Yah the students suck! And they are terrible people! Why do we even have students? UNI would be so much better without them!

At least they should all be getting good grades. Don't even have time to go to a playoff football game.

I sit on the west side, during the season we have become friendly with almost everybody around us. No lie, every single group that walked down to their seats said, 'Where the heck are all the students at?'.

Re: Pack the Dome!

start a rumor about a free pint or pitcher when you show your ticket after the game....

Re: Pack the Dome!

The fact that its on ESPN should help....there will be a bunch of ditzy people show up who wouldn't normally because-- "I might be on TV!!!!" gross, I know, but its a body in a seat..and we don't want any empty.

Re: Pack the Dome!

The student section is clutch, but we have to have the other 7,000 fans show up. Oh ya, and its on ESPN nationwide....we need to represent well-- there shouldn't be a single empty seat seen on tv.

It's good to have a loudly-cheering student section, yes. But the loudest students HAVE been there, even if the student section isn't full.

I don't consider the student section as "clutch" as perhaps it has been in the past. I mean, the loud and rowdy (in a good way) non-students have just as much impact. Especially on the West side, as they are right behind the visiting team's bench area.

Agreed. It was a lot of fun to see the NH coach screaming out the calls on 3rd down and the QB struggling to hear it...he had some serious issues trying to call audibles, too.

Re: Pack the Dome!

Any chance a business will sponsor towels for every seat??? Homecoming vs SIU last year was great! the towels really got the crowd going.. i know many on here opposed the towels because instead of clapping and yelling people were just waving there towels.. but being on national television i think it would really LOOK great and the students will be loud regardless.

Re: Pack the Dome!

i have a picture from that game when everyone had their towel swinging....it's a priceless shot!!! They did it earlier this season already, so I doubt they'll do it again.. but it would be sweet.
