Why don't LU fans make any noise when things go our way?? ISU fans don't need a band to get engaged. Game totally flipped when the ISU crowd did. I can't imagine being a player and having that happen.

How are ISU fans sitting in the student section?

I did my part to help the Ramblers.
I got Security to tell ISU fans to take down their obnoxious banner after pointing out the Gentile policy not to allow banners over 24 x 24.

I don't know what to do about our attendance problem. Given the high average age of our barely surviving fans, I suspect the die was cast many years ago by a short-sighted budget move that probably saved $2800, but doomed us to have a demographic doughnut hole in our fan base for several decades. Doubling the cost of seats after the Gentile renovation also seemed to permanently drive off about 600 sporadic attendees.

Less about attendance and more how people act at the games. There's NO energy in close games for the most part until the last 2 minutes. I suppose age may be the issue tho.

Games like this also tend to drive away paying customers.

Losing to Drake, and now this? Wow.

This is a team that lost to San Francisco, Tulsa, and a rebuilding Murray State.

And we're a team that lost to Drake. This is the worst game we've played in a long time. Like the team was out celebrating New Years all night.
