79 Bull

So, we discussed on here somewhere how it appeared that the FAU MBB game was sold out, at least through the second level with no tickets available for sale.  Well, all of a sudden 70% of the second level is now available for sale on ticketmaster.  It now looks like any other future game.  So, their expected following is not so great after all.

GO BULLS!

Needed one more point against Wichita. 

10 out of 11!  When's the last time we won 91% of our last 11 games??

GO BULLS!

Temple's HC is about to blow a fuse

Fisher is way too animated toward the refs and will never get them to listen to him during a tantrum.  I like CAAR's low key discussions with the refs to make his point about a previous call.

With the new baseball stadium going in down the street, I'd think it makes more since for the ownership group to keep the Rowdies where they are

Yeah, and too much overlap with the seasons for changing over baseball to soccer.  If they stay at Al Lang (which is fine for lower-level soccer), I still believe playing a few games per season at the OCS would be both great for both the Rowdies/Rays and USF.  I bet they could draw 10k to 15k in North Tampa on a few Saturday nights with the Rays and USF marketing behind the games. The student endzone would be for the rowdy supporters and the other endzone could be family general admission while selling the lower-level sidelines reserved. 

Are the refs calling more questionable fouls than recent games? It seems like a lot though I’m too lazy to check the box score.

I'd be so down for that. Give season ticket holders a pre-sale shot at tickets or something like that if they can

You can have my tickets to wrestling.

I know we talk about us getting promoted however what about the Rowdies? Do they plan on moving up to the MLS or are they happy playing in the minors.

I believe they’ve been denied twice prior to the Rays ownership.

Slim chances, but I wouldn't count on it.  I have a hunch that the Rowdies move to the new Rays ballpark once complete.

I agree they'll probably play in the Rays new park, but still could have 3 out of 17 games per year in Tampa.

Great ideas!  Work with the Rays to maybe have a few Rowdies games per season in Tampa?

Wow, that is interesting ....... there are few resale tix there but that's it. StubHub has what looks like similar tix to TM but also some in the Club area, which I hate seeing. Nothing in the 300's though, which is odd if all the lower ones are sold ....... maybe I underestimated that game's interest.

I too underestimated the interest in FAU locally.  Assuming since there is a GA section this year, that the 300 level would just be part of that and you won't see seats for sale up there even if they plan on utilizing it for a game.  Not sure, but again I'm pretty amazed.

GO BULLS!

What is "national live"?

I do believe that game will probably sell out.

The only remaining home game you can't buy a ticket to (except general admission) on ticketmaster.  Interesting.

They were counting with their hand down by their waist. Closed fist, open fingers, etc. No arm movement though. 

Interesting.  Didn't notice that at all.  Thanks!

Side Note on free throws... I've been counting Pryor's free throw times lately, and I watched the referees' counts closely on all his FT attempts today. Even though it seems like he's close to a 10 second violation, he's pretty consistently around 7 seconds, so he actually has 2 seconds to spare. Whatever works for him I hope he keeps doing it!

I was also counting yesterday at the game.  I had him at 8 seconds every time.  I watched all 3 refs each time and no one was counting seconds with their arm like for an inbound 5 second watch.  If they are not outwardly counting in some fashion, I'm not sure they could ever call 10 seconds. 

Game atmosphere was pretty good.  Line was Bulls ~4.5. That’s a bet I’m okay losing!

GO BULLS!

We should sign a 1 and 1 with SMU now for the first open dates for each of us before other schools come calling.

I think you guys are dreaming.  If we can keep this up and be in most games late, we'll be NIT bound.

GO BULLS!

AVERAGING 40,000 will help.

If we can get 50k+ for Miami, then averaging over 40k next season is realistic.

GO BULLS!

I wonder if fsu will have to sue the sec or big 10 to let them in.

I personally think it would be hilarious for them to go through all of this, pay someone over a $100m to get out of the ACC and the only invite comes from the Big 12.

I hope people show up big on Sunday. This team deserves it

They really do but I'm afraid with the Bucs playing at 3:00, there will be no casual fans and many of the STMs won't show.  Hope I'm wrong.  Students, however, should have a good showing up in to the second level.

GO BULLS!

WOW!  Anywhere to see the post game presser live?.

I couldnt resist memphis -10.5 for $50

I took Bulls +10.5.  Turned off the game at halftime and just checked back in to see the comeback.  From 20 down to 4 down.

Yikes!  

Anyone not using their club seats for WSU on 1/21?  Thank you!
