I have a feeling that we are going to be STRONG tomorrow. There is nothing but talk about the game everywhere on campus today. I've heard of many-many people that will be skipping classes to wait in line and I'm afraid that my terribly early time for going to game (to get my seats) will be negated by crazed-out fans for tomorrow. This has yet to be a problem all season. Its exciting.
We ARE Pumped up! We Are Marquette!
-
It better be, if not it will truly show that today's students are indeed hairy wet cats.
-
One good sign. Both sections of my class tomorrow asked if we could move it to tonight so that they could line up for good seats. Personally, I was pleased because it was going to be tight for me to get to the game. Go Marquette!

No chance I would even think about going to class instead of this game if I was still in school.
-
I'm skipping my once-a-week senior capstone for this game.
-
I took the day off work to go stand in line, its going to be a great game. I can't wait!
Lets go MU!
-
The students will be LOUD for this kinda game, what about the rest of the BC? I think thats a bigger concern?
-
Hopefully DaShonte Riley will be impressed
-
This is gonna be an awesome game!! As a recent alumni who has student tickets... I am very nervous about getting a semi-decent seat as I have to work most of the day tomorrow... DAMNIT!! Regardless, it'll be awesome to be there and enjoy the game!!! The whole arena better be going NUTS for the entire game, not just in little bursts either!!
-
How early are people lining up? Do I need to skip my 1 o'clock class to get a good seat?

Yes.

haha i get to stroll in around 4:30 or 5:00 eat a hearty bradley center meal and sit closer to the court than all y'all ;D
-
I'll be in the back of the upper deck. 5 hours in line and skipping two classes to be sober with a good seat versus going to class and then going downtown for happy hour and stumbling into the upper deck...easy decision.
-
Hoping the boss will let me sneak out a little early so I can grab a few libations before the game. Gotta love having a reserved seat! :)
-
I know my night class tmrw. is pretty much going to have single digit people there (probably just the MBA students). However, I think the campus is going to be a dead zone by 2PM, since it seems like all the students I've talked to or overheard are heading down sometime after 12 or so.
Since I don't think students are allowed to line up on Bradley Center grounds more than 6 hours prior to tipoff, I wouldn't be surprised to see students camping out on the sidewalks behind the Cell and the Milwaukee Theatre if you drove down State Street mid-morning tomorrow a la the overnight campout for the Pitt Gameday game in 2007.
God bless reserved seats this time of year :)

Agreed. I think its the Alums that are gonna have to worry about being the so called pu****s. The students will represent. Not sure about the rest.
No offense to the Alums on this board (as I'm sure you all are loud), but after traveling to Nashville for the Tenn game and to ND for that game...Those old people were LOUD and got things going more than the twice per game (if that) we get.
-
Were you at the same ND game that I was?????Their non students were dead quiet. Even at the end when it was a close game they weren't standing or yelling.
I haven't heard the students at the BC have to yell stand up to our old people at all this year like they did at ND
-
I am ready for this game as well. One advantage of being the boss, taking the afternoon off and driving up from Chicago to have a few downtown before the game.

I have no clue where you were sitting, but they got riled up in my whole HALF of the stadium about 15+ times throughout the game. We're lucky to get our older crowd to stand up 5 times in a game.
-
Yeah, myself and 4 other alums are taking a half day tomorrow and driving up from Chicago. And we all took a half day Thursday too, just in case...
-
I got the go ahead to leave work early for this one! I wouldn't be suprised if the front row crew was already lined up!
-
skipping 10th hour to go early.... who needs chemistry anyways ?-(
-
Skipping 3 classes to head down early. I'm thinking classes should be held in the Bradley Center tomorrow...
-
Would be skipping if not for a midterm right before the game :-[
I'm cramming tonight to get out of that test as fast as possible, though. All my close friends are getting there by 3pm at the latest, though.
-
I'll need to give MUFan12 props for bringing this one to my attention, but apparently University Ministry decided to push back the 8PM Ash Wendnesday mass at Gesu to 10PM instead.
You KNOW it's a big game when the Jesuits are pushing back mass :P
-
7 a.m. mass at Gesu, test at 9, head to the BC!
Dedication.

BS- the JACC was carried by the student section. I was in the endzone and it took a lot to get them up. MU fans bring it... not sure why you are calling out alums that at least show up to all the games.
Ridiculous comments. Time to neuter the Huskies.

As an alum (over 40) who posts on this board and is going to my 140th straight home game, I will "bring it". Right now we are watching our DVR of last year's Big East Tourney game versus ND and I am warming up by yelling at the screen. I should be ready for tomorrow night. ;D

I believe there were some excellent signs in the student section for our inaugural game in the BEast. I think the security guards took away the laptops and the ones that said UCONN USUCK.
This time MU has 1.6 Million reasons to win!

Lots of signs got taken away that year. I specifically remember the laptops (which had Marcus Williams' picture on the "screen") and another one that said "UConnvict."

haha... Ahoya06, notkirkcameron, and I spent the night before fashioning those laptops and signs. I also had one that said "UConn's Guards Lead the Nation in Steals" with a picture of a laptop on there. Those lasted 3 minutes.
Best part about that... we had a benign "Movin on up to the EAST side" sign that we used as a decoy. Ended up on TV a couple times and got in the JS.
Between the sign making, fart whistles, and games of wiffle ball at gate B, that was a hell of a good time.

Of course, we had that one guy who got kicked out of the BC about 30 seconds into the game when he threw a beer cup at the security guard for taking away our laptops. Man, was he pissed to miss that game.

I remember every single bit of all that. I was probably about 8 rows behind you guys. I forgot about the "steals" sign.

Woah woah woah champ ... it was my buddy's free t-shirt (took it when he wasn't looking!), and it was at the Administrator, walking 15 feet away, who had taken the laptop signs.
Let's not get a good story overdone :-)

Oh yeah, that's right. It's all becoming so much clearer now. Piece by piece, I am trying to relive that entire night.

And it was actually about 4 minutes into the game. They held me in the area where people enter the arena and my biggest thought was, "Damn it, how long will it take me to run to the Annex!" But then I got out (was just asked to leave) and realized Gametime was right there, raced in, and was the lone guy screaming at the TV for the next couple hours.
-
From the sign making to the end of the game, seriously one of the most fun 24 hours of my life.
-
Gotta love having a reserved seat! :)
+1,000,000

I had the UConn USuck sign... never got taken. the security guys even laughed at it. before people start complaining about how tasteless and uncreative it was... i made it 5 minutes before tip after a lot of spirits. it's still one of my favorite though.

I still laugh everytime at the thought of that poster. It was great that the security guys were on our side. Wasn't it the next day that you found out your company didn't do half days??? Man I'm so happy that I was on my unemployment week for that game!
