BU exhibition game vs. Quincy- Saturday 11/6 at 7:05pm

[AZ BU Fan]

Good luck tomorow BU vs Quincy from Arizona.

Stick to honing your offensive and defensive fundamentals.

No show boating if you take a big league. This is a 'working' holiday from your preseason practice routine. Work on becomming a dominant team vs taking the night off to play 'Showtime'...

Save the 'showboating' (alley oop passes, no look passes, monster dunk attempts, one on one offense moves, etc) for the last minute of your upcoming blowout win in the 2010-11 MVC Conference Tourney.

Looking forward to the game, especially a chance to see more of the new players. If I recall correctly, Anthony Thompson was able to play in the exhibition games before they redshirted him, so I would hope Andrew Davis sees the floor during the game. He looked real promising though definitely needs to put on some more pounds.

And since this is an exhibition, I'm definitely wanting to see some potential combos like two post players on the floor at the same time and TB at the 3 if he plays.

picked up tickets yesterday afternoon and they said less than 1500 had been sold. I wonder why they feel the need to charge $15 for tickets when regular season tickets can be had for less. Really think they would be better served to charge $5 and fill the place up.

Yes, a freshman player can play in exhibitions and still redshirt even without a medical excuse. This does not apply to upperclass players.
A medical redshirt can still be taken if the player doesn't play in more than 20% of the team's scheduled games, or later than the halfway point of the season.

--Correction -- a couple years ago the medical redshirt rule was revised..

The three criteria are now...

1- a season ending injury or illness thus you cannot "come backand compete while healthy then quit in time to redshirt
2- cannot play past the mid-point of the season as determined by the number of games scheduled
3- cannot compete in more than 30% of the team's scheduled contests (which at the D-I level, most teams schedule 28-30 games or so thus that means 8 or 9 games)
but NCAA reviews and rules on each case individually...

I refuse to go on the ground that I feel like I am being ripped off.

This is a question mostly for the out-of-towners (I'm looking at you AZBU, SFP, Houston, etc.). I know DC said he wasn't sure if there was video for the game, do any of you guys know about video? If not, do you listen on the wmbd website? What's the URL for that site?

I'm in Madison and was hoping to make it down, but work has me flying out at 8am tomorrow Gotta at least HEAR how my Braves are.

Thanks!!

How is 15.00 for a game being ripped off when you get free parking plus concessions are more then half off the civic centers price?
Guess you are not that great of a fan.

[Da Coach]

I do not believe there is video.

Guess not.

I believe I read before that Les doesn't broadcast Exhibitions on video so that season opponents can't get any more video than they have the rights to by the NCAA.

Maybe $15 doesn't seem like much to you, but when you talk about taking my 2 boys, my fiance & her 2 boys, that's $90 for an exhibition game. Now if the tickets were $5 apiece we would be spending $30. HUGE difference in a down economy!!

I paid for 5 which is 75, well worth it when you compare it to other things like a night out at the bar approximately 50-100 , I do believe they could have priced it at 50.00 for a family of 4 or more which is at least putting more people in these seats.
