Is the game close to being sold out? Are ticket prices around $27?

As an aside, SMU has a shuttle to the game with dinner for $65.

I intend to walk up and buy a ticket. So far so good regarding get time off (from other responsibilities) to come up for the big game.

From talking to the lady at the ticket office when I bought my tickets, reserved seating is very close to selling out. Endzone (non reserve general admission) is all you will most likely be able to get at the game. I expect the student section to be packed and probably overflow into the general admission areas. This game will set our new attendance record.

And PLEASE! FOR GOD'S SAKE don't make some grand announcement about it.

If anyone with the athletic department is reading this, just announce it like you would any other statistic.

This game WILL NOT set our new attendance record. Maybe for Fouts, but our home game attendance record is 45,923 vs Texas A&M. I'm with Silver, just announce the attendance...PERIOD ph34r.gif

Maybe I can get a scalped ticket?  I'm not driving 40 miles to sit in the endzone.  Isn't there still a track at Fouts?

laugh.gif Yes, there is still a track. Maybe for this game we could rent some bleachers to let additional fans sit there... Hmmm....

Maybe the Coogs still have some bleachers left over from a few years ago when we played the Longhorns.

The game should be a barn burner. Do the Ponies really travel that well? They don't travel nearly as well as TCU. I listened to the BU/TCU game and the Frogs seemed to have as many fans as the Bears.

Am I the only one worried that there will be more Pony fans than folks in Green?

I would say after much consideration of all the facts as they appear to me that is a probable yes!!!!

I invited the most hardcore SMU fan I know to the game... to tailgate with my group to eat and drink like king. You know what he said? He and his wife already have plans for the UT game.

So there you have it. The schools have at least ONE thing in common wink.gif

In reality, they don't pull in the fans for their home games, I can imagine them travelling better than our home crowd.

Expect maybe 500 SMUt fans. They don't follow their team in Highland Park, they sure won't follow them to Denton.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
