Long-time lurker here but I'm going to jump in and get my feet wet now that are native son has shown up in a Bobcat uniform. I'm not sure if the computer adds 10 pounds but Ethan looks to have put on about 20 to 25. Looks like there are a lot of very talented players in the underclass for Ohio. The number 2581 seems a little bit low but we only had 5500 at Hinkle Fieldhouse for a scrimmage with Butler and a Florida Southern squad chock-full of native Hoosiers. The arena at Ohio seems to be one of the larger arenas I've seen in a MAC school. I am looking forward to getting down to Southeast Ohio to see Ethan play. Our own Derek Elston played last year at IU so we got to see him couple of times at Canseco and at Assembly Hall.
Just wanted to chime in and ask a couple questions about attendance and thank those folks who are responsible for getting us a good feed. Wanted to get over there and see our boy Ethan play just as we did Derek last year. Good luck to the obcats we will be watching.
Welcome!
You'd be correct in thinking it is one of the larger arenas you've seen at a MAC school, because it is in fact the largest at a MAC school, seating 13,080. I only wish I'd ever seen it full once the past three years I've been here. Ball State's Worthern Arena, if you've been, is the second largest with a capacity of 11,500.
Hope you're able to make the trek to Athens sometime -- you won't regret the trip.
