Most of you know the drill from the last few years:

I have two Bobcat Black front row, right at center court season tickets. Living in Los Angeles, I can't easily use them so I auction them off for each game.

Rules are pretty simple: pm me with your bids. I'll set an end date for the auction and keep each bidder updated as to whether they're in the lead or not so the bidding process can continue until the deadline I set for a given game. I reserve the right to not always accept the highest bid if circumstances warrant (such as making sure that one person doesn't get the seats too often).

Half of the proceeds received from the sales goes to the Bobcat Club, the other half goes to the School of Accountancy and the rest goes to the Ohio Foundation.

We're going to be good this year and the MAC has some good teams. Minimum bid for any game: $27.88 per seat. I know; crazy low.

First game is Rio Grande on 11/5. Start sending those bids in.

Poor Ohio Foundation.

Can't imagine much is left over after half of the proceeds go to the Bobcat Club and the other half to the School of Accountancy.

First up for grabs is Rio Grande on November 5.

But feel free to pm me with your bid(s) for any game(s) which you are interested in. (Heck, pm eve if you're not interested!)


By the way, Rio Grande is expected to be terrific, to win their conference easily, and to contend for the national title in their division. Of course, that I'm totally making this up and that I've no reason at all to believe that it's true should not influence your purchasing behavior.


FOR GOODNESS SAKE, THESE TWO TIX ARE FIRST ROW, RIGHT AT CENTER COURT: DO IT! DO IT!

My son's varsity team is 8-2 and approaching state playoffs week of 11/5.

I'd say first two games will pass without a bid from me. Bittersweet.

But I plan on getting the seats for my teens at least once this season.

Now accepting bids for Sam Houston State on 11/14 and Georgia Tech on 11/18.

At The Convo. First row seats, feet on the floor for this OHIO BOBCAT BASKETBALL team which is edging toward being rated.

Steal these two seats before someone else takes what is rightfully yours!

Those are great seats.

With Tommy on staff I am set for tix but may get in on these as we see the season progress. Not above sitting up cl ose and personal and talking to the refs. Folks should take advantage of this at this price for a really good bargain on an exceptional game experience. One of the best bargains in sport....save for Indiana HS hoops of course. (5 bucks to see future pros is realy hard to beat)

105--thanks. Sorry. I am so dang busy right now. Apologies to all for my carelessness and lack of diligent follow-up.

The good news is that the tix are available for games at The Convo.

Thanks to borna for giving some color to the Bobcat Black ticket experience!

I had Monroe's seats yesterday. If you haven't made a play for them, you really ought to treat yourself at least once. As a young basketball referee, I came to really appreciate the speed and chaos of Division 1 college basketball from that vantage point, even more than I did when I was a student in the O Zone not that much further away. Tickets come with a pass to the Rohr Room where there is free popcorn, soda, and water, beer and wine for sale, three TVs set to other games.

I guess new this year in the Rohr Room is a pregame chalk talk with whichever assistant had the game scout assignment. Coach Kemp came up and took questions. The coaches think we can be as much of a player on the national level as a mid-major can be this year. Confirmed that they are seeking a redshirt for Wadly and that they again feel that Akron is the biggest competition in the MAC.

Good to see old faces uptown and in the building. Had a great time. High touch customer service in the front row. The Culver dunk was fun! Half full O Zone, but those that were there were noisy and organized all game long which seemed to be a better opening game effort than in many recent years.

Oh yeah, if it hasn't been specified, these seats are the two at the end of the row by the band. It honestly is not as noisy as I thought it would be.
