As a member of the AK-Rowdies, I was at the game and down in the floor seats. I think the reason for the poor turnout for Saturday's game was, in part, due to the 11 AM start time. But I think the reason the student turnout is down this season is because poor leadership from the heads of the Rowdies. They do nothing more than send out e-mails reminding students when games are scheduled. In past years they would collaborate with the athletic department to come up with promotions to get more students (Rowdie members or not) to the game. Just not the effort that there used to be.
Now down to 318 tickets remaining. With walk-up sales it should be a sell-out tomorrow (assuming student turnout is what they are estimating, whatever that may be).
It takes the number of tickets sold plus an estimated student attendance number. I think it is pretty accurate. The Coastal Carolina game was almost dead on.
Update: Its down to 603 remaining now.
Agreed. Almost made the games seem less meaningful. Although when I was at the games, they didn't feel that way at all. I enjoyed every game (except the Ohio game).
I didn't know where to post it, so I started a new thread...The video staff just posted a great season highlight video that I think everyone should check out.
Coach D is changing up the lineup, at least for today. Its Betancourt, Ibitayo, McAdams, Treadwell, and Forsythe... I don't understand the reasoning for it. Especially starting Deji. But I guess we'll see how it goes.
