2023-2024 Season

[mbenecke]

Apparently the athletic department is not "currently" selling single game tickets for the Ohio State home game on 1/6. I'm hopeful that they will eventually, but right now the only option to get tickets to that game is to buy a mini-plan, which contains tickets to that one and 2 other games. It would be a good deal if I had the option to choose which games the other 3 were, but the fact that it has set dates might prevent me from buying tickets to the Ohio State game at all, since I can't go on December 9 or January 20 like the deal wants me to.

I think it's a good effort to boost attendance otherwise, but without the flexibility to pick your other 2 games, it makes it impossible for me to get in the door for a single game. Feels like they should tweak that a bit. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to purchase a single-game ticket.

JP, did McMahon give us thumbs up or thumbs down?

Thumbs middle. Cites the hazing investigation, player suspensions, and now Stoever injury as major hurdles to overcome so early in the season. He expects them to finish no higher than 40th in Pairwise. He believes they're better with Scardina and Fyten back but notes their advanced stats are rather poor.

Interesting tidbits about us dressing an injured player against WMU so we could simply have enough bodies to skate a full team (they wouldn't have played) and also that Norris and Stoever are expected back in the next few weeks.

Parker was the injured player who dressed against Western and was listed as a forward on the 4th line. His role was to sit in the box to serve any bench minors or misconducts so we wouldn't lose a skater. We played that Western series with only 6 d-men and basically 3 lines. We played well through 50 min each night then ran out of gas. That's when Western pulled away.

…and just like that, one day later, single game tickets for the OSU game are now on sale. Thanks for reading my post, DVDM.

For those living in the Columbus area or willing to travel, OSU has a two-for-one ticket offer for the Jan. 5 game. Use promo code TMN241 and you can get two tickets for the price of one in the lower bowl.

BG leads the league in faceoff wins?!

The Nachos are throwing in the towel on having a single site "Frozen Faceoff" and are heading to campus sites like the CCHA and B1G.

Any word on when Stoever might return? I know he's essentially week-to-week, but lips have been tight on his status.
