This will suck for the Big Donors an Older Folks but

we need to let the college kids fill the lower seats in the arena to get some more noise during our BB games an get some spark going if at all possible ( of course have to win ) during the games.

[latrops]

Someone going to pay them to go?

We have to win is the telling phrase!! It reminds me of their political action if
They voted!! LOL

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

The building was rocking when we were winning.
Noise will come back when a new coach is hired and we start winning again.

Did anybody else camp out for tickets when the Hogs still played in Barnhill?

I agree. Watched the MS State game this afternoon and it looked like the majority of the crowd was a lot younger than ours. Now it is hard to tell from TV but thats what it looked like.

The students sit in the lower bowl, just not on the side visible on television.

I could be wrong, but i think he is saying turn the entire lower bowl over to the students.

This.

I'm tired of seeing grey hairs smack on mediocre popcorn on tv.

He obviously hasn't seen the study much thereof, this year.

[WorfHog]

Come on guys school doesn't even start back up until Monday.

Washing it down with Pepsi on top of that.

Heck, student sections were pretty empty when they were in school. Hopefully it'll pick up after school starts back.

You don't go to many games do you? The students aren't showing up at Bud Walton. They can't even fill the student section they have allocated to them.

Yep. Spot on.

Yeah, that $85 Access pass is a real killer.

and probably just Pepsi.

You can't expect MA to have success without the lower bowl filled with students! Put Coach Anderson in Cameron Indoor and he'd surpass Coach K's success. We just have to give him the tools! It's not fair how fans expect so much from MA when he doesn't have the resources he needs!

That's like buying a Mercedes and compaing about gas going up 25 cents a gallon.

Maybe he needs a separate practice facility?

[revolution]

Maybe he needs a separate practice facility?

That would be a good start. Our current practice facility is not enough like Bud Walton Arena, so it handicaps our team's preparation and keeps our players from feeling comfortable at game time. It's helpful for recruiting, but we need another practice arena like our game arena to maximize our home court advantage.

MA can't get this turned around without the proper resources. We're punkin' ourselves here!

They pretty much do go for free. This the subject of a very long and redundant thread about student passes. Supposedly some 10,000 were purchased. For only $80 or so they can go to infinite home football and basketball games.

I don't think it's infinite.  I mean, there are only so many...

[hobhog]

Students don't go to the games anymore. Empty seats are empty seats.

[East Clintwood]

The students don't want to watch bad basketball either.

...hey, it takes a lot of effort to get to BWA. Plus, they are probably still traumatized.
