I thought the students are alloted something like 1500 tickets?  Has that
changed?  Or is it just that because of the new way of distribution they go
to the general public when not picked up within that time frame?

Well you're welcome ;-)   But in the meantime you DO have a unique position.
 I would like to see more team input!  Where are the rest of you guys??

I know!  Believe me..... we try to get our section involved!   I don't know
about other people, but we do not sit with our friends. That's not by
choice.... just where we happen to have season seats.  When we ARE able to
sit with friends, like at away games or when there's room in our section, I
believe the noise level increases, if only by a couple of voices.  (Actually,
the Maine section at away games is pretty impressive)  I'm not saying
everyone should change their season tickets so I get to sit with my pals ;-)
but I think it might be an explanation of sorts as to why people aren't that
involved.  In the past when the students took up the entire area next to the
band, it was LOUD.  That's why it's so important to get the students to the
games and get them sitting TOGETHER.
