Pretty much. We'll see an attendance push, but we wont be spending money on big gimmicks on what will probably be a lightly attended game. Especially if its rainy as the last forecast i saw had.

It's ten days out! Thank God weather never changes
So, guess it's time to start scaring people away. Two weeks out. alarson, I read your posts. Always sensible. Not a time to dis-rally a fan base
I'm not a fan if I think wearing a pair of tighty whities on my head for a football game is the stupidest thing I have ever heard?

We do need to worry about filling seats (and hillsides) first. It's going to be a cold night game so that's 1 bad mark. Next, it is the beginning of Thanksgiving break and most students will be dumb and go home instead of staying one extra night in Ames. For us to look good on TV and gain national exposure we need our stadium to look jam packed like the Iowa game. I want to read on AJ's Twitter that his helmet was rocking from the noise again.
I do like the promotion give away. It always seems to work to bring people in and get people excited for a game against a big dog. Hats, shirts, noise makers, I don't give a **** what it is. Whatever makes our guys excited and our fans loud as hell. It's going to be a cold, windy night in Ames and we saw what happens to the passing game when the winds whip around JTS.

These jersey are just freaking awesome and need to make an appearance in 2011.
:yes:

I loved these last year. Looked good under the lights! Makes us shine.
ISU has done towels on several occasions and is probably the most likely outcome with gold jerseys.

I graduated from ISU, but my underwear never reached my head.
Just playin' here.
I think noisemakers would be great, and compensate for the cold.

I would love to see these jerseys with the gold pants.
We just ordered 300 shirts for a game next week where I work and they were only $2.75 a shirt. Fairly confident it wouldn't cost them $5 per shirt to get 50,000.
I'm just saying, since ive watched ISU football, EVERY game on thanksgiving weekend or the week before has had crappy attendance.
Not about trying to scare anyone, just stating the facts.
Also, we shouldnt be spending any money on any gimmicks. The one example above of like... $250k for something... would you rather have it spent on that one gimmick, or would you rather pay our coaches a little more? (We're getting CPR for a bargain)
This game should need no advertisement. its the number two team in the nation. are fan base should be salivating over the fact that we have a chance to upset a serious national contender. it will be really sad to see if that place is empty next Friday night. if it is empty which wont surprise me it will all but confirm our fan base and why the athletic department has its woes.
We can barely get our students to turn out for games thats also a problem the athletic department should offer a deal for students to stay in ames for an extra night. make it 10 bucks for a student to get in.

I do agree if the AD is paying for it, we shouldn't spend on it. However if we can get some donations for something from some business it's not that big of a deal. Post their company's name on a t-shirt and people will wear it.
Agreed. Pay the coaches.
As earlier in the thread. We have sponsors. Lot's of them. All of them go at risk for an audience, every day. We have the potential to go bowling, where few of us thought possible. So, if you were Pioneer you say no?
I would put my name on it!
This would make no sense to people who have tickets and still don't want to go. Unless they want to give me $10 for going. :smile:
the athletic department runs promotions for unsold tickets all the time. it would be the same thing for student tickets
