Arizona on State and Starkville…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
I think it’s foreign for that guy…. All in all, living over 3+ hours away from your alma mater can’t be abnormal for the majority of college graduates.
Yeah, the stadium holds two and a half Starkvilles. Got to be a little travel involved.
Although I will say the idea of driving 4 hours each way for every game is hard to fathom to me. I know some people do it, some on this board even live farther away than that and never miss. I just know if I lived in Atlanta or Nashville or something there’s no way I’d be back every game.
If I didn’t know better, I could be talked into believing their coach wears one of those visor/wig combos.
Sounds like the coach complimented the white out and wants that level of participation at Arizona. He clearly does not come here to check the level angst that goes into wearing a white shirt. I saw everything from “by god I’m a man and won’t be told what to wear” to “I look like the marshmallow man in a white shirt”******
Good thing they didn't come during a "stripe out" game. I don't think we've ever gotten that one right.
At the game, the white out was probably at least 90% of the non-Arizona fans. It actually looked pretty good.
I think that's asking a lot of our fans. It's easy to say "wear maroon" or "wear white." But you're asking people to check their ticket for their section, then look up what color that section is supposed to wear. And a lot of people may not even have their ticket, someone else in their group may have it.
I thought it was Gus Malzahn at first glance
I'm more shocked that people DON'T drive from Phoenix to Tuscon for games....that's less than two hours.....that's virtually next door in "out west" terms.
Our best chance of getting near 100% participation in one of these games is a “camo” game the first time weather is projected below 50.
That may be true, if you wear myopic glasses. Common sense (and a little bit of geographic knowledge from middle school) should lead him to the fact that population drives attendance at public events like college football. Mississippi has 1/3 the population of Arizona and most of Mississippi is rural. Add to that fact is that many MSU grads leave the state for job opportunities and are faced with a 2 - 8 hour drive time to campus. Also, the fact that UofA has an on campus enrollment of nearly 40K in an urban center (greater pop of 1M) also keeps attendance high without travel.
