School spirit.
Friday night the Griz basketball team absolutely trounced Montana St.-Northern and the students did not care at all. Throughout the course of the entire game, not a single student stood; no one. There was no noise. It really might as well of been a preseason NBDL game.
Not only did one stand or cheer, some students even told others not to stand. My girlfriend (we need to make up some name to refer to her by, like the Sports Gal, except better) was even called a bitch when she and a friend tried to stand through the first couple of minutes.
It's really beyond me that students can stand and yell throughout the course of a 3 and a half our long football game but not stand at all during a basketball game that lasts less than two hours. The Griz basketball finished up last season with advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a win over Nevada. Nevada enters this season ranked 25th in the nation.
The point is, the Griz basketball team is not I-AA; they're straight up I-A and people, especially students, should start noticing.

Four and a half hours in line, and I'm already really bored. Going to be a long night. It'll be worth it though. Any speculation on how much ebay tickets will be running this year?
Man, sorry I didn't see this sooner. For some reason the comment crept into my junk folder.
The going rate right now for student section tickets seems to be right around $75.
