zippyfan34 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Does anyone know when single game football tickets will go on sale? I'm trying to get a big group together (maybe 20) to go to the Indiana game (many of whom I am trying to convert to being a Zips fan). Also does anyone know what time the Indiana game will start? Bad planning on my part has a vacation coming back that day and need to know what time I need to make my flight to get to the game. I'm assuming it will be a noon start but wanted to see if anyone could confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Roo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 During open house/seat selection... the young lady told us the Morgan State game was afternoon and the Indiana game was a nite game (6:00??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinZip Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I like your thinking Zippyfan34! I'm gonna be doing the same thing as well, and bringing in anyone who could possibly be considered family. Hopefully others are thinking the same thing. If 5,000 students bring 4 family members/friends...well I'm no math major but I think that equals Can't Sucks.I've just been informed that it also equals 25,000...but no beer for grandma.

MaxZIP Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 It will be interesting to see how many season tickets are sold by then. Do you guys really think we could sell 25,000 single game tickets for the opening game much less for when the weather turns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 It will be interesting to see how many season tickets are sold by then. Do you guys really think we could sell 25,000 single game tickets for the opening game much less for when the weather turns?I sure as heck would hope we could sell out the first couple of games. I have a friend who just bought four season tickets because his kids want to go and he is now interested in going. When he was at UofA, I don't think he went to more than a handful of games in four years. I just saw him in Hilton Head and he told me the biggest reason he did not go to games was because he could not stand the Rubber Bowl. It kind of says a lot for the potential. He shelled out pretty good money for a guy who was never really interested.When the weather turns, cross your fingers for at least a sunny day. If they have sunny days, the sell outs go well into the fall. If not, they don't.Now the Zips need to put a good product on the field and people will continue to come.

Zipgrad01 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 During open house/seat selection... the young lady told us the Morgan State game was afternoon and the Indiana game was a nite game (6:00??)I have a feeling they will make the Morgan State a noon game.1. It is Morgan State and that doesn't really get people jazzed up for a big night game.2. They are opening the stadium and a day game makes more sense for a trial run and so people can enjoy the views of the stadium.3. OSU-USC game that night at 8pm. I doubt they want to try to draw the casual fan to watch UA play Morgan State when USC is in Columbus. That would be an attendance disaster. I have 6 season tickets and everyone I asked to go said they are waiting for the game time before they commit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 3. OSU-USC game that night at 8pm.Will this game be on Comedy Central? I went to the game in LA last year and tOSU was laughable at best. Literally, USC fans were laughing at them while watching them play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally, USC fans were laughing at them while watching them play.You certainly are a globe trotter. Please continue to keep us informed of all your travel. Two words........ "Marriott points"The trip to LA was pretty unique. I have a friend who is a professor at USC so I had a free ticket and a free place to stay. I have a brother who is an airline pilot so I had a free airline ticket to go to the game.The only problem was a hurricane hit Houston that weekend and Delta had to fly around passengers for other airlines. Buddy passes are stand by only. I spent that Sunday in LAX trying to get on a flight and it didn't happen. I asked the customer service rep what she thought and she said there was no way I was going to get on a flight on Sunday and I should come back Tuesday. When I said "Don't you mean Monday? It's only Sunday." she said, "I know what day it is, don't come back until Tuesday. You'll never get on." My luggage was already on the plane so I had no clothes or anything other than my computer and the clothes on my back. My friend had to come and pick me up and take me to Target to get clothes. I had to use like 40,000 Marriott points for the Marriott by LAX. It was like being in prison for two days because I had not car to get anywhere.I got on the last flight out of LAX on Tuesday for Atlanta and when I got there around 11:00 PM, my connection to Charlotte was cancelled. I had to use 20,000 more Marriott points to stay in the Marriott brand hotel that looks over the runway at the airport in Atlanta. I actually had to pull a real prick move because the hotels around the airport were full. I used my Marriott Platinum status to secure a room that someone else had already reserved, but I was in no mood to search around the city for a room.The joys of travel.......

I could make comments like that saying that 95% of the games we have ever played against a real D-1 opponent (aka non MAC or service academys of the world) have been far worse. Oh wait...we got slaughtered by 30+ AT HOME against ARMY a couple years ago!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy beating the MAC and horrible Big Ten teams every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy beating the MAC and horrible Big Ten teams every year.If I use your scenario of what a "good team" is, then we have never beaten one in our 20 year history as a D-1 school. How on earth can you or anyone else as an Akron fan make an OSU joke? If we were in OSU's shoes right now you would be a scarlet and grey homer talking about how great your team was, blah, blah, blah. I have to laugh at the loser programs that always make fun of the winning programs. I guess it makes the little guy feel tougher even though he has never won a fight in his life.
