Miami will be retiring Charlie Coles jersey when they play Ohio on Feb. 14. I think it is very fitting that they are doing it when they play the Bobcats.

They'll get a bump of 20-30 people.

Should've been done a year ago.

I've often wondered if JC took the BC job just to avoid wearing a turtleneck twice a year.

That's a doubleheader day where Ohio fans can watch the women as well. Women tip @1pm. No idea if there's a 2 games for 1 price thing going on.

Hoping we can turn Millet a little green. Charlie would have appreciated that.

The conference has not been the same (at least in basketball), since Charlie passed. Charlie will be longed missed by many Bobcat fans myself included. If I lived closer I would definitely make the game.

The "Jan's Fans" bus will be going. 30 or so folks. I will be there standing on my seat cheering. Charlie was a "class act".

Looking forward to seeing Charlie's number go up in the rafters. Charlie loved the Ohio-Miami rivalry, so it is fitting that Miami picked this game . It won't be the same without Charlie around, and it certainly is not the same with the condition of the Miami basketball program and the "missing" student body. The game will still be competitive and hard fought, but it was much more fun when most every game seemed to determine the MAC Champs !
