Martin calls out the Students

[steve dave]

Love attendance threads....LOVE THEM

[bigDcat]

you expect all the students to come to an exhibition game, against washburn, for a team supposed to finish towards the bottom of the big12, during football season? 

[phicat1448]

i honestly think a lot of students forgot about the game and/or were watching the chronicles of narnia at the time

[icatmember]

I think it's funny that when people are upset about attendance turnouts the first place they turn to to fix it is KSU sports message board, because clearly these are the people responsible for any apathy towards K-State sports.

[xxmysteryxx121]

just get people to go to the games, that was embarrassing yesterday. How we can get 45,000+ to a horrible football game but get probably... 5,000 if that to a basketball team that should be pretty good, especially in the north, and definitely better than our football team.

basketball isn't as important.

[Lamesauce]

Actually, Frank nailed this one on the head. Many students have tests, and there also was intramural bowling going on on Sunday during the exhibition game.
The students were spoiled last year. We had beasley and walker, 2 of the most explosive players in the country. Everyone was excited to see them. Who does this year's team have? Pullen--we've all seen him last year. Sutton--same. It's just hard to get excited to watch a game that doesnt count for anything with players we've all seen before.

I thought we were a basketball school now.

[FUKU]

Frank is getting this done quickly. Come on man, it was just Washburn.

K-State Students:

If you weren't in Bramlage Coliseum yesterday, you missed a great start to our 2008-09 season. Jacob Pullen led the team with 21 points in our 81-57 victory over Washburn, and our new guys got their first game as a Wildcat under their belt. Denis Clemente has made an immediate impact on our team scoring 12 points and leading the team with 5 assists.

For those of you who celebrated with us on the court last season when we ended the streak and beat ku, you know what a special place Bramlage Coliseum can be. And of course, the electricity of Bramlage Coliseum would not exist if not for the K-State student body.

When you, the students, have called on me, I have responded every time. Now I am calling on you! We need your help. Order your season tickets before they are made available to the general public. What I'm challenging you to do this year is to make Bramlage Coliseum the toughest arena in the country, night-in and night-out, from the first game until the last.

One way we'll reward the students who support our team throughout the season is through the Sunflower Showdown Sweepstakes. After each home game, two students who attended that game will be drawn at random. They will each be awarded priority seating for themselves and a friend for the ku game on February 14.

This will ensure that our team's biggest supporters are sitting closest to the court, without having to wait in line.

I'm looking forward to another successful K-State Basketball Season. I hope you'll be there along the way, including this Friday, November 14, as we take on Florida A&M in Bramlage at 7PM.

Thank you for supporting us, and GO STATE!

[hemmy]

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?

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?

d00d, our school sucks at reminding us of this sh*t

I woke up on Sunday kinda thinking there was a game, then I looked at my ticket and it said 2:30 I was like WTF

Sundays are not for basketball TBH

[doom]

There are a lot of noncon games on Sundays.  Cal was on Sunday last year.

[FUKU]

I am a student and I was at the game, but in all honesty, the University did a terrible job at letting the more casual student fans know that there was a game on Sunday. There was nothing in the Collegian on Friday talking about the start of basketball season, and in today's Collegian, there wasn't even a hint that we opened the season yesterday. I realize the Collegian sucks, but they didn't even mention that we played a game yesterday.

Hopefully these preferred seats are right in the front of the student section, that way ref-guy, wide-reciever-gloves-guy, hockey-jersey-guy, pudgy-yet-distinguishable-guy, amelia-earhart (lesbian in jumpsuit), and all of their cronies wont be sitting front row.

 

[sys]

they should do more than just 2 students/game on the priority ku deal.  maybe 20.

[michigancat]

Yes.  They're very -y.

Amazing how Triggish both sides of the argument end up looking.

She didn't really play much.  But would have most definitely dominated everyone there with the excellent mobility carharts have to offer.  Anyway, what makes me mad is that I'm just one of the "cronies."  It's lonely being the doomsign guy.
