WBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[jdean]

If things go according to the script, Mount will be hosting a football playoff game the weekend of one of the women's early home games. They usually delay the start of the BBall game to accomodate we dual sport fans. That allows me time to offer hugs to as many visitors as need comforting in their loss, walk across the street, take about 12 layers of clothes off, be one of fifty people standing for the National Anthem and watching the game. The BBall game is a weak sister to beating Wheaton, Augustana, etc in football.

although i know nothing about Mount basketball. A good way to get fans for the game would be to publicize the Mount bball game at the football game and offer at the least free hot chocolate, coffee, tea etc. at the bball game...just an idea

[jdean]

Mount bball, men or women, don't rival the football program. There have been a couple decent post-season teams for both, but the reality is they're around .500
teams. This is football country. The fans show up if one of the bball programs has a real good team, and that's it.

[Wydown Blvd.]

yeah i figured that with the reference to "50 fans" in the stands for the bball game. and i know mount football is HUGE. so i figured if you can get a few more fans for bball out of some announcements, maybe draw a few people/students for a couple hrs...

[Pat Coleman]

More fans? Heck, just get the football team to show up.

[diehardfan]

All 400 of them 

[Wydown Blvd.]

lol quadruple the fan count...

Statement games this past week.  BW and Wilmington continue to flick away over rated Capital and neophyte Ohio Northern.  Guess it come down to the Jackets and Quakes once again.

[brutus]

Bottom feeders again the bottom feeders...Marietta, new coach, same old thing. Heidelberg, old coach, same old thing.

[GoCap]

So much for "BW and Wilmington flicking away overrated Capital."  Great pair of games by the Crusaders.  Keep it rolling Cap.
