First of all, congrats to the Lady Bobcats tonight. that was another fun game to watch.so proud. I thought the atmosphere was the best all year. the turnout was great and the vibe was cool. It is disappointing that if we want to travel next game, it would be in Chicago. I am not sure how the WNIT works but I think with the last three home games there were over 5,000 ticket sold. the ladies have the best RPI left. Its a bummer NW. gets a home game. the girls already missed the NCAA. I would be interested to see if NW. sell 2500 seats next week
I'm disappointed the athletic department couldn't come up with a bus or two to transport interested fans to the game in Evanston on Saturday. While the 7+ hr. trip one way is a bit too much to expect for many of us to do I feel confident a good number of fans would have agreed to let someone else do the driving. I'm thinking for a fee of $50 or $60 per person would have more than reasonable to cover the cost of a bus (if not through a charter company possibly use on or more the university's busses). Getting back home in the wee hours of Sunday morning would have been much more manageable knowing I could have slept a bit on the drive home. I know it was a quick turn around but if indeed this athletic department is sincere about getting fans more involved they are going to have to step up their game as well.
The crowd inside the Convo tonight was electric...by far the best crowd I've seen at a women's game in many, many years. Hopefully our ladies can continue to win and we'll get another chance to host one or more games back in the Convo.
+1
I just hope we have the $$$ to put the team on a charter flight from UNI (Albany International ) to Chicago Exec. airport PWK. Tomorrow afternoon flight will take an hour 20 or so, depends on winds. Bus ride would be 9+ hours.
Hope JS steps up here and makes the flight happen.
After watching tonight's game, In person. I think these girls can make this happen. I sure hope so - every game OU wins is a POKE in the eye of the NCAA Women's selection committee.
AND they need that "poke". The MAC has been snubbed too long.
