IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
I hope the fans, students, staff and locals realize how important showing up this Thursday/Saturday is. Winning 3 straight on the road is no easy feat even if you were playing "Sisters of the Poor" which we were not. Our team is so much fun to watch. They play with so much energy and team is more important than self. They love large crowds at home to feed off of. Forest is playing his best basketball as sixth man and will hit 2,000 points Thursday. I don't know what it would take to get about 5,000 (out of 20,000) students to show up, but this is the time to pull out all stops by all of us to promote game as if Luke Combs will be parking cars, working in concessions and will sing the National Anthem. Get excited, spread the word, show up - don't let anything stop you. The time has come! "it's great to be a Mountaineer basketball fan"

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
Downplaying our opponents as bums isn’t really the tone we should be taking. It makes our conference sound small time. Coastal and Georgia State are typically really good in this conference. I’m not saying we have to pretend like we’re playing an ACC schedule but if we talk about it like it’s a little deal other people will believe that it’s a little deal then question why they should care.
disregard basically my entire post here. I didn’t want to take it down because I have a few personal friends who don’t watch our games because they don’t believe or opponents are worthy of their time, so I think it still applies to some fans, but not to the OP. I misread him and spoke out of my rear.

I didn't read 9steelman's post as downplaying our opponents as bums at all.

I think his point that winning three straight on the road against anybody is tough, and we weren't playing a bunch of weak sisters.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
Arkansas State is a strong opponent with one of the conference's best players in Norchad Omier. I really hope student groups and organizations are campaigning this week. Boisterous crowds can really make a difference in college hoops. I remember when I was a student not too long ago The Local was the place to be on Thursday nights, students flocked there. Would be awesome if they would give students who were in attendance at the basketball game special drink deals or something. No idea, just spitballing.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
This is a great idea. Offer discounts at establishments in town if show proof of attendance. Have to use with a week of game. May get a few more to show up.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
I think the thought process is it will impact free throw shooting, especially in the second half. It might also have something to do with revenue. I loved the sidelines student section when I was in school. Catch a game during the week and have UNC and Duke on t.v. which always impacts attendance you could basically move down to court side.Appstate88 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 7:04 pmPut the students on the sidelines not the court end lines.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
Anyone here that’s a high country local or a student, what specifically have you seen the university or the athletics department doing to promote this game?

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
Put the band behind the basket and give the students the lower section opposite the benches (and the two end zones, if more show up.) Better look, better atmosphere./\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 7:14 pmI think the thought process is it will impact free throw shooting, especially in the second half.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
We have a group of three traveling up from the Triad and we're excited! Just wondering about parking...from what I was able to gather, it looks like we should be able to park in the Rivers St deck, can anyone confirm?
GO! FIGHT! KICK ASS!

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
We will be there! Have not missed a home game this year. I am sure glad the students are back, we sure missed them over the holiday break.
I don't know if the student section needs to or even wants to move. They are doing a great job giving the visiting team hell with their proximity to their bench. They have been quite the distraction to some of them and have befriended some too. They also are in perfect position to mess with their shots and especially their free throws in the 2nd half. They have been doing an awesome job at that too! The coaches and players enter and exit the court from that end and they have gone up in the stands to thank the students after games this year. It is awesome to see and I look forward to see what they do this week.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
I’m here for dueling student sections. One at each end. Give ‘em hell at both free throw lines. Call em “Mountaineer menace” and “melee”. They could do it right now if they “restrict” students to the lower bowl. Both lower bowl base line sections would be PACKED.

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
That's an awesome idea! You know, we may not be far from being able to do that either if we keep it up. There were a lot of students on that other end (Sections 5 & 6) from the Mountaineer Menace at the last game and they were getting rowdy. One of the security staff went up and asked to to keep it "R" rated. Also, most of the Student Athletes and Coaches from our other sport teams already sit on the other side of that goal in Section 8. It was great to see Coach Cardwell and his family at the last home game there! Here is a shot of it from the twittters

Re: IT'S TIME TO SHOW UP!
Yes you can park in the parking decks after 5pm. Also can turn up Hill Street beside the Holmes Center and park in the lot up top there. Gonna be a rowdy night I hope!!
