Its the same thing at any school. Half the people that come to football games are serious, dedicated football fans. The other half just come because it is a social event. The student section never really showed up. Those sorority girls are not going to sit in the rain in their little dresses and trendy cowboy boots, and many take their boy friends with them if they want to get laid. Many wives and kids stay at home in bad weather. Elderly fans leave early because they are miserable wet. Company client tickets go unused. And I think many people looked at the radar and expected another lightning delay game. Nobody, I mean nobody, wants to sit in the rain with no team on the field. It happens.
Probably won't happen, but they could move it back to early spring and give the turf more time to mature.
Your post reminded me of going to the Superdome when it first opened for Saints games. We had season tickets for many years and most of the crowds at Tulane Stadium we around 70% male. And it was loud as hell. The first Saints game we went to I was shocked at how many women were at the game and how dressed up they were, you would have thought they were going to a ball. And the crowd noise wasn't near as loud as it was at the old stadium. Part of that was because they didn't have near enough ladies restrooms which meant most of the women missed about an entire quarter while they were in line to pee. But moving to the Dome actually created a great female fan base for the Saints as those women learned football and have become fanatics.
The sorority girls still think it's 1955 and go to the games all dressed up. Please...a football game is for jeans, gym shoes, and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. One of my cousin's daughters was in an LSU sorority recently ('11-'14.) She had been born in New Orleans, but they moved to Phoenix when she was in 4th grade, living there until she graduated from high school out there (she dated Ken Whisenhut's son during their NFC championship season.) She rushed her mom's LSU sorority and got in, but she was always getting into trouble for going against "dress code" for football games. She would wear the cute dresses (which she said was silly enough), but she is 5'10" and refused to wear heals to walk from sorority row to Tiger Stadium. She would wear flip-flops instead, and got lots of demerits. She said the girls in Arizona would laugh at how stupid the southern sorority dress codes are.
Also, add to the ugly--that disgusting, porn-star 'stache wearing WKU QB. He was so gross...right down to those skinny arms with the tats. And did anyone else love how he acted like Jackson had injured his skinny little arm on the strip and fumble recovery, but his ass was right back out there on the next play? I was not a fan.
yes hes kaepernick jr. i thought he had a dislocated shoulder on the honeybadger play. shouldnt he have had to sit out a play since it wasnt change of possession due to the penalty.
I was wondering the same thing because he left with field with his faux injury. I'm assuming he played injured, so that it would make his emasculation at the hands of a freshman look more justified. How awesome would it be to see Jackson do that shit to Coker in a couple of weeks?
