Student seats for Football recruits
- Thread starter RU-Choppin-Ohio
- Start date
I knew this would be brought up, because the section set aside was even bigger than in the past
I kept track of the student section filling in as game time approached
there were available seats right up till one or two minutes before tipoff. The seats behind the band were available the longest
and probably could have taken more
If a student really wants to sit in the student section, they should just try to get there at a decent amount of time before the start.
The real question is, were there students who could not get in because of the football section ?

Theres really no other choice. Where else would we put recruits at a game like this? I
Lol - I used to get this complaint sometimes, but no longer after today. Will get into it more tomorrow if warranted but heading to bed after a great day.
If the reserved section is rectangular and not tapered couldn't more students squeeze in? 😉
That’s ok , there were tons of recruits with family members there enjoying the great atmosphere. its important to continue recruiting and building something at RU. The RAC was super loud and by the end of the game the recruits were cheering us on . All good.
All I want from football program at this point is for them not to embarrass me in front of the basketball program.
Good point. The students are still underwhelming in my opinion. You know how I know? They are not the focal point with respect to the crowd. They do nothing to make you turn your head. I don’t get it.
Huh? Our student section has been phenomenal
Whatchoo want them to do? Start setting the bleachers on fire?!?!!
It wasn’t the FULL SECTION, it was tge lower third. MAYBE half. Students were behind them standing and cheering. Most recruits did nothing as usual.
When you are on an official visit as a recruit for one sport and are attending another sports game, you should always actively root for the home team.
Yet another thing to complain about after the place was rocking, we won, got a 5 star bball recruit and a 4 star football recruit.

Agree some of our fans are just negative bitch machines even though positive things are happening.
The RAC was rocking. I could see complaining if the environment sucked but it was electric
Football pays the bills
We’re in the B1G bc of football
I don’t like it, but it’s part of doing business

People just need to bitch about anything , they don’t like when good things happen to RU.
I think the bitching you’re seeing is people pissed off at schiano for what he’s done . Until he wins, every move he makes will be criticized.
Eh, they were in their seats before tipoff and didnt leave early so I'm ok with it. If students want to come that bad, more would have come to the last couple games (and yes I know it was break)
So Schiano brings a ton of recruits to a great B ball atmosphere to help bolster his roster over the next couple of years and you post that he should be criticized for it because he hasn’t won enough? Do see how dumb this sounds ? This should be in the “irony” thread. Can’t make up this type of stupid.
I didn’t post that nor did I criticize schiano . Maybe try to read what I post instead of reading on a 3rd grade level.
We won the game and the RAC was rocking.
And after Got ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY to commit.
It would be hard to believe that this wasn't a positive for football recruiting in that environment.
Bill Belichick sums it up best.

I have no problem with this. The programs need to work together. This has been going on forever and the complaining has been going on forever.
Having been in this situation- both on OV's -being either at the football game or a basketball game- We always cheered on the home team that had us on an OV. Just kind of thought that is the right thing to do.
But as our son finally committed and was playing- it always grated my ass to see these recruits come in and sit with their asses on their hands. Even worse- many parents/family/friends of kids on the team continued to do the same f-ing thing even after here. Only time their groups would cheer if ONLY their son did something.
The picture provided by OP- obvious well before the game- did that section fill up with recruits and players or did it stay empty? I know when we were doing visits- your day is packed full and I believe both at RU and at GaTech- recruits and families didn't get to seats until just after tipoff
They came in right before the team hit the lay up line. It was full and the building was plenty loud enough.
Omg stfu with this complaint!!!
It doesn’t matter at all.
What are supposed to do, not show football recruits how crazy our student section is.
Seriously, stop with this complaint. It’s getting childish

I pretty much thought this was the answer- I watched the game on TV and didn't see an empty seat anywhere.
And with this being a game while students are on break and every seat filled, we are doing something right.
the football section was pretty much full..... possibly some students might have snuck in the back of it, that I don't know
all I can tell you is that, if you showed up and wanted to sit in the student section, it could be done right up to tipoff
I doubt anyone was turned away..... if a student was turned away because the school thought their were the maximum amount of students in the building, they would be wrong
