If anyone should be apologizing it's the athletic department for only paying our head coach $3 million per year.

I thought family members stood by one another no matter what trials and triumphs we went through

Real life family, yes. Pretend sports team family, only triumphs.

I bet these people's real family can't stand them so that's why they are so obsessed with "fake sports family"

It's really the donors who should apologize for not giving enough money. This one's squarely on Carl and Mary.

If you follow the 16 goals (as I do) then you left at halftime or before. Goal #11 is Don't Accept Losing and anyone who stayed until the end would be in violation of that goal. Sorry Cindy and Richard that you only follow the 16 goals when it is convenient for you, some of us actually live by them.

I pay good damn money to watch a football competition. Our team did not compete, thus I left. if our team would have been competing, I would have stayed. Left mid 3rd qtr but it was obvious our team quit, so I quit watching. That article is not worth the paper it is printed on.

That is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. It is exactly because Snyder built this program into a winner that fans have high expectations. No one should blame anyone for leaving early when the team competes like they did last Saturday.

Especially since we have a bunch of hayseeds that, come watch us play, from hours away.

I will apologize for my misbehavior when I misbehave. Choosing how long to stay at an event, or to even attend one at all, is my decision. No one should expect me to give a certain amount of time to any activity unless it is a personal commitment. Ridiculous. Now had the fans stayed and thrown things on the field, an apology would be in order. Leaving a venue for whatever reason does not necessitate an apology. Just my two cents...and I am glad I wasn't able to make it to the game Saturday. Maybe I should apologize for turning the radio off in the middle of the first half.

This is the kind of attitude that breeds mediocrity. And this #family crap gets taken too far sometimes. Sure families support each other but they also fight a lot, too. When your brother does something shitty, you don't say "Well, we're family, I support you bro!" No, you say "hey dumb crap, quit doing stupid stuff, you're making this family look bad."

I think I made it to like 5 minutes left in the game before leaving.

My money shows I support the team.
I expect at least a mediocre performance when I go to games.
By the end of the first quarter; this game started to reek of old school 'Cats awfulness.

The second we start staying to the end of blowouts, cheering awfulness, and showing up for mediocrity or worse, is the second we become Iowa State.

I really want to comment on that article, but you have to have a subscription to do so and I want the Mercury to burn down for posting crap like that, so it's a lose-lose situation here.

I'd rather just burn a couch or two, like our coal aggie brothers do (or used to do).

Its just sad when people have a kids/middle school sports philosophy for big time college sports. I mean, the coaching staff at K-State is collectively making nearly $6 million. That's a crazy number and fans should have expectations that match the investment K-State has made in this football program. This loser mentality from some of our fans is simply amazing.

Are most of the comments on the Mercury page positive or negative regarding the article?

i generally try to stay the whole game, but there was absolutely no reason for me to go back into the stadium for saturday's second half.
