Will the Barn Be Popping Saturday?

[Married@SiebertField]

All things considered—the per capita fan enthusiasm for the Big Ten games has been robust.

 

[Ewert86PC]

LOL.

All 5000 in attendance will be "popping."

Sure, sport.

Popping "mother's little helpers"....

I'd say that there are two factors. One is cultural. According to a friend of mine who has lived in Los Angeles since the late eighties, people there just aren't as enthusiastic about college basketball as they are in the Midwest. Second would be competition. UCLA historically has been the college basketball king of that area. There are also 8 additional D1 basketball programs in the greater Los Angeles area.

6!! Excellent

We're bringing 5.... 11 now

 

[jblass]

I’m in. Let’s get the Barn rocking!

 

[House 2]

I’ll be there hopefully with one of my kids. Should be a decent crowd

 

[jblass]

Decent crowd today, best attendance this season.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Decent crowd today, best attendance this season.

That qualifies as Poppin’

Thanks for the report - Enjoy the W

 

[JZABR]

My answer is still yuppers. Everything we're doing is CRISP

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Fun atmosphere. Find a way to hang on in the 2nd half.

 

[saintpauljeff]

I just turned the game on, wow, actually sounds like a lively crowd.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I bet it’s Poppin now after the well earned W

 

[STPGopher]

Brilliant!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Ranked opponent, a two game B10 winning streak, decentesque weather and the Wolves ain’t howling.

Didn’t want to give a definitive definition of what “popping” is (attendance or otherwise). We all know it when we see it.

We saw it!!

11062 per ESPN’s Box Score!!

Just think if we beat Sparty, next Saturday will be rollicking when we send them Huskies back home whimpering

LOL.

All 5000 in attendance will be "popping."

Sure, sport.

11,062 in attendance, per ESPN, just a bit more than your lame azz guess and you also lost scratch on the game as well = Double Winner!!

[forever a gopher]

Wow

 

[Holy Man]

I wish I was there but I wasn’t. Good play, good opponent, and good time contribute to good environment. College basketball was meant for Saturday afternoon and it helps environments especially in the Midwest.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Great game! Fun environment.. Burton was getting into it…

One of my big issues as a season ticket holder was 8pm tip offs on weekdays. Especially now with kids and living further away. Just makes it tough to be gone from 6:45-11. Weekends always were great.
