Are people like stallion really this shocked with the fan base? I mean I go to every game but every game since after ASU debacle has been a kick in the nuts. Losing to Tulane and rice... Playing terrible teams that we should trounce, losing to P5 teams so badly that people wonder why it's fair for AM to beat up on a high school team. I mean even the new but veteran fans (3+ seasons) are just tired going into the workplace hearing "well maybe you guys should go to DIV2 and have a chance to be a top team." It's degrading to say the least when your team doesn't appear ready for the game, they can't recruit year after year, and there's no change in sight yo get rid of a traitor coach... So yeah it's not surprising and totally understandable why no one comes to our games or stays after half time.

This is the first year in over a decade that I did not purchase 4 season tickets. I had planned to buy them at the ticket window today because I wanted to see how the weather was. It was just my son and I this time and I ended up buying 2 tickets for $15 each in sec 203 from a passerby looking to get rid of 2 extra tickets. We ended up sitting high up in 204 and really enjoyed the view (our normal seats had been row 6 in sec 106). Me and everyone else in close by sections did our best Neil Peart impression, banging on everything we could every time Rutgers had the ball in the OT periods. Entertaining game. Disappointing result.

Section 203 was doing our best Neil Peart impression too.

You don't know what a kick in the nuts is-we've gone to a bowl 4 straight years.

Bowls don't mean chit...they're orange slices for .500 teams. I want to win a game or two that matters to people other than SMU fans.

I will admit I was very close to leaving but stuck it out - pretty loud in 104

I am sorry but I announced my flight schedule ahead of time and told the team to get a 2 TD late in the fourth and instead they chose to fall behind 2 late in the fourth. Believe me I wanted to be there.

I will say this. I have done the same day up and back by plane 3 times. First time was perfect. Second time was the weather delayed Houston game and third was today. I will not do it again. I either spend the night or drive so I can be on my schedule.

Boring [deleted] bowls... The first one sure was great and throw in the bbva bowl against a team that lost their coach and didn't care to be there. So in reality it was 2 mediocre bowls woo hoo.... We hit the ceiling!!! C'mon its nut kicking watching us get smacked around by teams that matter and then c'mon to these forums and see people blaming fans and supporting a doofus of a coach and cheering for pointless things like blue jerseys...

I'm not ashamed that I left. Nothing this team has done in the past made me think they could recover from being down three touchdowns. Now, they've proven that they can. Next time, I'll stay.

See, that's how it works. You actually DO something, then you change the way people think.

We may not agree on politics but I sure as hell agree with that. I'll still be pissed if we go down 21-0 in like the first quarter

Some fans started leaving when we lost the ball in the end zone to give them a defensive TD, and we weren't even 10 minutes into it. Some that were close to us we could hear grumbling about how bad the team is. Maybe so, but really, that quickly they gave up?

Orange slices and kicks in the nuts are two very different things. Not saying orange slices are great, but there is a big difference between the two.

And props to the few students that ran down to the Rutgers side in OT and started cheering the Ponies where the action was!

We looked up during OT and were shocked how empty the student section was - then we saw a good number of them down near the end zone.

Good on them!

Yeah I agree that made me want to give up and I don't think people should leave but once it was the half I was like these clown didn't show up to another game so I understand when people left at the half cause nobody wants to witness a slaughter
