OK, you all know that already. I'm at the game and the folks giving away the Memorial Stadium replicas are begging me to take more than one. There only 10K so I'm guessing that by game time that will be about the total attendance.

It's a beautiful day, 1 PM start, against a winnable opponent, the last game of the season, the last Pac12 game ever and yet no one is showing up. I know the product hasn't been great, but for Gods sake if you are even a half hearted fan this is easy to do.

Worst case you sit in the sun and drink a beer.

The kickoff isn't for another 55 minutes. What is the rush?

You think students are showing up an hour early to sit in the sun? Instead of partying ?? LOL

Check back here at the end of the first quarter or early 2nd quarter with attendance report. People should be in their seats by then.

I'm not a big fan of the fanbase, but nearly an hour early is a bit early to start making conclusions.

Also, it wouldnt surprise me if the person giving them away just wants to get rid of them so he/she can go do other things. Low level service workers have gotten incredibly lazy and lethargic about their jobs since the pandemic.

I didnt say poor. I just noticed when I go out to restaurants and bars, or do some retail shopping, the service has gotten noticeably worst.

It's Veterans Day weekend. Lotsa students left town. I had my usual pre-game lunch at Bowles Hall. Usually jammed. Today almost no one.

Your handle implies you're no ball of energy yourself.

Even when I dont like my job, I am still
committed to getting the job done in a timely manner and with a friendly, professional demeanor. That is my expectations of everyone on the job.

It's 1:00 pm and the student section is still empty.

I'm sure it looks great on ESPN2.

Amazing how America can boast of being so damn tough, gun-owing bad-asses. But when it comes to a job, you better be subservient and DO WHAT THAT DAMN BOSS SAYS! Wanna form a union? NO WAY! The boss says shut up and take it! You'll LIKE what we decide to give you.

If ANY workers in the world don't need a lecture on "hard work" and all that crap, it's Americans. Where hard work has been rewarded with lower pay, dismantled pensions, laughable "medical care," fewer rights, less security and reward, higher taxes and a royal screw job.

We're 3-6 with those wins coming against crappy teams. We have the worst coach in the conference, and the guy apparently can't get fired anytime soon. It's a beautiful day in the Bay, and there's plenty of other things for fans to do. I don't blame anyone for skipping out on this game.

Well, has anyone a guesstimate on attendance numbers? From my vantage point, doesn't look too good.

not sure why this was on this thread, but as stupid as the post is, maybe that explains it

Speaking of students…when the mic-woman got on the PA and started the Bear Territory chant - before victory was in hand, before we punted to WSU to give them one more shot, that came perilously close to disaster… I was standing up and screaming. ARE YOU CRAZY?!! HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A FOOTBALL GAME???

I didn't go to the game, because I suck, but the TV coverage made it look like there were a lot of students there, having a good time and not sucking. (If you were looking closely, you could maybe tell that it was a fairly limited number of students that they just kept showing over and over again... like the guy basically w/o muscles, flexing.)

I'm glad it looked good on TV because it sure looked bad in person.

I disagree with that assessment, it did not look particularly good tv.

I thought the west side of the stadium was quite full. I was impressed. The student section was a quarter full and pathetic.

The worst part was the mic-person sang "tell the whole wide world this is bear territory." We can't say "damn"?!?!

I started this thread and for sure the students did not show up. I'm in section T on the aisle adjacent to the students. Card stunts would have been stupid. Also, during the game, at critical moments, students are moving up and down the aisle and on their phones. It's like they have no understanding of the game of football.

Two major fails, the bear territory chant way too soon and the cannon going off before the final play was decided.

I thought the crowds in the late 80s were weak, but it look like a spattering of light melting snow around the stadium.

Fans of what? there's nothing to be a fan of. The 20K left each November are us cursed few who can't or won't quit and students who haven't figured it out its not getting better or have literally nothing better to do
