Poll: Will you?

I'm on the fence, I'm not a huge football fan and don't really watch NFL or CFB outside of ISU games. We are in corner balcony so all the mini packs and end of year tickets pretty much going for free from people giving them away, there is not much incentive. No Iowa on the schedule next year either.
No, but only because I live in TN. If I lived in Iowa I definitely would. There is nothing like the experience of being at Jack Trice.
I don't have season tickets. Haven't been down to a game for a few years. It's just to big a commitment of time in the fall from this distance. Trading a nice fall weekend for a road trip and bad football just isn't worth it. I've never been a big tailgater and that's 90% of ISU football. It's easier and easier to not go to the game especially since they are all on TV or at a gamewatch here if I feel like socializing.
Question for me is, do I still send them the donation check? I don't see myself not donating but I might look over the boxes to see how I can direct my donations. Don't recall may options when giving to the athletic department. If they had the option I'd probably pick sending to volleyball, cross country and some of the other "lesser" sports.

Downgraded our tickets this year to lower our investment. Unfortunately we can't downgrade them again or I would in a heartbeat.
If Pollard pulls some garbage about charging more for next year's tickets because we add a home game then I will be tempted to drop them and scalp all year.

Don't know why people like wasting so much time at this point for every game. I guess I admire them. I just get tired and bored of what I keep seeing, and also the result is way too predictable each week. If Paul is here next year I think 1 game early on would be enough for me just to get my fix.
Yes, I will continue to buy season tickets and support the team, even if I'm frustrated with the 10 yard cushion defense (every game) and lack of imagination in NOT going for it on 4th and 1 from the 48 yard line (Iowa game).
You're not a "loyal son, forever true" if you don't go to the games just because you're mad there wasn't a coaching change. You're a fair-weather fan. Being an Iowa Stater is more than just cheering on the football team when they are good. Just enjoy the fall Saturdays tailgating and hanging out with friends / family.

Yes. I would still buy season tickets next year if CPR is fired and Courtney Messingham and Barney Cotton were named Co-Head Coaches.
Keep supporting your 0'fer seasons Loyal Son!
I did not renew my tickets this year. I was fed up watching a team get its head kicked in and hearing the excuses of this coaching staff. So much talent on this team, and maybe that’s being a homer, but these coaches do not get how to run a successful team. I still go to one or two games a year, just to get my hopes up to be let down. But the only way I know, as a common man and not some millionaire booster, to send a message to this AD that I am fed up with the results is to not buy season tickets.
I've found I have a lot better time grilling out with the family, kids and friends in the backyard with how trashy these games are. In fact I bought a smoker with the money I would have spent on tickets (x2). When Iowa State plays as garbage as this, I just change the channel or go outside and throw the pigskin around and polish off a few ice cold Budweisers from the cooler. I’ll stick to this until something changes. I don’t feel any less forever true because of this.
A better question would be who would buy tickets that didn't previously buy tickets if we had a new coach?
This boy gets it. He's more of a fan than those who say they will buy tickets no matter what. He doesn't enable Jamie to keep a guy that simply should not be d-1a head coach.
Not sure yet, too many variables at this point. Right now I go up and meet my two kids who are students. One or both may be in CO-OPs next fall so I'm not sure. If my kids are there, I will buy.
