Most, not all, students I have encountered, well at least the last two times I went down to the student section, aren't there to raise hell.
There's nothing worse than going to a game and being the only hell raiser in your section.
Will not be cheaper but they will be in the student section.
I am a student here and will warn you: You will not have a good time sitting in the student section wearing your Bama gear.
You will get drinks, petro's and nacho cheese thrown at you
Honestly, 90 bucks for all the home games isn't much. Neither is 15 bucks to watch an underdog but scrappy Tennessee team take on hated rival #2 Bama. And let's keep in mind that while there MAY be 1,500 or so student tickets not sold, there are certainly about 10,000 that ARE sold and picked up. Perspective.
What's the point of a boycott if you've already paid for the tickets? Hamilton still has the money. Or do all the people who bought tickets at the beginning of the year still show up, and the boycott is made up of students who would have to pay for tickets per game?
The students don't fill their alloted space with regularity for basketball.I think the simple fact of the matter is this -- As a whole, the UT students are all inspired by Bruce Pearl and the emergence of the basketball team and have gotten a taste of what it feels like to be excited for something. With football, there is nothing to be excited about. Students see articles in the Beacon and KNS about Fulmer and his raises and the next day find out tickets are no longer free. Therefore they equate the tickets as a way to pay for Fulmer's salary and, quite frankly, students are sick of his brand of boring football.
If we get blown out by Alabama this week and Fulmer is fired, I guarantee you student attendance would pick up for the next home game, even if it is Wyoming.
The students should be happy that they gave them the option of paying for tickets instead of nickel and diming them in tuition dollars that they will never find out about.
