why do thousands of fans get to the game late then leave early. Bugs the crap out of me seeing a few thousand fans leave in the 4th qt of a close game. Western fans are like that also. No matter how close a game is a couple thousand fans leave with the game very much in doubt.
At least our fans buy tickets. We support a team that might win 3 or 4 games better than WKU supports a 2-time conference champ.
no one was taking a shot at ODU's attendance or fans.
Now try reading the comment without your anger.

As a fan that loves this game and sit in the stands (home and away) of winning or losing football. I don't understand people that buy a ticket (ODU's cheapest ticket isn't cheap (visiting fans pay $35)...Western's isn't neither $20) miss most of the first quarter then get up and leave right when the game is getting good/close and your team has a chance to win or blow the game.
No matter where it's at...it bugs the crap out of me. I understand some people have other plans and must leave. But not a few thousand. I guess we should just be thankful those people at least came to the game, paying for a ticket and at least making the effort to "support" their team. Unlike those "fans" that only watch on TV.
But as a fan...if you are making the effort to get there..why get up and leave at the most important time of the game? Doesn't matter where the game is being played or which team is home. I just don't get it.
As I said a prefect night for football and a good game to watch, as a fan. ODU wins this game if your coach kept hitting 5 to 9 yard passes and pounding Western with the run. As a Western fan....I will gladly take all gifts. Don't care if it's from the other team or officials.
The freshman is going to be a good QB at some point once he develops the 15 yard to deep pass. Right now he doesn't seem to be able to make it or confident in the throw. ODU had a sure TD that was over thrown and the important INT under thrown.
I personally don't think this is the coach that will take ODU to where fans want the program. But the support is there and sitting in a talent rich area and no real supper powers (like us fighting in the south for talent) ODU will get the talent to compete.....win.
