This is Miami @ Hamilton's basketball team.

No, it is not a high school team. They play in something called the USCAA which was founded as the "National Little College Athletic Association" (NLCAA), primarily to sponsor a national basketball tournament for small colleges and junior colleges.
The transfer portal is going to be brutal for these guys.

So you won't show up... in defiance of parking fees?

Actually since I have the print at home tickets, I may not bother to even print them. Nobody will want to see that even for free. The way HP charges for ink cartridges these days...probably won't bother to print them.
N...no... I...

Its crazy they still have print at home tickets. At this point it would take me much longer to figure out how to print them than it would to get them on my phone. So much easier to pop them into the wallet on mobile.

Not everyone, including dinosaurs like me, has a "Smart" phone.

I use mu cell phone to make and receive calls.
That's it.
My "flip phone" works just fine.

In fact, when I went to replace my old one, last year, the lady
at the Verizon Store said they are still popular.
She also said they seem to be getting more popular.

To add, somewhat, to rp's comment, I know of a long time (husband and wife) football and basketball season ticket holder who dropped both seasons due to their inability to print tickets at home.

Call me what you will, but there are times I miss real tickets. I have kept ticket stubs from memorable games I have been to. MLB All Star game, playoff baseball, an OSU-Mich game. My kid will never be able to have nostalgic ticket stubs like that. I’m fine with using my smart phone for tickets but I do miss having a tangible memory of attending games.

Digital is convenient but in the blink of an eye it can be erased.

Throw away information for a throw away society.

You will own nothing and like it.

Typical topic, win and bitch. It’s 2023-2024 why you holding out? I go to MLB, NFL and NHL games every year and it’s all card and card when you enter. So all you talk about you do, how do you do anything it it’s all cash? Or just refuse to use a card. It is your choice.

I've got a smart phone and I know how to use it, but put me in the group of people that doesn't like the digital tickets. Especially with the new standing scanning machine they've got this year. It's aimed at speeding things up and getting people moved through, but every time I've went through it, it's slowed things down. You have to have your phone pointed at the exact perfect angle, which is never the angle that's intuitive to you. And you have to wait to swipe to the next screen to scan for each person in your party; there's a few seconds of lag between each person before it will work. It's not a big deal but it's an annoyance that's supposed to make things go smoother but is instead having the opposite effect.

My cell phone is plenty "smart" but I didn't want to add a ticket app when I knew my service was going to change from Verizon to T-Mobile. "Print at home" seemed like a safer option for this one season. It's also easy to give away a printed pair of tickets to somebody if I'm busy and can't go.

If you are going to schedule this game, then play Captain Chaos for 25 minutes and sit AJB and rest him for AP and Davidson. No sense in watching him get knocked to the floor tonight and having him run to the locker-room three times holding his shoulder.

Don't play AJB vs APSU either. Give him a full 12 days more before Davidson. Or don't play him until the NIU game since we can beat APSU without him and won't beat Toledo with him.

Personally I find that to be extremely cool, although some may accuse me of being a communist.
