I'm not going to start yet another "what went wrong?" thread about the game itself. However, I am going to start one about the only thing that we can control: our actions as a fanbase (if this was posted in another thread, I missed it).
The lifeblood of a college venue is its student sections. Ours has been AWFUL for a decade. Plain and simple, we need MUCH more engagement from our student section during games. Once again, as has been the pattern since the Rent opened, the students were late arrivals and early departures. Once again, the fullest that our student section appeared was from late 1st quarter through halftime. Once again, rows of empty seats could be seen at the 2nd half kickoff.
Now, our horrendous student sections are starting to be noticed nationally. Yes, student ticket sales is a national story/concern. It appears that ours is the butt-end of some jokes:
