1. What's it take to get students in the stands these days?
2. Do you see a bump in attendance should the Aggies take on stadium renovations and increase capactiy to say 20,000+ - along with a Mountain West home game schedule? This would take at a minimum 3 to 4 times the student involvement in my opinion to get the stadium marginally full for a game against say Air Force, Wyoming, Hawai'i, Northern Illinois, San Jose State, UNLV, UTEP...New Mexico.

we have to have a big non-student attendance increase since that’s revenue. But, I agree, more students means a better game time atmosphere which, one hopes, rings more paying fans

Ask Darius if anyone had ever list the hidden balls under the three hat game. I contest they win every time because there is a ball (horseshoe?) under all 3 hats!

silent students don't help either. There's nothing a visiting team loves more than a silent student section.

Aggie Pack needs to educate those first years and build the student culture just like the coaches are building the football culture. They will catch the bug the first moment they discover they are impacting the game. Thats when it gets fun!

......I seem to remember for a few years they were doing rallies and teaching/practicing "Aggie Fight" and gameday stuff (It appears that 9/10 Davis 1st years have never been to a college game).
Are they still doing this?

I loved the jersey combos that year. The gray and gold was awesome.

Not quite apples to apples but two of our children attended the University of South Carolina and during freshman orientation the cheerleaders and student leaders taught them the fight song, school traditions, and the Sandstorm tradition (Sandstorm plays and everyone waves the towels that are given when you enter the football stadium). The towels are sponsored by local businesses and have the date and opponent on them. We have a bunch of them which are great for dusting the house or detailing the car.

Our youngest son is attending the University of North Carolina, Greensboro and despite not having a football team (basketball, baseball, and soccer are big there) freshman orientation included the school cheers, fight song, etc.

interesting about UNCG. Our son graduated for there a dozen years ago or so and he never once mentioned fight songs, etc. The school was originally a teachers college - and our son was a physics major so do t think he attended any basketball games. Maybe they have focused on that aspect more recently.

As far as UCD, the band-uh was the place where are the fight songs and yells were inculcated. Not sure all of the traditions have carried through after the rebranding of the band.

I hope Darius sticks around for a long time. We really need guys like him around!

Great episode, good work guys.

Trying to get some preseason content out to the people. Coach Bronzan interview taking place tomorrow. Hope to have some BTS stuff for subs.
