Lots of students

dressed as seat-backs. The west side was pretty full while the student section had 100 or so fans.

Are you serious? Even if 100 is a 1/2 truth that is embarrassing!!!

I didn't actually count, but there weren't many. Perhaps someone else from the game can provide some perspective.

Re: Lots of students

Sitting in the student section I have to say there was at best a third of the normal amount of students there...and a lot left before the start of the second half.

Also, by about halfway through the third quarter, only a spattering of students were still standing. I even got yelled at by a guy two rows behind me for blocking his view.

Not that standing/not standing is that big a deal, but I think it was indicative of how much the students were in the game.

Re: Lots of students

Yeah, not many students today. It was really strange.

Overall though, I was pleasantly surprised by the attendance. I fully expected one of those 8-9K type days, but there was near 12K I believe. Good tailgating atmosphere on a beautiful day again.

Re: Lots of students

Seen more students at 1st round playoff games on Thanksgiving break.

Nobody at the game in the student section, I put the over/under at 200.

You could write a masters degree thesis on the affect that Iowa Hawkeye football has on this states economy and mood. Becks cleared out in 5 minutes after Iowa lost.

I truly think that many people were so depressed after the Iowa game they didn't even bother going to the Dome today.

I wasn't depressed.

That's utterly pathetic.
I don't care if people are "dual fans" and cheer for Iowa as well.
But support your OWN school too. sheesh.

Re: Lots of students

Regardless of the students,
I think our crowds are way too quiet.

Cripes people, it's a football stadium, not a library.
CHEER!

West side between the 30s involves a lot of sitting. We need to figure that out.

I understand you want to sit, but 3rd downs and kickoffs is pretty normal fare for football.

Re: Lots of students

My opinion student attendance was about a third of 'normal' and about 20% of Homecoming.

After the first couple of series, the west side got into it.

I wouldn't mind the sitting, if they at least cheered.

I hate hearing my own echo, even on defensive 3rd downs.

Re: Lots of students

I'd guess this is a big "go home" weekend as many will stay on campus now until Thanksgiving. Still, this was the most pathetic student section I can ever remember, and there have been some bad ones.

I don't know when it happened, but the west side kicks the east sides a-- anymore.

Re: Lots of students

The box score has the official attendance at 11,025. I expected mid 8K, so I'm pleased. But then I have such low expectations of the locals that I get pleasantly surprised.

In the OP at the end of the Iowa game, one group slapped their table in disgust as Iowa lost, another table cheered, and the rest of us shrugged and went back to our food and drink.

Re: Lots of students

This battle with the students is impossible to win. I tried for 4 years, getting lambasted for speaking my mind in public. I'm not there anymore, and the result is still the same. In the end, no one (students) don't care unless Iowa is playing out of state and not on tv.
