I agree 100%. So that begs the question, what can we do to appeal to younger fans, especially students?
I started games and tailgating in 1990, with a pretty sizable crew. I can count on one hand the number of people who joined us after me, and still have fingers left over.

That whole appealing to the younger generation has to do with the marketing department. So wishful thinking....

SDSU has the best marketing in the conference. After logging onto their sites for research and eventually making a purchase from their online auction, I receive updates from them atleast twice a year. What they send is high quality material that makes you feel good, and you feel like reading. They have also sent magnetic reminders for some of their events.
I do think that since Wolford began that we have increased our presence in the media, specifically through facebook and "hype" videos. However, there is still plenty of room for improvement, but it likely will come at a cost.

I agree the hype videos have been a good addition, but who but the very committed like us every see them? I think a TON needs to be done with marketing to grown the program's base.
