I think this one is going to be a classic in the series and a slugfest.

If I were still living in Cincy this is the type of game I'd be making the trek across 32 for. A couple pumps at Jackie Os or some other locale with OUCountry and then we pack the Roundhouse and make some noise, baby. LFG.

We should win every game at home. And we'll need to, because there aren't many left and we're butt cheeks on the road.

Their size - and girth - will be a problem.

Mirambeux is running about 3 bills these days. Looks like that old wrestler from WWE. Viscera / Mabel.

3 bills? More like 3.7 bills.

We'll have a crowd. Will we have atmosphere? hard to say. Sibs crowds are normally more sedate and it's still two 11-10 teams. Waiting for the students to care, but can't make them care. two Saturdays ago, we might have had 3k in the house against EMU. I hope we can actually double that Saturday.

I hate that I have to hope for 6k on a freaking Saturday against miami.

Have they ever considered GA for games?

Get everyone pushed down into the lower bowl area?

Kent State gets 2,000 people in the building and it looks like Cameron Indoor. OU gets 7K and it looks like Saturday morning at the JCC. Except less loud.

OU leads the league in attendance every year and you'd never think it. We REALLY have to re-think this. I've been complaining about it since I was a student, so I don't see it happening, but the Convo should be as intimating of a place to play in as any mid-major in the country. And we're fine with it, being absolutely not.



Last night was another example of a full student crowd and about 11 people behind the benches. It's like this every single game. That's the season ticket section, how many of those people live in Athens? How many of those people attend more than 25% of games? Of the game attendance, how much is season ticket holders? I've always thought season tickets was more of just a donation to the program. A lovely gesture. Certainly we can still take into account premium seating for season ticket holders, IF they attend, hell, move them down courtside, but it's just absolutely the worst atmosphere and even worse on TV.

They were showing the different views on the Hadaway dunk, running down the break-away looking at the 14 professors and a few janitors who showed up, and then running back after the dunk with the entire lower bowl filled with a jumping student section in matching white shirts. It could not have been any starker of a contrast.

There's always been an option to resell tickets. It's just a matter of actually doing it, then finding willing buyers.

Cosmo Kramer, seat filler.

I'm a season ticket holder that makes about half the games. Sometimes I sell them, sometimes I give them away, sometimes they just go unused.

I understand the mission but it's hard to envision a solution. How could the athletic dept possibly get the info of who is using their seats ahead of time? I often don't know if i am going or not until a couple hours prior.

About the only feasible action that could help the issue is to significantly increase season ticket prices and decrease single game ticket prices. Then more people would forego season tickets in favor of just buying ala carte. But I am pretty sure the athletic department isn't gonna sign up for that.

Are we talking M.O.M. era-Mabel, Big Daddy V-era, or...?

The Cats are 4-1 vs out-of-state MAC teams this season, only 1-3 vs in-state MAC teams. Gotta get that monkey off our backs.

Does seem like they could designate some lower bowl tickets for single game purchases.

But, I'm guessing if you posted a request on here you might end up a lower bowl ticket texted to you for free....
