Joe Pa put in subs and we scored late. Nebraska ran up the score until the very end, and passed PSU for #1. The rest is history. We had a great time but better time after. First time I ever had to bail a friend out of jail. A friend bails you out of jail, your best friend is sitting next to you waiting for a friend to bail you both out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drug a suitcase with 3-30 packs of Bud Dry up 11 floors at Briscoe that day. One leaked, and I had to explain to mom why some homeless guy spilled beer on my new suitcase. Memories.

I’m of the mindset that the fans can do whatever they want but I do wonder what recruits think when they look up at the stands when the place is 75% empty, in the second half, on a nice day. Hopefully wins will turn around the desire of fans to attend and stay. In the meantime things are going in a positive direction. it's a bad look and the weather is just another excuse for fans who are bored to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the number is, but it has to be sustained in order to generate the level of interest/excitement to make folks come to games and want to stay until the end. Just my humble opinion. Whether it happens in my lifetime is another story! the fans didn't need that at purdue. just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be partially why perhaps. I don't know the answer, obviously. Why do you think people don't attend? What do you think has to happen in order for the situation to change?

Same with Natural Ice. That stuff was 5.7%, I believe. First party we served that when it came out, we had DJ Shawn D. Nobody knew what hit them. Best. Party. Ever.
