Title: Weekend ahead
Post by: sectionee on January 31, 2012, 09:16:02 PM
Finally, two home games this weekend.

I really hope the students have some quality/creative chants for the Detroit games.  Some of those guys should be pretty easy targets.  I'm excited for both games, but especially for Saturday and the HOF inductions!

i don't know if they should go after too many titan players... eli holman may throw the basket (and maybe a point guard or two) at the student section.

 :lol: Thats funny stuff.  I think you are right, he might just throw the entire basket or just lift up the whole bleacher section holding the students and throw them throw the roof of the ARC!

well, it'd be a good excuse to do some further remodeling of the arc.  ;)

I stopped by the ticket office about a half hour ago to pick up some extra tickets for tonight's and Sat's. games.  They told me there are less than 1000 tickets remaining for tonight's game and appx. 500 remaining for Saturday's game.  With anticipated walk-up sales at game time they anticipate "a big crowd" tonight and a sellout against WSU on Sat.  Sounds like the atmosphere for both games will be great.  Should be exciting!

A little upset that the internet browser on the new Sony Bravia does not allow flash content so I can not stream directly to the TV from the Horizon League site.  Still have to hook up the laptop but I guess that is better than the old days.

What happened to the big crowd? I maybe mistaken but I don't see a big crowd through the HL Network broadcast.

I missed the final score by one lousy point.  Why couldn't Ryan split that first pair of freebies!?!  As far as attendence goes...they must have swiped my card twice, I didn't that many in there tonight.  Hopefully they can pack it on Saturday!
