Actual photo of shitshow at Memorial Stadium.

It is quite amazing how evenly those Geese distributed their little Goose turds...they must have had assigned seats.

As I said in response to another post on this messy issue, this seems like photoshopping (?photoplopping?) to me.

 

[IUXC68]

It's the typical basketball mindset that has routinely hurt this program. Football must come first or at least get equal billing.

If you quit beating your head against the wall now, you might live longer.

Why is it sad for people to like the sport of basketball better than football

Why do you fail to understand that the longer we ignore football, the further and further our resources will fall behind other schools...and first on that list will be basketball.

It's not coincidence that you look at the Top 25 and a healthy majority are "football schools" that generally don't really care about basketball...but have more to pay for staff than Indiana.

It's not a coincidence that OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, and MSU have passed us on the B10 BB hierarchy. They value football first, and that tide raises all ships.

We focus on an "additional income" asset, while neglecting the primary money maker. Clearly this neglect is finally taking its toll on our financial maneuverability within the basketball program. We better hope Archie works, because we don't have the war chest that other schools have to solve these problems.

A game day walk-through as soon as it is light should be basic.

they probably did one, just didn't hit that section.

i totally agree that they should have caught it, but being ticket sales were as they were, having everyone move down to better seats might have been a better solution than a last minute cleanup hosing down attempt might have provided. (do we even have the equipment to hose those rows down)?

that said, while the goose sht thing was bad, don't lose perspective.

the attendance is a much bigger black eye, and hurts the program far more, is not a once every 50 yr event, and don't take you eye off the attendance issue to worry about the crap thing.

that would be letting them off the hook. not holding them accountable.

 

[yosdk]

I will!
I have been to several Bucket games and IU has lost every Bucket game I have every attended at home. I will still attend, and root for IU regardless of the chances of winning. But if you want fans to show, you have to give them optimism of winning.

Were you there Saturday? With a Bowl Game on the line?

When the tickets are overpriced , the team is losing, there is no beer, not enough bathrooms, concessions running out of food and/or understaffed, and there are animal droppings all over the seats, it begins to explain why people are reluctant to shell out cash to see the game live. All of these issues are part of the same problem.

What kind of business would run this way? If they did it would not be for long.

Outside of the tailgating....attending an IUFB game is a pretty abysmal experience in every way.

I FIRMLY expect beer sales to be introduced next year.

I live in TX and try to make a game with the family every other year at the least. My daughter is 13 and has been to 6 or 7 IU football games. She has never seen them win. Granted the last two were Ohio State, but she’s witnessed some pretty poor performances

You can count on it. Unfortunately, that will be the end of pass outs.

As someone who actually attends games, I will tell you that this is not my experience at all.

"Yes sir - we inspected part of it."

They apparently realized it about an hour before kickoff and moved people from the areas they could not get cleaned up. Also. Apparently it was not Geese but flocks of blackbirds or crows.

 

[i'vegotwinners]

can we get contact info for those birds, for the next OSU game here.

Bird seed the week prior

Perhaps we could reprise that for the Michigan game.

Is this where I bitch about the band having the same pre-game show for the last 5(?) years?

I likewise failed in my efforts to get my kids to be real IU football fans.....basketball yes, football no.

OK lets look at the 8 teams that have won 3 national championships and see who you think would be considered a football school.
UCLA
UK
IU
DUKE
UNC
UCONN
KU
VILLANOVA

[IU Scott]

Also all of these teams are in the top 25 who I don't consider football schools so that is 13 out of 25 and a few others that wouldn't be considered big time football schools.

Gonzaga
KU
DUKE
NEVADA
UVA
UK
UNC
KSU
MARYLAND
PU
CREIGHTON
BUFFALO
HOSUTON

I was going to say, maybe the section was a PU section and the birds missed their mark, so to speak. If the birds would have crapped and peed on the right parts of PU clothing, nobody would have noticed, lol

It's ebonics - not eubonics. You might want to look that one up (and then delete your post).
