No butts in the seats and tailgate lot was just as bad!

Was that Christian's dad running around in shorts on Saturday?
I saw Andre Stubbs mom wearing an OSU stocking cap Saturday. I hope she doesn't get thrown out of the stadium the next cold game.

Haha, yes that was our dad in the shorts. Not sure why, he just always wears shorts. I was bundled up cause I cant stand the cold. Couple Players said that this past game was one of the coldest games they have played in the past couple years. Said the wind on the field level was brutal and made it feel that much colder.

Do you fail to realize that every year under Wolfs tenure the team has increased its win total from years past (3,6,7,8). And the past 3 years the team has been 1 game away from the playoffs. But in those crucial playoff games where the team needed a 'home field crowd' they got nothing. It is in fact a running joke around the community to guess the attendance for the game (last week the pre-game prediction was 5,000) which is such a shame due to the talent level of the team this year as well as the overall record (should be undefeated).
How can you put this on the players, when the players bring 500+ of the "butts in the seats" due to friends and family coming to support them. If the players could pay to have a sellout every home game and have a home atmosphere like they experience on the road, I would be willing to bet any amount of money that they would do that in a heart beat.
The best home atmosphere those boys have had all year was at the end of the Western game when the true fans stayed after the bandwagoners left and the game was given up to a Hail Mary at the end. The players seemed out of sync because they were not used to playing in a home atmosphere like that on offense. Watch the post game interviews from that game, there were a lot of communication errors because the defense was not used to playing in a loud environment such as that.
Every week all everybody needs to do is bring 1 or 2 people, not get black out drunk at the tailgate, make it to the game and all these problems will solved in no time. Well that and our boys making playoffs this year.

This is a nice post. Alot of the players do bring alot of family and friends. I know for a fact that my family brings at least 10 to almost all home games. We utilize Christians tickets that he gets for the team, and we have 4 more for the Penguin club. Aside from that often times if his roomates families are unable to attend we use them up as well. Next week for Senior day I am flying up, and I know that we have 15-20 coming up. And you are right, each year under Wolford their record has improved. Only thing missing is a playoff birth, (fingers crossed hoping that this is the year)!

We are not the only one with attendance issues. ISU had to be disappointed with Saturday's turnout. 7-1 team playing a 7-2 team for 2nd place in the conference, decent weather, and only 8300 tickets sold.
Karl Hungus:
Get everyone you can to attend. The seniors really deserve a nice crowd.
