Hy-Vee buys 1,000 UNI tickets!

[BCPanther]

Just got back from watching some great high school football action. There was a pretty good line of people waiting to buy tickets at the UNI window.

I still have concerns about students actually showing up. They showed up for the Drake game because it was the "cool" thing to do that week and I just don't feel that same excitement level around campus this week. Another student and I took an informal survey in my night class last night and of 23 people only 3 were for sure going. It seems like no matter how hard any of us work at it and push people to it, it doesn't seem to work. I just don't get it, why on earth would you rather watch a bad big 10 team headed for Detroit. I absolutely love the University I attend and don't understand why others don't it is the greatest place in the world!!

The part I don't get is why students would show up big time for a game against Drake and not for SIU (hopefully they will).

Drake is a non-scholly team we should have dominated and did. SIU is a top 5 team and we are playing for the conference title and playoff bid.

If the student turnout for this game is not very high I will wonder what has happened to the average intelligence level of UNI students.

[Newsbreaker]

In fairness, you don't know that it's an Iowa or ISU game keeping them away.

FYI...3 of 23 is about 13%....which is about the percentage that has apparently been average this year, at around 1800.

If we have less then 2500 students, I'll be both surprised and very very disappointed. Remember, taking a poll in a class is pretty unscientific, and the results will vary based on the type of class/major/student composition I'm sure.

I hope when you took that poll, you gave the sales pitch.

Is there any signage in the dorms, union or dining centers?

There are signs up in Rider, and the Hall Coordinator emailed eveyone in the building to tell them about the game. He also invited anyone that wanted to go to meet so they go to the game together. I don't know about any other dorms, though

Yeah, I am hall president in Rider, and we just happened to plan Rider Night at the Football game for the SIU game. I'm hoping for a huge turnout. I did all that I could to promote it in Rider!!

Thanks TV........

Update:
Hy-Vee on University (across from Hobby Lobby) is sold out of tickets. The Hy-Vee closer to the Dome still has "some".
