I'm in + a few. Maybe Billy the C will sit near me.
Have not made a men's game yet, hoping to see them after the 1st of the year. Do you have extra seats you are offering?

Hoping to make it if I can get off work in time to make it. The bypass might save me. Still agitated about not having this game when students are there but oh well. Maybe the big name will bring some of them back in town

I'm laughing very hard right now. And I'll be at the game Wednesday. Hopefully plus 4.

Since the Atlantic Ten has been a far superior league to the MAC in recent years (although that gap has narrowed a little this year), I look forward to having a program like UMass in our building.  Just like I looked forward to having Richmond in here last season.

UMass has handled the MAC, beat us like a drum, since they were mandated to play against MAC schools to move their football into the league.  I may be wrong, but I don't think they've lost to a MAC team since then.  I don't think Temple has either.  Correct me if I'm wrong. 

Did I hear someone say something about shopping?  Shopping?  We're talking shopping here.  Someone would miss the Bobcats vs. the Minutemen to go shopping?

UMass hasn't exactly faced a murderer's row in the MAC. They got us and EMU at home last year, narrowly beat Northern Illinois in DeKalb, and barely escaped Fiami with a one-point win. Given our non-conference road record, EMU this year is probably their nicest MAC win.

Off the top of my head, Temple has lost to Kent State at least once (this year) and they lost at Bowling Green in what I think was one of the first games in the Stroh Center. I don't really care enough about Temple to dig much harder than that.

I think Temps was around .500 against the East and undefeated vs the West.

I'll be there of course, in fact I am missing my son's preschool singing program after I asked him if he'd be OK with that and he responded by saying he wants to go to the game too and doesn't care if I miss his program.  Such a good boy.

No idea how many + since they won't just commit already...It is amazing how difficult a weeknight game seems to many Columbus fans.  Maybe their job isn't as flexible as mine or they require more sleep, but it just seems so simple to me.  Leave by 5, home by 11.

Just read that the football team will be there en masse and will be sitting in the Ozone.  Good to hear.

Good post, RJ.  I had forgotten about UMass' one point victory over Miami.  And I also remember BGSU beating Temple last season.

And if you're fortunate enough to get out at 4pm, like I am, then you have time for a couple adult sodas and some wings before the game.  There is a "rule" some friends of mine and I make -- Must spend at least as much time in Athens as you have in the car to and from.  That generally means a pre/post game beverage.
