AztecPadre Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 That's hella weak if a coach has to tell fans to come. I honestly thought bama would not be a team that had to do this. I say the student sections should be first come first serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AztecPadre Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 At first I thought the same thing. Stop scheduling like colcuts and you won't have this problem. But, at the same time, if I was a student there I would never miss a home game. The season is only so long and only so many games are at home. I would take full advantage of my 8 years at bama. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not LSU not A&M hell not even Tennessee (Although I'm not sure there's much difference between ULL and Tennessee at this point...)... Point is do you really expect a big turnout for something like this... And don't compare College and HS different ball games entirely... Each one has there own scheduling complications... Because if we're gonna start doing that then California in some Deep deep shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Fans get complacent when you win alot. It has happened at Colquitt. The reserve section sits on their hands most of the night these days. They start leaving well before the game is over. They don't travel like they used to... Etc. Etc I like what the coach said. He's right. Fans get complacent when you stay on top for a long time. They don't realize that the fans are a part of the game and are important to the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lately theres one less home game as they open up with the neutral site game. So that leaves 5 games at home. How do u not come to all 5 games. Also it was parents weekend. It should have been packed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxchoboian Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Glad to see the long-snapper tweeting about it. I used to love to go to home games in college -- win or lose -- and in most cases paying particular attention to the play of the long-snapper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blew his knee out I believe but he was unstoppable until he got hurt. I was near the Georgia student section 8pm game. I was on campus by 10am. Greatest day ever. Southern hospitality was amazing as always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
