I heard a rumor that you get your hot dogs imported from a Malawian dollar store. Is that true?

Last year was not a sell out but really close. Actually Calhoun was so nervous about it not being a sell out she actually asked some prominent alumni to buy about a quarter of the seats. I think it was one a handful of times she made an ask of any type.

If we don't sell this game out, I think Watson needs to come in and start cleaning house with the business side. I mean serious restructuring/firing. We can't get 4500 people to see a ranked team?

Swella doesn't think we can, but I'm thinking other people here probably do.

We don't have a marketing budget. So there really isn't a business side to athletics but Kelly and Malisch have had fun pretending they run an actual business, so Watson has his work cut out for him. Malisch is gone but she does have Kelly's ear and will be sticking her two cents in. You can count on that. The real question is what happens when this winning snowballs and revenue does go up. Kelly doesn't have the experience or background to know if athletics is maximizing this opportunity.

Game time will help
Students being back will help too.
I think we will be about 200 shy of a sell out. I really hope I'm wrong.

For the record: put me in the "think we can sell this game out" category, but my point is that we should absolutely be able to sell this game out. I can't think of a single excuse not to sell this game out. And if we don't, I hope our new AD takes some serious measures to start to drum up fan support for the program.

Remember it was the fiasco of not selling enough travel packages to Arch Madness last year that got Grace Calhoun on Fr. G's bad side; I'm sure we've taken steps to try to correct and prevent that from happening again.

I hoping for a sell out. I think the last one was Michigan State.
I am sure there hasn't been any steps taken to correct archmaddness. The hope is winning will solve everything.
Selling travel packages was the least of Calhoun's worries.
