So This Is How It's Going To Be

in Marquette Game Recaps

PrintFriday night against Mt. St. Mary's was a great turnout by the student section. So of course, I figured that with Marquette ascending into the top 20 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, the student turnout would be outstanding again against Norfolk State last night.
WRONG.
There's the student section just after tipoff.
Ok, y'know what? It's a school day, I'm willing to believe that people had class until after 5, went home to drop off their backpack and then came to the game. So let's look at the difference just before halftime.
*sigh*
No home game for two weeks and you're just wasting one of 16 home games by a top 25 team? THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
We'll see you in two weeks after the Jacksonville game. I trust you will improve your performance.

as well as a general monday game against nobody state
vs. the friday night season opener.
I am so very over bitching about the student section against cupcakes.

I see your point
But not rounding up the 1000 or so that are needed to fill the lower bowl is ridiculous.

I'm willing to listen to that argument for the rest of the attendance
But 3/4 of the students aren’t from Wisconsin.

The crowd as a whole was unimpressive
Early games seem to really hamper turnout. As do simultaneous Packer games.

I suspect
that Marquette got forced into this date because of being forced to partner with Norfolk State for a pre-Paradise Jam game.
Once they had to play on the same day as the Packers, the only choice was to go to 6pm.

Sheeesh I understand that its nice to have a full student section
But….this game was crap, it wasnt really important anyway and watching it on the TV I could see a large number of empty seats even for the season ticket holders.
Point is, most students dont go on monday because this is a busy week with tests and stuff to finish before thanksgiving break.
