And as usual, UM sports fans should be embarrassed with what we've seen...

on TV this week.

Our 9pm game vs. a top 5 team, Maryland, saw Crisler only about 2/3 full. Purdue, whose arena has 2,000 more than ours was filled for their 9pm game vs. a vastly overrated OSU team.

And in a week and a half, an 8-1 or 9-0 IU team will be coming to Crisler, for gulp....a 9pm game.
Hope we do these players and coaches right and get to Crisler.

Misrepresentation. Attendance is based on tickets sold, plus all nonticket bearing attendees. Concession workers and event staff all count towards attendance figures. I would like to see fan attendance based on the actual number of tickets scanned at the entry points.

Can't wait for IU Tursday. Given game is almost sold out, the usual 3-5000no shows/ empty seats won't be as big a hit to home court advantage. Huge game.
