I walked out on only one game ever and that was our game against Montana St when our team was straight up pathetic. A 63-20 loss when the previous week was a 55-17 loss? Both at home? No thanks. Thank God for Bubba.

Yeah, there are definitely exceptions where I would leave early.

43-7 at the half.... 

Yikes. Amazing what a difference proper leadership can make isn't it?

[geaux_sioux]

I think what made those two at home blowout losses sting more is that the week before we played #5 SDSU and only lost by 7.

Probably true, I'm also one of those where once I have spent money on a ticket, I'm going to stick it out. Though I guess with students that isn't always a factor.

True point though.

Depends on a few factors.

1. How much did i spend on the ticket?

2. Am i in the city i live in?

3. What other games are on?

4. Does this venue serve beer?

I'm the same way. Maybe it's just my frugal nature, but once I've payed for something I'm staying the whole time. I've sat through some pretty awful movies over the years because I refuse to leave early. Batman vs. Superman is the latest 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

lol yeah no doubt!  I remember sitting in the theatre thinking that if I had rented this and was at home I would shut it off and go to bed!

I watched the first 15 min of that movie in Japanese on an airplane. It was very entertaining.

Don't forget about the "it's halftime time to go home" crowd. That is the biggest problem rather than start times. How to keep people in their seats unless it's 50-0. Just think of all those people who missed the second half of the USD game, a double OT thriller. Also have they ever thought about swapping start times with hockey for a weekend? Instead of 7pm for hockey have it at 2pm, and move football to 7pm. No women's hockey to interfere with ice times. 

I was one of earlier leavers at the USD and consider myself the good luck charm for heading out! Anything to help the team

I never understood that though process. What is the point of going to a game, if you aren't going to watch the whole thing to see what happens. People don't generally leave a hockey game after 2 periods. Heck, even if UND football is leaving, we have all see comebacks happen, particularly last year. I just don't get it.

Sometimes the refs do!

Games like that made me glad the CanadInn is connected to the Alerus and had bars and gaming.

We need to get our production values to this level.

I think Montana has an easier schedule than UND.. cause Montana plays UND.  ummmm

[geaux_sioux]

Pretty simple, we can't play ourselves. That's our greatest weakness.

If playing with themselves was the deciding factor.... the Griz would be "hands down" No. 1.....

The guy that produces those is awesome. He doesn't work for the university, just a super fan

Hahahaha that is rich.

Pretty sure I called this in a different thread that someone would say we still have a weak schedule. So it begins is correct.

Interesting Stat.  The team with the easiest Big Sky schdule last year was E. Washington and really not even close.  Of course going 8-0 and not playing themselves helps, but samething with UND.
