Mediocre ? Heck, we haven’t even been mediocre most of the last 15 years. Who are you pissed at ? You should never judge others on how they spend their money and time.Encourage friends to attend
Talk to co workers who like sports
Engage neighbors who are looking for an affordable & close option
I’m not yelling at anyone. Those on this board are the fringe 1 % who attend games and donate $
If you think my post is embarrassing, I don’t know what to tell you.
The whole “there’s other things to do arguement” is bs - take the amount of purple living 50 miles from New Brunswick vs Iowa, Nebby etc and your point goes right out the window
I understand game watching habits have changed. Team has sucked for the past 10 years. Wagner is FCS. HS fb and kids activities on Saturdays. I get all that bc it’s true
But what I don’t get is how we can’t get 40k in the stadium, in a state w 9mil, in the tri state w ~20 mil, with NB undergrad population ~30k, 500k living alumni, $10 Tix galore, good weather, winnable game, team doing good, etc
That’s not a big ask. That should be the expectation.
If the program was destined to perennially be an afterthought (Indiana, Maryland, NW) in bball first schools not surrounded by big cities or not being flagship U, and not having NYC close by, I’d be ok w mediocrity
But we have the potential to be so much more. I truly believe that - so it upsets me, and pisses me off, when we accept mediocrity and make excuses
Be pissed at the university for lousy HC hires and an 8 yr anchor contract we can’t afford to pull out of the muck.
