whatever it is....it is pathetic. Small arena. half full on Big Monday. They did nothing but help us and hurt recruiting.
They come to Ames and they will get beat by 10 points alone by the crowd.

I think OSU & OU attendance for basketball is greatly hurt by the OKC Thunder. When you've got a NBA team within 90 miles of your campus....and their a good NBA team, $$$ people are going with the Pro's.That crowd tonight at OSU was basically students & the Stillwater locals.

Thunder was on TV tonight and Durant from texas had a big game.

Hope we fill the seats for TCU game. I loose my virginity to Hilton Saturday. I make the trek to Mecca (Ames) to pay tribute to our Lord 3sus of Nazareth.

LOL a state of 4 million can't fill a 13,000 seat arena because there's a pro game (17,000 cap) going on 75 miles away? 4,000,000- 13,000+17,000 hmmmm.

This is why it is good Des Moines isn't large enough to support an NBA franchise.

Always proud of our fans, one of the best fan bases in the country!

 

[ISUFan22]

Iowa State always seems to have room to rip on other teams for poor fan attendance. It's like our calling card now as fans.

We eat our own too. Damn lame student section.

It divides people's time and interest. Fans get caught up in a successful NBA team....stop following college team. Not too hard to believe IMO>

I am in Stillwater a couple times a year and Oklahoma is definitely Thunder crazy right now.

Plus us as I said earlier with the threat of ice and snow the OKC and Tulsa crowd didn't venture to Stillwater tonight.

That's a cop out. A top 25 match up on Big Monday and its Eddie Sutton night and the fans don't show up, come on. If there was pro team in DSM people would still show up in Ames to watch games. In about every Big 10 state there is a pro team and those fans show up.

I was surprised how many no shows there were...What was old arena like? Didn't it only hold like 7,000 and that is why they expanded it? The place is still loud, but imagine what it would be like if it were sold out?

BTW it was Eddie Sutton Night and less than half were in the seats..That was sad...Eddie looked really old..he was one foot in the grave, one foot in the arena.[/QUOTE]

I was stunned and even a bit saddened at how old and frail he looked tonight. I would be surprised if he is still around in a couple of years from now. I hope he's not in too much pain.

Dance marathon, no doubt.

When I opened this thread I took a mental guess of how many replies before we saw what I was thinking. I guessed 5 and was disappointed when I saw #6 on your post. Then I realized that post #6 is the fifth reply.

Yay, me!

At times I wish the Big 12 to cared more about basketball, but then again, as long as they are not totally dead like CU back in the 2000's, it is probably to ISU's benefit.
