Student Section - defend yourselves
By the start of the third quarter maybe half of you were gone. By the fourth quarter 2/3 of you were gone and by the end of the game how many were left? Maybe 300?
This is the level of support you put out for your team? Pathetic in my opinion. They used to have some competition for best student fan section. You guys wouldn't make the cut.
What was it? A little snow get you down? I hear college kids have to bring their dog to college now. Did you have to leave to let Fluffy out for a dump? They have brought in entertainment to deal with your lack of attention span. Are you not entertained by the 100 yard dash, the MC, the DJ? Most of you couldn't even stick around for Mr. Brightside.
The team busts their butt for most of the year to get to where they are today. Sad that their fellow students can't stick around to show they appreciate it.

Drunk college boys with their large breasted girlfriends leaving that cold ass stadium and boring game so they can get laid.
Sound decision making.
Go Blue!!!
November 12th, 2022 at 11:45 PM ^
Name checks out.
November 13th, 2022 at 12:27 AM ^
Yup. Those students probably all had tickets to see Blue Oyster Cult later.
November 13th, 2022 at 10:07 AM ^
LOL, saw this and had to Google and see if BLUE Oyster Cult is still touring. Found out they are, but not in the Ann Arbor area.
November 13th, 2022 at 12:28 AM ^
That guy definitely listens to side one of Led Zeppelin IV.
November 13th, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
He’s hasn’t forgotten the magnetism of Robin Zander or the charisma of Rick Nielsen.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:00 PM ^
Quit drinking and go to bed, buddy.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:04 PM ^
Shut up.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:04 PM ^
10-0 team and only one more home game of the season before you have to wait until next September.
I don't care what the weather is...we better pack that place next week.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:13 PM ^
Well at least until halftime ...
November 13th, 2022 at 10:58 AM ^
Cool part for me, beside third row seats, is that next week is a noon game. I’ll likely be able to get a table for a nice meal this time. Last couple of visits to Ann Arbor ended with a shitty dinner near the hotel. 29-degrees next week? Hell, yeah.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
You’re an idiot…no offense
November 12th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
Those 300 were probably still louder than the rest of the crowd combined, lol.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:13 PM ^
Down in front!
November 13th, 2022 at 12:00 AM ^
Non-student sections, I DEMAND you defend yourselves against these charges!
November 13th, 2022 at 12:41 AM ^
Let's go blue.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
Are you not entertained by the 100 yard dash, the MC, the DJ?
Are you?
November 12th, 2022 at 11:10 PM ^
That’s likely why they left,
November 12th, 2022 at 11:24 PM ^
Unreal how badly that one kid cheated on the 100 yard dash today. I'm glad they called upstairs.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:55 PM ^
The punt catch girl is the one who really got screwed over
November 13th, 2022 at 12:21 AM ^
No doubt. They started her at the 40 and the "punts" barely made it to the 20.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:27 PM ^
I was gonna leave at half but the DJ
November 13th, 2022 at 9:32 AM ^
The MC and the DJ need to go
November 13th, 2022 at 9:34 AM ^
And the T-Shirt toss, the flex CAM and the guess which helmut can go with them.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:11 PM ^
First paragraph... okay. Second paragraph... ehhhh. Third paragraph...
November 12th, 2022 at 11:11 PM ^
Definitely was letting Fluffy out for a dump. Nailed it. Are you done shaking your fist now?
November 12th, 2022 at 11:12 PM ^
Uh college students have more interesting things to do than watch a blowout. I know that I would have left to drink a keg instead of freezing my ass off in the bleachers.
November 13th, 2022 at 9:43 AM ^
Blowout? It was 17-3 at the half.
So if all the fans were like you the 2nd half would be played in an empty stadium.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:15 PM ^
Michigan student section...en garde!
November 12th, 2022 at 11:24 PM ^
The students had to go study.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:29 PM ^
That game was like watching paint dry. But it was winter, and the students were standing outside the house. I'm kinda okay with it.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:31 PM ^
OP - defend yourself from this horrendous take
November 13th, 2022 at 9:51 AM ^
First of all, I am not an old person. Evidently MGoBoard thinks that only two types of people attend Michigan football games: students and old people.
I watched the replay on TV - ABC did everything it could to avoid showing the empty student section. Not a good look.
I guess I was under the mistaken impression that Michigan fans were passionate about their team. It isn't every year that you get to support (or in this case, not support) a 10-0 team.
Interestingly despite all the heat I'm getting for pointing out the obvious, posters aren't really defending leaving a game at halftime rather than staying and supporting your team.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:37 PM ^
Like clockwork some old person tells the students they aren’t doing it right. Embarrassing for you OP
November 13th, 2022 at 5:48 AM ^
FWIW I’m an old person who thinks this post is beyond ridiculous. And I can assure you that if we had smart phones from 78-81 when I was sitting in that section the pics of the stands at the end of shitty weather blowout games would look EXACTLY the same as yesterday’s did.
It’s just my fellow geriatric doesn’t accurately remember little details like that anymore.
November 13th, 2022 at 7:27 AM ^
On the one hand, not upset that they all left. On the other, I have random endurance badges from 1995 Purdue and 2010 NW.
not to mention 1995 @MSU.
November 13th, 2022 at 11:06 AM ^
Bullshit MGrow. I was there then and we stayed. You forget that we could bring alcohol in, and we passed the cheerleaders to the top of the stadium over our heads, and we partied like no tomorrow. You can snow some people but quit lying. There are plenty of videos to disprove you. Also, friend, most games, almost ALL of them, started at 1pm.I don't blame these kids at all for leaving, but the students back then (US) actually could party in the stadium. So we stayed.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:37 PM ^
I think you forgot to tell them to get off your lawn.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:38 PM ^
they were reading at home, obviously
November 12th, 2022 at 11:48 PM ^
God what kind of dork posts this.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:50 PM ^
Any students who left the game early are ALSO not here at 11:45 ET on a Saturday night.
November 13th, 2022 at 12:14 AM ^
I hate to be the one to prove you wrong since I in fact left early and am here. In my defense, watching a blowout while freezing my ass off after walking around drunk in the snow for 4 hours before hand was not my top priority. I went and watched the rest nice and warm under a blanket at home.
November 13th, 2022 at 12:49 AM ^
Well the OP thinks you're a pansy. I wonder if you can recover from this.
/s
November 13th, 2022 at 1:22 AM ^
Alone? I smell a rat…
November 12th, 2022 at 11:51 PM ^
Another dumbass post from a dumbass with nothing better to do
November 13th, 2022 at 12:02 AM ^
Fuck off, dumbass
November 13th, 2022 at 12:22 AM ^
I left after the 3rd quarter, but in my defense, I'm almost 50 and I was with my daughter and it was a long drive back to Chicago and now I think I'm sick after sitting through the snow in the first quarter.
Please don't hamblast me, op...
November 13th, 2022 at 12:32 AM ^
Take some Nyquil and prepare to defend yourself, good sir!
