As I was analyzing this game before tip-off, thinking about our strengths and weaknesses versus theirs, I truly felt that if we could just score more points than Kent we would win this game.

I happened to be watching the interplay on the lane after the first FT and before the foul. It was premeditated, discussed, pantomimed and set up - all within 5 feet of the official. No brainer. Undisciplined doesn’t begin to describe the sheer idiocy of this act. In fact, if the MAC has any nads they’ll sit the kid down for a game or two.

With such keen insight you are clearly qualified to be a high-paid analyst on ESPN.

I fully understand that moving a game to an entirely new day and up a half hour is problematic for work, school, kids, etc.. I don't like it either. At the same time, we heard the same kind of sentiment when the Purdue game time was announced and that it was in the middle of the shopping season, along with the students being gone. Couple all this together and it just reminds us that in many instances we're a "not ready for primetime" fanbase.
If you're the fan of a "primetime team," you come to expect that even 1-2 weeks out you may have no clue what time your game is going to be until the networks announce it. Being 2-2.5 hours from Morgantown, I know many/many/many season ticket holders who make it to games all season long. In fact, when you see bad weather, or WVU gets moved to a 9pm weeknight game--I turn on the broadcast and the place still seems packed. Even when school is out and the opponent is good, there's a student section, cheerleaders, etc... whereas we can't pull it off and having a Purdue type team doesn't happen all the time like it does in Morgantown where brand name opponents are more customary. And last i checked, Athens and Morgantown aren't exactly metropolitan megacenters. Not sure we could handle the pricing, scheduling demands and inconveniences if we did become the next Gonzaga.
