Geno pleads for fan supprt

[BradleyJD]

Left Green Bay this morning after watching wild card win.....heading right to BU game.

[Gary the Gargoyle]

So now we are comparing the MVC to the Big Ten.... O...k. Smh.

The product on the floor, no. The ability for their fans to attend games on Sunday afternoon, yes.

[RedSeaElite1]

I'll be there today. After the first 2 conference wins I decided to make the trip down to peoria for the weekend! Let's get off to a 3-0 start!

[lefty]

We will be there

[BuBraves55]

Would it be too much to ask for a "free will-y" sign?

[Gary the Gargoyle]

We will be there

I suppose that I'll tear myself away from the Seattle - Washington football game too.

Yeah....I'm really glad Green Bay played last night...the DVR thing is nice but spoiled by the updates at CC

[shaunguth]

I think there will be a good crowd. But it hurts that the game is scheduled at such an odd time on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah....and as far as the general public goes.....I'm wondering why the radio advertisements continued to say Saturday 1/6. Then, when that finally got corrected, I believe they got the gametime wrong.

[Da Coach]

Yes, I even heard Dave Snell say Saturday 1/6 on his last postgame show, though he corrected it later.
And in fairness, to Bradley, this game was scheduled by the MVC to get a slot on ESPNU. But the schedule still has only 1 Saturday night game, which we need more of!

Anyway- the one advantage of a Sunday afternoon game is that there are no high schools playing at that time.
So, I hear we will have several very good recruits at the game today!

My point is that the old reliable fans will be there. I will be at the PCC today! However, I just got back from a playoff party/cookout. --one of two NFL cookout parties I have been invited to today-- The casual sports fan, which is what is needed to increase attendance above the reliable fan base, has way too many distractions to be bothered by a MVC game on a Sunday.

I'm DVRing the footall game and I sure hope the CC doesn't spoil it for me. Ugh.

Let's hope none of the recruits just can't miss a football game.

[Chico]

iphone is more reliable than Paul H. Just looks bad for a coach to plead for more people to turn out for a big game.

Looks worse for Bradley fans to be mad because they have to miss a football game because of a Bradley game. How many Bradley fans who would be able to make it to the Bradley game are Washington or Seattle fans? GO BRAVES

[Bobby Parker]

Dear Beninator,

Do you really think Bradley chose to play this game on a Sunday afternoon? The league schedule is done by the Missouri Valley Conference and works within available television windows, as well as available dates at the Peoria Civic Center.

Sincerely,

BP

there were a lot of walk ups and the lobby was crowded - but that still pushed the attendance total only to around 7300...but we were loud...
