Attendance

*when I go to games, I make noise on every first and second down, all game* says the guy who doesn't go to games.

Notice the lack of blue on the field? Has ICBK written all over it.

I've been to UNC, Duke, Clemson, Auburn, FSU, Vandy (nice Halloween night victory), the ACCc, and several bowls. However, missing games at BDS, unless an emergency has come up, is unacceptable

Haven’t been to Duke, UNC, Auburn, or Vandy. Seen them all at BDS but not their home fields. Went to the ACCCG vs FSU, good game just couldn’t get over the hump. FSU and Clemson are fun. Notre Dame was cool to see and their fans were pretty good overall. None of that compares with beating the mutts in Athens.
Used to drive from Birmingham with my dad to the tit during Cremins time. Bball just hasn’t been the same since. I preferred the old tit to the new one.

Long ago stipulated why I’m not attending games currently. Pretty clear and lots of other fans have done the same.

You can disregard my opinion because of that. Feel free. But my experience at Tech games covers 4 decades.

Do you make noise on 1st and 2nd down consistently? If you do good on you. When I go to games I do. If you don’t then either own it or change it.

The team appreciates someone in the stands yelling on 3rd down more than someone on their couch yelling on all 3. It’s a bad look to call someone attending games a bad fan for the way they cheer when you aren’t attending yourself.

I never missed a game as a student then had season tickets after graduation. Went to some road, bowl games, and ACCCG as well. Now? 3 kids 4 and under made me pause on season tickets, though I still go to a game or two every year. Plan to get family season tickets when all the kids can handle gameday. Yes, I’ll be yelling on all downs. No, I won’t be calling out others who don’t. Instead I’ll thank them for supporting the program with their attendance while im in this season of life and only yelling and jumping up and down at home.

So you’re kind of a hypocrite?

By saying the team appreciates JJ more than me? Or by saying I appreciate fans who are at the games (JJ) more than fans who stay home (me).

As an analogy, am I not allowed to say I appreciate the military unless I’m in the military?

No. They are saying only fans currently attending games regularly can have any opinions. You aren’t currently attending either.

It’s one thing to appreciate quiet fans in the stands for simply showing up. It’s another to argue that those fans are as beneficial to the team as those that make noise.

Who said anything about the fans being quiet? Does everyone go batshit every play? No. There are hardly any fans at any game, not just ours, outside of some in the student section, that go batshit all game. And no, you don't "when" you go to a game. I have never seen any ST holder in the stands do that for a game that isn't a close Clemson/UGAg/VT/Miami style game.
