BCEagles25 {l Wrote}:It's a good thing BC players magically don't allow fatigue to affect their play, they're going to need a full 35-38 minutes from Robinson, Bowman and Chatman.

Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:Popovic turned into Dan Crimmins

TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:thank you hurricanes, for taking some of the worst shots I’ve ever seen in the last 4 minutes of that game

Los {l Wrote}:3 more conference wins and a win in the ACC tourney should put us squarely on the bubble. All of the games on the remaining schedule are winnable. We'll probably be favored in a couple. Barring any choke job, it should be a fun close to the season.

Any bubble talked died vs VT and was buried vs ND. Short of winning out and stealing a game in the ACCT, NIT is best case

MilitantEagle {l Wrote}:BC ran another promotion for the Miami game and it was basically a full house. I think BC employees might have received free tickets or something like that. Whatever the case, BC needs to do these things as much as they can. I don't care if they basically give away all 8600 tickets for free, they need to fill the arena. You then make up for it in concessions as lots of people are buying $8 beers. Even if game day revenue goes down a bit, BC still gets most of their money from ACC TV deal anyway and the benefit of a full Conte outweighs any minor reduction in revenue.

At this point, I honestly think they should consider giving people season tickets and people can just name the price they want to "donate" in return. Sort of like what you see in the music industry, specifically the model for independent artists on bandcamp. EDIT - this would obviously need to be limited to BC fans so you try it out with students, alumni and BC employees first and see how it goes.

This is a good idea

I second that as well. It's important to get trial for your product, because if people enjoy it and are incentivized to be there for free, that's essentially taking a chance on what would otherwise be an empty seat for next time. Having a good crowd helps receuiting too and strengthens your homefield advantage, and for those two enormous benefits it doesn't matter if they payed or not.
