I am jonzin for a "real" garbage plate!!!!!

[superman57]

no the farthest parking lots are 1/4 mile from the gym there are a lot of close parking spots that you'll probably be able to park

[keystonelight]

ok i've been knocking the parking situation which obviously isn't great...but supermans right 1/4 mile isn't bad... i'm a big indians fan and haha...getting to a game from underneath towercity is a hike! and everyone does it.

and yes its been over a week since i've had a plate and the word jonzin describes it very well

[keystonelight]

now about the seating at fisher... i don't know how they calculated ticket numbers... but hears my thoughts of what they should do

fisher just got new seats and a new scorers table setup and it is nice...really nice but if they want to pack more people into that gym i think they will have to sit the players on the bottom row of the bleachers like they used to and maybe line up the seats on the baselines? gotta maximize the space.  Cheerleaders don't need to be there  they dont' say much anyhow

I feel bad for the 2 teams from ohio that will play at 6 pm friday. I really cant see how there will be more than a couple hundred people in the stands. As a Brockport fan i would love to go to both games and settle in. The way they are running it and clearing the gym after the first game makes it nearly impossible to do that. If i decide to watch the whole first game i will get kicked out of the gym and put to the end of the line to enter the 2nd game. As a basketball fan who wouldnt want to watch both games so that you can size up the competition. If you want to get good seats for the 8 pm game you cant afford to go to the first game. My opinion is that this is just a joke and the this all could have been avoided if the games were in Bport. Seeding is only the third criteria so the fact that fisher is the 1 and bport the 2 really is no big deal. Both teams are 24-5 and split during the reg season, bport won at fisher and fisher won on a neutral court. A few years back at bport during the sweet 16 you bought one ticket got your seat and enjoyed 2 great bball games. This garbage that is going to take place fri night is a joke, i dont think this was really thought out to well. I would guess that the line to get in the fisher- bport game will start to form around 6pm? It makes no sense to buy a ticket to the 1st game and have to leave half way through the first half to get in line does it? Oh well it will be nice sat night watching Brockport play at fisher with no fisher fans in the house!!!!!!!!

I think you'll be mistaken.

[formerbant10]

I'm going with Pat on this one.

Fisher isn't selling tickets to the Wooster game because they sent all the tickets out to Ohio and don't expect any back. 

[Pat Coleman]

If Brockport wanted to host, it should have won the SUNYAC.

[FisherDynasty]

Agreed with Pat.  Although it does stink for the fans that it will be rather tough to get in and especially tough to watch both games, the ncaa tourny isnt about the fans, it is about the team.  Yes Fisher should build a new larger gym, but not ever being able to host because some fans won't be able to get in would be a shame.

from the mouth of g-d himself...hosting secitonals is supposed to be an award for a great regular and postseason...Fisher won the E8 and the E8 tourny and brockport dropped the ball. so be happy that it is in Rochester and you don't have to drive to Ohio to go see brockport lose

[fisheralum91]

oucheeeee.
PC coming up with the zinger!

[bports]

If you want to call dropping the ball winning 14 straight games and losing in the sunyac final when your best defender and starting guard shawn harris couldnt play, i guess thats what bport did. I have my tix for fridays game so i could really care less but wouldnt it be nice to be able to watch both games. Can anyone give me an example of another sectional clearing the gym after the first game? I might be wrong but i doubt that is happening, the bottom line is the gym is horrible and these games should not be played there. Not to mention having the game in bport would shave about 40 minutes off the 2 ohio teams trip. On a side note lets do a little over under for fri nights 2nd game. How many asst coaches will be sitting on fishers bench? The back number on this will be set at 8. For the record i will take the over.

[fisheralum91]

bports,
can we give up the hosting crap and get to the actual game?

[FisherDynasty]

Bports whats the over/under on Whitmore actually shaking hands with Fisher after getting beat?

[bjgiants6]

Bport, what happened in '02 when Brockport hosted the sectional?  I don't remember them clearing out after the 1st game. All I remember was spectators buying tickets for Saturdays game after Brockport won Friday night. That was an unbelieveable weekend. I still haven't forgot it.
