Martin calls out the Students

[power4PURPLE]

In post game press conference, Martin mentioned he was displeased with the turnout from the students.
When asked if he thought there was any explanation to the poor showing Coach said...
"I don't know why. You'd have to ask them.....I dunno, maybe there was a big mid-term you know?.....Maybe there was a big bowling thing in town or something....I don't know."
 
      

Besides the fact that Frank Martin is hilarious, I think he's got a point. 2:30 on a cold Sunday afternoon?? If student tickets went so fast, what else were they busy doing?

good to hear.  martin has been far too kind with ksu's idiotic fan base so far.

[doom]

Well we showed up to games last year.  I wasn't there, but my seats were full.

[fatty fat fat]

tell him to go f*ck himself. JFC.

[chum1]

How awesome is Frank at his job?  Makes Prince look thoroughly incompetent.

are you on your period?
Just saying he does have a right to be a little pissed even if it is an exhibition.

[Xbring_on_the_catsX]

I was there!

And pretty mad at the crappy turnout.

Other than winning, keeping a solid staff, and recruiting there really isn't much difference. 

[catsdo]

Terrible turnout today all around.

[Paul11]

Yeah, well the people paying for their seats were not there either. Martin is the man and all. I can't disagree with the man. The fan base that was there did not brig the A game. Let's just regroup and get it back together.

[Skydog]

Funny that he said something about bowling... intramural bowling was at the same time as the game. 

[hemmy]

People at the game were mad there were so many fouls because they wanted to get back to watch the Chiefs game.....the Chiefs!

[SUPERKSUFAN]

Where were the doom signs yesterday?  Saving for Conference games?

[doom]

Omaha 

[pwrcat1]

The students kept trickling in until about the ten minute mark of the first half, and the ones that were stayed for the entire game.  Not a great turnout but it was Washburn.  The excessive foul calling and the fact that Brown played made it a terrible game to watch. Either way, I think they'll show up in full force this weekend.

I think this pretty much confirms that this is the worst students we've had in about 20 years.  Football is somewhat understandable but pre-season hoops?

Even if we suck it's an opportunity to get a great seat to watch D1 basketball, at a cheap price.  I mean, seriously, who the hell wouldn't jump at that chance? It baffles me that any basketball fan wouldn't wanna be there for those facts alone.  Being there to watch us beat the hawks was one of the greatest experiences of my life, but like I said above, I think it will fill up next game... Even though the turn out should have been better yesterday.  I mean god damn people, we live in Manhattan Kansas!!!11!!!  Even if you hate basketball wtf else is there to do on a cold Sunday afternoon?!?!? 

[mrfreddio55]

Yesterday's turnout was no different than the last two or three years' turnout for the exhibition games. Everyone complains about the low attendance every year about this time too.

 

[ksu1420]

The crowd was similar to a conference game 5 years ago

[ksu_FAN]

We have the same issue every year and we likely always wil.  K-State fans have proven for years that they will be "wait and see" fans when it comes to hoops.  Huggs and Beasley/Walker brought fans, but I'm not surprised to see a large part of our fan base go back to that mode.  We should be able to get a better base than under Wooly/Asbury, but I doubt we'll see the 12K average home attendance we've seen the last couple years.  I think an average of 10K plus would be a pretty good goal this year.

Jack captain douche Harry said last night after the clip that "Frank better watch out or else the fan base will turn on you just like they did Prince."

Only exception-Frank is a basa$$.

Students suck bad now fwiw.

[ksu_FAN]

$30 per for this poor OOC isn't going to help.

Yes - good lord, that is unacceptable.

and not black.

[catzacker]

i will never understand KSU's pricing structures for MBBall and FB.  They'd rather sell one $30 ticket than 3 $10 tickets.    

[Pete]

I could fix this student turnout thing in like a week, merely by revamping the halftime entertainment.  Should be exclusively focused on entertaining the students.

[catsdo]

I love how the Alumni sections were empty as well, but coach Martin doesn't care enough to call them out because he understands that they sit the whole time and don't do s*** for the atmosphere.
