Georgia State Has to Bribe Its Fanbase to Watch
This was reported by Andy Staples last week, but somehow we missed the fact that Georgia State has resorted to essentially paying people to come watch its football team. That’s right. The same program that decided to move “up” to the Sunbelt before ever playing a down of CAA football has resorted to literally dropping money from the rafters in an effort to get people to come to games. I’d say I have no idea how we missed this, but the truth is I know exactly how we missed this. We missed it because like the majority of other people in the country we’re not paying any attention to Georgia State football. You can see pictures of the cash drop over at Larry Brown Sports. And for the record the promotion drew in a whopping 9,531 fans who got to see New Hampshire beat the Panthers 44-21.
Dang…if we hadn’t spent all of that money on the best stadium in FCS, we could have been doing this!
Honestly, the most noteworthy thing here is the fact GSU somehow scored 21 points. Maybe UNH’s defense really is actually worse than it looked against ODU despite the presence of Matt Evans.
At Duke they piped in crowd noise through the stadium sound system. That used to be the saddest thing I had ever heard until now.
