It’s Rutgers

Don’t be surprised

 

[blueoyster]

Many more were Michigan fans...at least in my section.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Did you stay for the whole game?

I'd cut the fans who showed up some slack. Many of them have been seeing the same broken record play for 28 yrs. now.

I get that but it's a 3 possession game with 3 minutes to play the team really needs energy from the fans with the game on the line. That's why I was surprised. I'm not criticizing them, but I was surprised.

You know how many three possession games these people have been through in 28 yrs.? Only to see them lose time and time again. It's like Pavlov's dog at this point. They've been preconditioned over a 28 yr. period that we aren't going to pull this one out. Not saying Pike's not the man to get the job done but 4 wins isn't going to trumpet that 28 yrs. of pain conditioning.

Hell, in football under Ash I'm getting preconditioned that I'm going to be leaving at halftime. Because we're usually getting blown out and he's only been here for three years.

I wasnt surprised...seen it before from the RAC crowd....I never got a sense though the crowd believed that RU could win this game..I didnt, we got as close as 7 I think but we really never were able to make that shot to get things interesting

If Baker hit the three to cut it to five then I think maybe. Instead it bounced off and Michigan got an easy 2 and just like that it was 10 instead of 5

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

If Baker hits that 3, the place would've exploded. We had many, many chances to really take it to them. Unfortunately way too many chip shots didn't fall.

Also, from what I saw as well, most of the people leaving with 3 minutes left were Michigan people. The Rutgers fans started filing out once they pushed it back to 10.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I am not what type of arrangements we have with the secondary ticket sources. I know we are involved, but don’t know to what extent and how much $ they incrementally add.

With that said.....100 level ticket buyers should NEVER be allowed to sell their tickets for profit to opposing fans. If you are next to a season ticket holder who sells please tell them to cut it out.

Until Rutgers recruits consistent 3 point shooters overcoming opponents double digit leads is a near impossible task.In high pressure situations Michigan had answers because they have scorers at every position that can create and make shots off the dribble.

This irks me also. I have never sold a football or hoops ticket to the enemy.

Same thing happened at the 8 minute mark when Rutgers cut it to 8.

I thought he shot it way to quick in the shot clock and the situation begged for Eugene to get the ball.

Unfortunately Michigan leaves you very little margin for error.

As long as their Big stays on the floor they can beat anyone.

Nope, I have zero idea, but they're gonna be mad at themselves when they Pavlov dog it and Rutgers comes back and wins one of those games.

Asked and answered in the game thread. Seen it MANY games,

Sec 113
Row B
4 to 6 seats starting end aisle center court.

Row B and c filled with UM yellow hoodies last night.

They are out there on a few sites.

Russ,
What do you see as the missing parts needed to get the Gators back to a top program.

 

[TDIrish27]

Gators were in Final 8 2 years ago no ?

I'm in 114 and I never have and never will sell out to opposing fans, but there are many in my section who do. Sometimes its a question of finances. Not everyone in the 100s is a fat cat. I know quite a few people who pool donations and resources and share 100-level tickets to make it more affordable. Those folks can pay for almost all of their season tickets by selling a couple of the big games on StubHub. I think only winning will cure most of this problem, as fans won't want to miss RU beating the best.
