Coach Smith's presser. Wow, what a difference from the past couple years.

Anyone know when Rutgers tickets will be available for download on ohiobobcats.com? I logged in and I can see all of my season tickets, game by game, but no link to download away game tickets. I paid via ohiobobcats.com, so I assume that I will download Rutgers tickets there rather than on the Rutgers athletic site. Seems like they ought be available now -- the beginning of game week, especially since game day is a Thursday. Anyone know anything about this issue?

I was just told "not yet" by a ticket office staffer who seemed truly irritated that I had the audacity to ask.

It's been years since they've had good customer service. I get that they are understaffed, but between the last ticket person and this one, they just don't know how to speak to the public.

Wish we'd get better audio in the peanut gallery.

We are currently listed as 14.5 point underdogs this week. Feel decent that we can cover that. Then again, everything is a mystery week one. Curious to see how our defense matches up to who we were last year.

It's the lead-in game for Wisconsin and Miami at 9pm.

Yeah forgot about them. I like the doubleheader but hard to dedicate 6pm on a weeknight, I'll figure it out.

What a weird matchup with Weaver at Rutgers and Rhodes Jr back with the Bobcats.

Does Weaver spill our whole Offense / Defensive to Rutgers? He surely knows everything inside and out. Gonna be a battle of the coaches to mix things up I'd imagine.

So when, pray tell, can I download my Rutgers tickets? I’m on my way now to visit my daughter in Harlem, and then it’s onto Piscataway. Do I have to wait until two hours before game time. This is bordering on totally incompetent

The Bobcat rally attendees are sitting in Section 109, rows 28-30, seats 1-11 (in those 3 rows). I bought mine through Seat Geek but there weren't any available from the listed rows above.

While I don't like second-hand marketplaces, I managed to get 2 great seats at row 15 for less than $90. The price gouging can't happen if there's no risk of a sellout!

The big debate in my household, well, really just in my head, is whether or not I want to pick up a service like Nufu to watch the game or just sit out on the front or back porch and listen to the Bobcat Radio Network...

YouTubeTV carries BTN. I believe you can still do a 7-day free trial and cancel after.

YouTubeTV and Fox are currently having a dispute that may result in Fox channels being removed on 8/27. BTN is a Fox affiliate and could be impacted by the dispute. Hopefully it is resolved by 6pm on Thursday

FuboTV is another option for BTN where you can get a free trial https://www.fubo.tv/signup

I didn't realize this is a Thursday night game. I'm excited to get the Bobcat football season rolling a couple of days earlier than I expected.
