I had been there for warmups every game this year...I was disappointed that I couldn't get a few people to leave until about 6:40 and I knew we'd be late and I gave them shit about it when we got there 7 minutes in. There's not any excuse, people can get there on time

i would blame some of this on the online system. there were several rows that did not appear to have even been given out. there was an entire row in section 105 (row B) that wasn't filled. (i moved there). this is HALF COURT, SECOND ROW, and nobody there. and i find it really hard to believe that an entire row just happened to all show up way late.

Most STATE kids would die at places like Florida where if you don't get to the game and present your ticket (like you want to be there) they will take your name out of the lottery....Keeps a football stadium of 90k PACKED OUT

^ At UF, the students have to pay a set amount before the season for FB tickets and then get their tickets through the mail. It is only like $50 (or atleast it was back in like 2000 when my buddy was going there).

That is a great system because it keeps people who don't really care about the teams away from the stadium.

I had class till 6:35 ass-whore. Although some students didnt even stand up during the game, let alone "oooooooooohhh" when on defense.

1/26/2006 1:57:24 PM

Students we particularly loud for such a horrible game.

1/26/2006 7:38:30 PM

despite the fact that we were getting thoroughly blown out it got pretty loud a couple times

"I'll say the same thing I said for football....based on the numbers, students only deserve half of a gate. In fact, the student gate moves faster than the other gates (and I can actually prove that)...so, unless students would like their athletic fee raised, don't expect so many extras for a group of people who only mildly cheers and shows up"

that has to be the stupidest comment I have seen from you lahyde....we only mildly cheer??? then wtf do the alumni do cause they sit around with their thumbs up their asses the whole game, why do they deserve better treatment then us. I go to every game and on top of that I am in wolfpack club so I go to other sports too and when I get to the gate it really pisses me off that the RBC staff treat us like shit because we are students....FUCK THEM if they want my money when they graduate they better show me some respect now.

1/26/2006 9:39:29 PM

the RBC Center staff has always been nice to me. they've always been very jovial to me, even when they tell me i have to go around to the next arena bowl entrance to get to my section. i think there should be one more entrance. i do agree if you can get there early then please do. i'm sure the players like it when the arena looks full for the player introductions and tip. the main problem i have is when the game is on a weekend and some of the students don't show up until half way to three fourths of the way into the first half. a few girls came in during the Wake game after 12 minutes had passed in the first half.

bit selfish maybe? they pay a hell of a lot more money than we do, and since most seats are already sold out they're not really worried about how many students are pissed off.....sounds bad, but it's the truth

and yes, the student section hasn't really been full so far this year, and it also has rarely been that loud. When students pack it out for every game...I mean EVERY game...then people will listen...until then, you'll get the same message from athletics and the admin every year...

I'm just telling it like it is

1/26/2006 11:08:22 PM

forget listening to the people who pay (or families pay) tens of thousands of dollars of tuition...we're too busy kissing the asses of donors who show up late for the game and leave early whether its a win or a loss....did anyone see the georgia tech game pretty much all the paid seats emptied out with 2 minutes left while the students were still there

1/26/2006 11:43:01 PM

some people also just aren't into being loud and obnoxious at games...i personally will support the team and cheer for em but i'm not one of those people that's gonna go nuts screaming and yelling just for the hell of it. That doesn't make me any less of a fan. I understand the game, i know what's going on, and i'm there supporting them. To each his own...don't necessarily think you have more a right to someones seat than them just cause you're gonna scream the whole game.

1/26/2006 11:50:00 PM

The only reason they ought to show us more respect is because the students ARE the crowd. Our atmosphere is better than UNC's because of the setup. If they want us to come and be loud and not pissed off, then cut us a little slack. Come up with a decent system, and get the people that WANT to be there to actually come. I know tons of people that keep getting fucked by the system that have pretty much stopped trying to get tickets, while we have dumbasses that dont know a god damn thing about sports/basketball/football sitting on the sidelines talking on their cell phones.

The way it is right now, the administration is turning people off from comming to sporting events. With our teams as bad as they have been, you have to make the students WANT to come. They are the alumni that will be donating in the future, and the students make the atmosphere. Games were much more fun last year and the year before when we sucked but there weren't problems with ticketing and shit.

Thats just my 2 cents. It just seems like everyone is frustrated now and its really not the students fault.

are you gay? Why would you bitch about the seats if you're just there to watch? You have to stand anyway, why not at least make some noise while we're on defense? Thats fucking retarded. You dont have to scream, just make noise man. You dont have to go crazy yelling at the referees and opposing players, just make some fucking noise. You're one of the fags i'm talking about being a bitch in the lower sections while we have real fans that are getting fucked out of the good seats.

I dont understand how you can bitch about the system or the fans sucking ass when you just stand there like a douche. If you really know as much about basketball/sports as you claim to do, you would understand the role of the fans, especially students at games. you officially lose this thread, bye bye.

i'm not silent i just don't go crazy when we're getting dominated by a crappy team...i still make plenty of noise.

[Edited on January 27, 2006 at 12:13 AM. Reason : i did bitch bout the alumni...oops]

1/27/2006 12:05:29 AM

fuck tou boods

1/27/2006 12:08:23 AM

Well you made it sound like you're silent at the games

and you bitched about the Alumni leaving early

but they pay more than you're life is worth for those seats

whatever...i go, i'm loud, you dont have to yell and bitch cause we suck, but you should make noise when we're on defense...period.

1/27/2006 12:09:27 AM

STFU...I'll get to the game w/e I damn well feel like it

now that I don't have to wait in line for vouchers/tickets my life is so much easier.... I never went to a bball game last year cause the system sucked - now all I have to do is click a link for a ticket


funny thing is I have just as much of a chance of getting a ticket as the diehard fan who would have stood in line for 4 hours and I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE BBALL TEAM hahaha

so yeah, I'll get there w/e the hell I feel like it and you can't stop me

i had a class get out at 545, busted my ass, and barely made it for tip off. Hey, who would have thought that some of the STUDENTS actually have a CLASS? It was a weeknight, keep that in perspective.

I think not, when we are the only ones that go to games willing to make noise and cheer for our team and STAY THE ENTIRE TIME, I think they need to make it easier and less of a hassle for us so that students aren't not going to games because of their shittyness. Nearly everygame I have been to the alumni have sat there doing nothing and left early even when we have the lead just so they don't have to sit in traffic. I agree that EVERY game should be full, but its hard to get people enthusiastic about going to non-conference games when they have to put up with the bullshit to get in. I would like to see the student section full at every game too, but sometimes that just isnt gonna happen, for instance when we have home games over break...people do go home for the holidays. All I saying is that we are the only ones who show up with any intention of cheering for the team and we deserve some respect.

ok im done now

This is a good troll attempt I must say. If not, then you need some help.
