of
