Crowds have sucked this year.

[mufansince72]

Students and fans should be upset with lack of support for this top twenty team.  Barely 10 thousand tonight.  Lame

[wadesworld]

Not all of us have been born since '72...sorry, you're a better fan than me.

In all seriousness, chances are if the people that post on/read this board have the opportunity to go to games (tickets are available to them and they don't have other commitments and are in town), they are there.  If you're a big enough fan to read and post on a fan forum, you probably go to the games when you can.

The student section sucks and has sucked for the last 4 years.  It's not changing anytime soon.

Really. Not like the Bucks are exactly tearing it up. Geez Louise.

[mufansince72]

You would have to pay me to go to a Bucks game, that is just awful to watch.  We are talking about a talented top 20 team though.  You would think you could get more than 10,000, of which maybe 1500 were students, to a conference game.

I thought the crowd for the Louisville game was the best of the year.  I agree though, the student section has been oddly thin this year in particular.

Student section has been fine. Wealthy seats were hurting tonight.

Bullshit - Maybe 10 students in the 400 level.  Lower bowl was 95% full.  Maybe 1000 total up top.

South Florida on a tuesday. its always empty.

As a freshman, I've been going to these games since roughly 2002. The student section, while sized decently, doesn't cheer enough. My friends and I get to the BC around 3 hours before each game to get the best possible seats, in addition to almost losing our voices and the end of each game. Our cheers are unsynchronized and so many students do not cheer or get into the game. However, don't give the few of us dedicated students a bad rap for the entire section.

Student section filled up 30% of the 400 by halftime, decent showing for USF.

Baselines were scare up top, maybe 90% full in the lower bowl. My row in 206 was 4 out 13 or so.

You know that MU is playing well when this thread appears.

Someone paint this young man a mural!

No one cares though.

Sick seats bro!  Nice way to let us all know you donate enough to get lower bowl seats!  Haha just kidding.

You're awesome.

Agreed.

Firstly, it's a 7:00pm game against a traditionally subpar opponent on a Tuesday, everybody needs to adjust their expectations accordingly. However:

I agree with most of this, although I don't think the students are entirely to blame. 3 out of 4 cheers are uninteresting, unoriginal, or downright embarrassing. "Defense, Defense, Defense Get Some (or maybe it's "Let's Go", nobody seems to even know)!" Are you serious? Nobody is going to join in with a cheer like that.

I thought I went to school a long time.  Brother, is that you?

Outside of Syracuse, the Big East just isn't very good this year.  And the sexual assaults have impacted the way both students and fans view some MU players.

And even though we all hate Crean, he was tireless when it came to PR for MU bball.  He was on an ego trip, but he did connect with the student body.

And people put these game-protesting thoughts away when we play on Saturdays at the BC?  (ie near sell-outs for Pitt, Cincy, Gtown)

Talk about a slippery slope..........

It's a Tuesday vs USF.  Sure we all wish the crowd would be better, but it is what it is.


Edit... I meant Tuesday, not Wednesday.  Same thing.

[4everwarriors]

Gametime should only be at 2:30 pm on Mondays.

Crowd wasn't that good for Pitt, plenty of empty seats. 

[Tugg Speedman]

Did we have more than 650 students at the game?  If so, the student section is better than Duke!

[avid1010]

many of the games have been poorly attended and those in attendance have not been loud.  i've never posted on this topic before, but i am a bit surprised this year.  not sure if i'm correct in my comparison year-over-year, and the packer, etc. have played a role at times, but still pretty poor imho.  i watched a group of about 30 kids from a youth group or inner-city school walk right past my seats to some upper level crap seats, all with big smiles on their faces.  if you're not going to use the tickets drop them off at a school, church, youth organization, etc. 

also believe i saw an obama big head with huge lips?  not too sure because of the distance, but if the case, the racial undertones of something like that is pretty poor.  approve or disapprove of the guy, doesn't make the school/student section look good, and if a recruit is in the house...probably not going to help.  hoping i just couldn't see it well enough, but i did notice a BC employee walk up and tell them to put their big heads away. 

was awesome to see jimmy butler back in the BC...as always a class act doing a ton of pics and autographs.
