PSU vs. UCLA. half student section empty midway thru 3rd. Saw it

w/my own eyes, in person. For us I get it to some degree - students have seen nothing but mediocre football for like 2-3 student cohorts coming through. It's a bigger thing tho - students have so much going one elsewise, and attention spans are meh.

In olden times, the students would stagger over halfway through…

Halftime **

Wasn't just the students.

Some got a learning experience
FunkyHokie • 10/18/24 08:27 PM ET
And it wasn’t that cold AT ALL. Very little if any wind. I had on a LS tee
hokiepro • 10/18/24 05:47 PM ET
I really don’t get it. Spend all that $$ and time and you
hokiepro • 10/18/24 05:40 PM ET
it's not their money- ..they are students**
bigbadbird • 10/19/24 08:46 AM ET
It’s baffling. I don’t get it either
Zanderhokie • 10/19/24 12:41 AM ET
DING DING. Most strange to me
hokiepro • 10/19/24 05:37 AM ET
The challenge is we aren’t alone. Seeing it at even powerhouse programs

bigbadbird • 10/18/24 01:23 PM ET
And you can walk into Lane so easily today w/ mini bottles**

Happening at every school. LSU, PSU - saw both, PSU in person
HokieDon • 10/18/24 07:58 PM ET
They're students. They don't care.
Beerman • 10/18/24 04:06 PM ET
I’ll say the ones who get there 1 hr early in the lower part of the NEZ
hokiepro • 10/18/24 05:43 PM ET
It's not happening just at VT
HokiesACC2004 • 10/18/24 03:20 PM ET
If we beat GT and Cuse and the students leave the Clemson game early...
Zanderhokie • 10/18/24 03:07 PM ET
I earned a ChE degree at VT
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/18/24 02:40 PM ET
Yeah! That's it. They went back to study! All those early
hines495 • 10/18/24 03:24 PM ET
Its a weeknight at an engineering school. You saw 1,500 out of 31,000 and
RLFDHokie • 10/18/24 03:43 PM ET
There’s way more than 1,500 student seats **
hokiepro • 10/18/24 07:25 PM ET
He's only talking about the attendees.
TomTurkey • 10/18/24 04:38 PM ET
Huh? What statistical inference?**
hines495 • 10/18/24 03:49 PM ET
Students are students

My wife had an exam at 8:00am after the Matt Ryan game
hoosnowahokie • 10/18/24 03:35 PM ET
They need to figure out how to reward students that stay
Seikoh_04 • 10/18/24 01:13 PM ET
They give free bacon at bball games, they should be able to …
Hardcore_Hokie • 10/18/24 03:54 PM ET
I have some former students at Auburn this year.
twampman • 10/18/24 01:34 PM ET
Sounds like a good plan
Hockeydad • 10/18/24 02:01 PM ET
Well then, that idea is DOA.**
saret • 10/18/24 02:50 PM ET
free t-shirts after the game should do the trick**
kingofcassell • 10/18/24 01:29 PM ET
Or free beer/pizza/etc.**
RJHokie • 10/18/24 01:49 PM ET
FB/BB had no competition except pizza/beer in our day
TomTurkey • 10/18/24 12:59 PM ET
It could be worse.
RJHokie • 10/18/24 12:47 PM ET
True. At least our students show up for the 1st and 2nd quarter. **
Zanderhokie • 10/18/24 03:08 PM ET
before half time**
VTStylez9 • 10/18/24 12:39 PM ET
Thanks - ugh!**
TomTurkey • 10/18/24 12:44 PM ET
Depends on the student**

The mass migration about which the boards complained**
