I feel sorry for ya students, IMO - Papa John's is TERRIBLE pizza.

I usually respect your opinion MM... But since when is ANY pizza terrible??

[ifarania]

Someone on one of their boards posted that the game now appears on a directv channel... But I think everyone should go to Carver within 300 miles of Peoria...

FCS Link

It looks like the on-line link has been posted on FCS. Out here on the east coast (NJ), it doesn't appear to be on Direct TV or Dish. Sad, when you consider that ODU is an east coast team.

Still good seats available.

Updated search for two seats, best available.......

$30 - Mezzanine, Section 13, Row WC

$25 - Mezzanine, Section 12, Row MZ1

$20 - Lower Bowl, Section 22, Row C

$14 - Upper Bowl, Section 1, Row 21

$9 - Upper Bowl, Section 1, Row 30

You can still get two $9 seats for the price of one until 4:30pm at the Shea ticket office. These are in upper bowl, side-court rows 23+ so you can probably get a little lower than row 30 by moving over a section or two from sections 1 and 13.

Some interesting notes at the end of this one.....

NFL star and former BU hoopster Marcus Pollard is planning to attend the game. Pollard was a senior at BU the only other time BU and ODU met on the basketball floor in the second round of the 1994 NIT. ... Financially, CIT organizer Joe Dwyer said the goal for the first-year tournament was to break even. ???I??™ve been told by the people doing the books that we??™re doing OK,??? he said. Each home team must pay the group $28,500 per game. That adds up to $427,500 to pay for officials and team travel expenses. Home teams keep their own gate receipts. ... Dwyer also said the hope for next year is to expand the 16-team tournament to 20 or 24 teams.

Check Channel 617. I would think it would be on all over the country.

[Da Coach]

As I posted in another post, the FCS channels (there are 3- FCS Atlantic, Central, and Pacific) have previously appeared on DirecTV channels 617, 618, and 619. So if it's not on 617, check the other 2.

Note that it says the game will be on DirecTV channel 613, but that is a mistake. It is 617.

I have also been told from my sources that he will be put in the spotlight at some point during the game. Make sure you go to see when. It should definitely get the crowd going.

So now I hear that he will be doing a promotional event. They just wouldn't tell me which one yet. Hope he does well.

Thanks! If I was in P-town I'd much rather be at the game. This is what I was looking for.
