MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[oldwittfan]

We must buy our tickets at Wooster when we get their.  I believe some tickets are saved for parents at each location.  Anyone can ask for a ticket in the visitors section at Wooster.  The area available to visiting teams has become smaller with less good seats each year.

By the way, I would expect that we will see Wittenberg's athletic director control fans a lot more than is true at Wooster where the students seem to get uglier and more profane each year.

I don't know how it works at Wooster; wish I had asked when I spoke to them a few days ago.  I do know that the visiting fans always seems to sit in the area behind the visitors bench (except during the preseason four-team tournaments, when it's a free-for-all), which is on the side of the court where the seats are reserved (numbered) seats.  But whether a certain number of tickets have either been sent to the opponents box office or are held at Wooster especially for them, I don't know.  I would hope so.

Last year (at least), Wooster hosted a pre-game luncheon/mixer for fans of both teams.  They did this for both the football and basketball games.  The football shindig was in a tent on the back patio of Lowry, and was decorated partly in Black and Old Gold and partly in Red and White.  Those in attendance got little knicknacks (like little footballs) in the colors of their team.  It was surreal; kind of like trying to make the Jets and Sharks socialize at the dance, and equally as successful.  The basketball mixer was in the auxiliary gym, but I didn't go to that.

In order to get into these events, you had to preregister and pay in advance.  The admission included a ticket to the game.  So at least to that extent, Witt fans could obtain tickets in advance for the football and basketball games.

The section of lower stands behind the Witt bench were reserved for Witt patrons, with signs indicating as much.  The rest of the lower seating on that side of the gym is the where the season ticket holders sit.  The lower seats opposite the Witt seats were designated for Woo students.  The rest of the gym was, I believe, general admission.  I didn't notice anyone trying to enforce any of these seating restrictions, although compliance probably wasn't a problem.

not saying anyone cares... but   

Earlham 26
Kenyon  24

with 4:20 to go in the 1st half

[Li'l Giant]

Equally irrelevant considering the Witt/Wooster matchup looming.

Denison 28
Wabash 40 Half

[earlhamalum]

more irrelevant as wabash game? maybe maybe not?   18:29 left in the 2nd half

Earlham 38
Kenyon  29   

Li'll Giant just let me know if Denison has played more then 8 players... because if so then just put down a Win for Bash!  At least i think that is the scouting report DF gives us!

[Li'l Giant]

That's funny, I was going to make a remark about the number of players Denison has played but I missed the halftime stats because I was paying attention to the Texas/A&M game. I have no idea how many Denison has played.

LOL, I love it.  A dangerous, maybe not so wise, attempt, though. 

I can see an event like that turning into a sort of Fort Sumter, with a full-fledged civil war ensuing somewhere around the campus of a very surprised OWU as the forces of The Confederacy of Springfield and The Northern Army of Wooster meet in arms.

Last post about this game... i'm sure tomorrow or later tonight when i get back... this post will be 3 pages away.

Earlham 59
Kenyon- 47

with 4:44 left in the 2nd half.   This isn't on Team-Line again, because of the Darn Girls game, i would go on a woman's basketball hatred like Billy_pilgram, but I do actually enjoy watching Women's Basketball.  *granted I usually hope for the cute girls to do well. *sexiest pig (maybe) but I still enjoy good basketball no matter what level.   Plus I have Bill_pilgram on Speed dial and he's at the game.

Lil'Giant, i think this weeks Earlham/Wabash game is going to be a BIG one for one of these teams to Host a tourny game!  I also could go on for a while about Rude fans... Wabash student body is always using foul language, I hope those kids don't kiss their moms with those mouths.  On the other hand I give them credit for being there!

[Li'l Giant]

EA,

I'm not going to defend the foul-mouth Wabash students (because it does look bad) but I'm not going to condemn them either (because I was one of them in the late 90s). 

Wally and/or others can confirm that it would be awfully hypocritical for me to point out any fan language that crosses the line.

That being said, the game will be HUGE.

[CentralOH]

Anyone have a final from Crawfordsville?  It didn't look too good for the Big Red at the half, but maybe they made a run...

[Li'l Giant]

Denison did go on a run but Wabash fended them off.

Wabash is up 91-80 in the waning moments.

[Li'l Giant]

And it's final.

Denison 80
Wabash 92

[wally_wabash]

I would only let you point out said language if you did so from Neal Fieldhouse in Greencastle with a mic and an amp.   

Oh what fun that trip was.  Ah, the memories.  

[CentralOH]

Thanks LG.  I thought it would be awfully tough for Denison to sneak in there and steal one - I'll be interested to read the recap.
