Looks like a lot of folks moved down from the upper reaches to the empty seats in the lower level. There were a lot of empties early on. Maybe some that moved were students.

I was wondering the same thing. It's vague in my mind, but I think I read a few days ago where somebody mentioned Reik as being one of our players at one time. As I said ... very vague.

John Reik. 7'2" Stans signee. Was a five star but tore both ACLs. Ran like a damn baby giraffe the few times he saw the floor. Pronounced like weak.

I can see me in that pic and all my seats are full...LOL!

All kidding aside, Saturday was the loudest I have heard the Hump in many years and I hope we can do it again tomorrow night.

We will be there,,,, as I said before...... it is the product on the floor and BH & JC has to sell the program big time in the off season. BH has to sell himself to the fans and let everyone get to know him.

Long time reader, first time poster. I was curious to see everyone's take on what the attendance will be tomorrow night considering it's the biggest game on the men's side of things in 6 or 7 years. I'm a grad student and have been to every home game this season and am to the point where I don't know what else this team can do to get a packed house. Thought the crowd Saturday ended up being decent, but was pretty chapped all things considered that we've got a bubble team who's won 7 of their last 9 fighting their asses off for postseason play and we can't get a full crowd at 2:30 on a Saturday with great weather. Thoughts?

..........8,000 tonight. And I have one to two tickets available in the lower section I can't seem to sell.....and will likely go unused at game time. $20 per seat ain't bad for lower seats, but doesn't seem to be any interest in them.

If you're going to the game, go to the ticket office area and sell them there or give them away. Someone is always there doing that...

Get on twitter and follow the thread #hailstatetix they have people exchanging tickets just like yourself on there with video instructions on how to do it

Hit the nail on the head.

Also, I think the most tired excuse about attendance at this point is just keep winning. I understand that we've had an abysmal past 7 years, but these guys are competitive, talented, and fun to watch. Not to mention we're 21-8 (9-7) in the most competitive league in the country so winning is not an excuse any more. I'm right behind y'all with the fact that the students need to be better. Not all of them had the childhood I did where we were great in basketball, very competitive in baseball most years, and just flat had no chance with the pigskin. It's gonna take a group effort and this is a huge W the dawgs are about to get tonight!
