you say that students dont pay anything to get in??? they pay to get in when they paid there tuition bill.

and its quite pricey

amen.
all 22 million in profit wsu makes a year on that pays for our seats.
They loyal fans are there.
and the half of a student section that is there.
is way way way louder than the bitter old negative shocker fans who make up the rest of our arena, and sit there arms crossed frowning, checking their blackberry every few mins for the stock ticker. lol.

No, you're paying for your tuition. If you're talking about the raised fees for Koch when it was getting built, that was agreed upon by the students. If that's your case, I would think that would give you an even better reason to go out to a game.. so your $$ doesn't go to waste..

id rather have a student section half full of devoted shocker fans.
then a student section full of fair weather fans, who are checkign the KU score every 5 mins.

They can all go to lawrence get on their knees and kiss Bill Selfs arse.
for all we care.
The real fans are there.
You didnt see coach marshall making way across the arena to thank all the fan swho sit the whole game.
no he came and he thanked the students. who still show up at 11am and rediculous times like that.
Who arent just there because its an investment they are there for the team.
They arent there to criticized they are there to encourage.
and it was that that marshall appreciated. not the wealthy arms crossed frowing critical shocker fans u see around our arena.

Well that makes perfect sense.. :roll: lol.. Since obviously non-student fans outnumber student fans by a healthy 9 to 1 ratio, I'd say that's a little unfair. The fair way would be to look at the occupancy percentage rate..(cool, I like that term.. OPR). Student section OPR is a little over 50%. Non-student OPR is a little over 90%... Game over.

How many people are there in Wichita? 400,000? How many students are there at WSU? Maybe 10,000? If you wish to look at figures, even with the crapheads like you getting a 9:1 ratio on seats, with 400,000 people in Wichita, every one of those seats should be filled.

Get to work.

I feel so much dumber for engaging with the three stooges. I give up.

How the hell did you guys get into WSU anyways?

have you ever been wrong in your life shockerfever.
ur a sad man.

30 on the ACT.

Turned down a full ride from the music department. Currently taking no scholarship money so others who need it more can have it.

Why are you still here, ShockerFever? You've got your work cut out for you, searching 400,000 people for 9,500 people to fill Koch Arena...

Yes.

ur a sad man.

A man, nonetheless, though.. 8)

30? Wow. That doesn't correlate to your posts here though.

Music department, eh? Alto or soprano?

Your math logic is flawed. That 30 is making less and less sense. It's not even worth arguing. Probably the weirdest, yet, most incomprehensible logic I've ever seen attempted on a sports message board.

Why are you still here? Isn't there some test to study for, or homework to do, or some choir practice to attend?

As a resident taking/auditing a golf class every semester you'd pay approx $200. So if you take fall and spring classes you pay $400 a year for season tickets to every sport. I know several people who do this, but I also know that isn't the case for most people. At the same time, as has been mentioned, most people don't go to school so they can get free tickets.

Violin. Took choir once in high school as a favor to the teacher.

I never said I got a 30 on the math section, but by my logic, it would seem to be easier to find 9,000 willing people out of 400,000 than 1,000 willing people out of 10,000. That's 10% of the student body compared to 2.25% of the population of Wichita. Let's round that up to 3% to allow for unforeseen circumstances and unsold student tickets that can be picked up by the public. That's being generous, since 3% of 400,000 is 12,000.

Looking at those numbers, there is even less of an excuse for an empty seat ANYWHERE in the arena. If students slacking on their seats irks you so much, find someone who is willing to buy the ticket. It only takes 3% of Wichita to pack Koch Arena. I don't exactly see what's so faulty about my math...

As for homework, it's done. I'll give you my teacher's names if you want so you can check if you're so worried about my grades...

Violin, eh? I bet you get all the chicks.

I'm not gonna deal with the whole number bullshyt logic because frankly I don't wanna think and don't really care. Simply put, it's sad that the free tickets the student receive can't fill up over half the student section. And these are actual students who are actually attending the university, the same university these players go to and see everyday. But no.. only half-full.

You'd figure with how loud and proud and true the student fans are that they'd at least fill up that relatively small student section that's in place.. but no.. They only come when WSU is winning. That means over half the students that normally attend WSU games are bandwagoners. That's a bad percentage to have for WSU students.

As for the homework, I' m not the one who's brought that lameass excuse up. It was you. I don't care about your grades. I care about the excuses you give, which should make no difference from 2006 to 2008.

Ok.. I'm done for a little bit. You can have the last word, as if that wasn't a possibility anyways.. :roll:
