Hahaha. No. I stand for the rouser, of course, and stand to cheer, for the anthem, etc. Also stand and chat with people I know near my seats at halftime. To be more precise, I should have said that I don’t leave my seat area.

I rarely leave my seat once the game starts, so I wouldn’t know about the lines🙂. I will say, though, that the beer line before the Badger game was particularly long with perhaps 2000 WI fans in the arena.

I watched PSU beat Iowa last night. They turned them over A LOT, and limited their perimeter shooting. I think we are capable of doing the same. Iowa does have good post play. When we lost to them here, we got burned inside, and they hit some crucial jumpers. Carver Hawkeye Arena is a tough...

I did not say “no one buys concessions.” Obviously, some people do. I said that the long time season ticket holders who sit around us tend not to. But you seem to miss my point, which was that upgrading the arena to provide better concessions seems unnecessary. And no, I would not see it as a...

I could be wrong on this, but I think a lot of people with high ticket priority, long time ticket holders, are older. We tend not to buy “ junk food,” hot dogs, pizza, ice cream, popcorn, etc. Most people that I see in the lines tend to be younger, maybe even people who don’t attend as often...

As a long time season ticket holder, I have sat in various sections and attended games with low attendance and sellouts (yes, a long time ago). The people who sit around us are also season ticket holders, of course. Rarely does anyone purchase anything from concessions, so I don’t think...

JOJ’s minutes are being eaten up by both Christie (who has rarely stepped off the floor in the last 2 games) and Fox. He is the kind of player who gets better as the game flows — spot minutes don’t work so well for him. Would hate to lose him, for sure. Next year his minutes may well increase...

Just sayin’ : B1G NOW discussion moments ago, “Who do you like for coach of the year?” 4th name mentioned (after Painter, Underwood, and Collins), none other than Ben Johnson .

Understand me, I am not advocating FOR it, I am just telling it like it is. College sports has become more and more about the money. The reason the B1G expanded at all, and now to 18, is because of the money from BTN.

As a season ticket holder of many years and one of those who has attended most of the games of the last 3 years, I appreciate this acknowledgment. Of course would love to see The Barn rocking again. Ben knows what is like. He went to games as a kid, and played in The Barn as a Gopher with much...

Yes. And, let’s be realistic. It is all about the money!

When the league expands to 18, there is no way all the games can be scheduled on BTN . Get used to seeing them on other streaming providers.

Doubt the crowd will be as big as N’W game. Late start, school night. Many families prefer weekend afternoon games.

As noted elsewhere, Peacock is $6/month cancel any time and the games are available to watch later (no need to DVR). Cancel any time. I pay a heckuva lot more than that for my season tickets that include ALL preseason games. As far as BTN+ I agree that is not a great deal, and far too many...

There are certain posters on this forum that will never admit that Ben Johnson is a good coach with a wealth of basketball knowledge. His players genuinely like him and want to play for him. They are a cohesive unit with no quit. A big part of coaching is recruiting and managing personnel...

Top B1G game of the week so far? Northwestern’s OT loss at Purdue. Looking towards Saturday, N’W played a helluva game at Purdue to nearly beat them for the 2nd time this year and lost in overtime. They are a disciplined, veteran team with good guards and solid post play. It will be a tough game...

Edey would take Jack to school and eat his lunch. He would likely get him to buy the little head fakes, do the step-around, and his nifty little jump hook. Wouldn’t be surprised if Wilson does see minutes in the Purdue game because Payne may well get it foul trouble trying to defend Edey as...

What you say about Monson’s situation is true, and are relevant points. Ben has faced challenges as well, which are often scoffed at, or mimimized. My larger point is that this program has seen ups and downs, periods of struggles. The Monson years, overall, with 3 last place finishes and one...

Let’s see where we’re around after 7 seasons.

You either have a short memory or a selective memory — I suspect both. In his 7 years as head coach, Dan Monson finished 10th of the then ten teams in the Big Ten 3 times and 9th once.
