It's only TU-PU, not like we're playing anybody good like IPFW or Butler. It's just the Rockettes.

Hmm, maybe I will still be able to come about 5:30 and sit in the lower section. :-\

If those tickets are not gone by today, they should announce that they are now available to be sold to the public. If the students don't want to go, screw them. Sell them.

You could get a lot of money for some of those kids.

Yeah. Some of them have a partial education. That has to be worth something.

Might as well sell them! I seriously can't believe that number and once again am upset with our student body...

Not that I am defending the student body here, but lets look at the marketing from the athletic department. If I were them I would be in the Union, Olscamp, and anywhere else on campus where there are students passing the tickets out. A small Ad in the BGNews is not going to move all of those tickets. I am more disapointed with the athletic marketing department more this year than any other year I have been here. Even when the football team went 2-9 there were people from the department out trying to get anyone they could to the stadium. That, more than the turn out of the student body, is the most pathetic thing here

I could see a few student tickets being around, but 800? Very sad, lets hope the last-minute types pick them up.

Yo, Finally 04, check you personal mail.

There has been tables set up in some dorm lobbies and in the Union with signs that say BGSU Men's Basketball and they were passing out tickets. Of course the people sitting behind the tables weren't greeting anyone or saying anything, just letting people walk by. Are they not allowed to confront students?

And after they hand out tickets all over campus, they can come back out Saturday and hold their hands and walk them to the game.

How much should the marketing department have to do? My gawd, if you are a student at BG and read the school newspaper (which I am sure the majority do), you know that the basketball team is doing pretty well this year. You also know that Turdledo is BG's main rival. At some point, the student body needs to take it upon themselves to seek out something like tickets to a huge basketball game without it having to be marketed directly to them. How about some school spirit? Take some initiative.

This is not a hard question. As much as it takes to get 1400 tickets passed out. That doesn't take a degree from Yale to figure out. It is sometimes hard to get excited about an event that the department putting it on does not seem excited themselves about. We can, and must do better!
