I'd say mizzou is thriving in the SEC
As one of the older people on here (probably), it drives me nuts when someone blames the students and younger crowd for ISU not having a great home field advantage. Here's an idea for the older crowd...try setting an example if the students upset you so much then get off your butts and cheer for the team yourself. Half of the oldies spend most of the game sitting there ******** about the students, the seats being too uncomfortable, you didn't get the tailgate spot you normally get, it's cold, it's hot, the music sucks, the music is too loud...etc etc etc...
The AD and the FB team should be darn grateful for the support they get, especially given the product that has been on the field the last few years. ( at least this year there has been a glimmer of hope, even though the results have been the same)
Agree...and by all accounts (that I can recall), they are. The AD & FB team know this kind of support doesn't happen at most schools. And nobody feels worse about underperforming or the results on the field in front of the most supportive fans than the coaches, players, and employees in the AD.
Agreed. This loss is 100% on the students.
I'm 35 went out at halftime to have a cold one. Got to the parking lot I decided against the beer because I had no motivation to go back. Left at the start of the third and listened on my two plus hour drive home. Apathetic yes, but watching the first half I had no confidence they were going to come back.
You can expect a group of 18-24 year olds to be a little finicky and not show up. A pretty good percentage of the student tickets are likely freshman, who know very little about football and only bought tickets because they were told to do so.
The fact that much of the other sections looked sparse, is pretty sad. The fan base overwhelmingly wanted a new coach at the end of last year. We got a new coach and we need to support him. He is selling us as a great fan base, we need to act like it. Pretty sad people are giving up 3/4 of the way into year one.

Goes both ways... has new coach given much to be excited about? Starting to worry its just more talk, smoke, and mirrors. Hell new coach has a losing record vs. uni. Be excited folks, ignore what your eyes see.
It's not really year one. It's year 4 of some very bad performances.
Even Cyclone fans have a breaking point. To have that type of crowd for a 1 (ONE) win team is outstanding
1-7, and a total of 7 wins the prior 3 seasons. We have seniors who have seen a combined 8 wins since they arrived on campus, and has seen almost as many losses to FCS teams at home as they have wins against anyone.
When the entire student body has seen nothing but losing, would it be any surprise their enthusiasm drops off?
Facts are REAL hard for some people.
There was this lame guy that was at the game, trolling CW on twitter the ENTIRE game about lame fan support. All game long. Ironic - how could that little boi support the team when she (oops, he) was buried in the phone the whole time? Have a look - clonev96
If your ever looking for BoxerCy at a football game, you'll find him passionately swaying his arms shouting so good so good.Whar the bitchin' about Sweet Caroline? Did they play it? How did the students react? Did the players hear it and quit?
I am probably one of the older members on this site and I do lead by example. If anyone wants to follow suit, I am in Section W and constantly cheering when we are on Defense despite how much it may annoy those around me (and I arrive the night before the game in the RV lots). My point is we have a great group of students at the game (much better than when I was at school) and the opportunity to make it real special if we utilize the strength of having such a large student section by them treating every defensive series on that end of the field as a game breaker. Unfortunately both today and the Baylor game, they get quiet when they need to be the loud crazy group that our players feed off.
When Hilton Magic was born, ISU hadn't made any postseason tournament in forever. ISU hadn't won a Big 8 title ever. Yet the fans got behind the players and Johnny and now look at how our home court is looked at nationally. In Football, with the 3rd largest stadium in the Big 12, we can do the same thing and make people worried about playing in Jack Trice due to the problems our crowd noise creates.
