Samford @ YSU 5pm Kickoff
KilrpengWin:
Maybe Terry Bowden will show up from Akron to see his old team lose? Should bring back memories. If I'm right, I understand the Zips won't be going anywhere the rest of the year? I didn't check but I don't think they have 6 wins do they?
ysuguins4:
Zips season ended Tuesday night.
I really hope the rain ends early tomorrow, so some of the "fair-weather" fans come out.
Guins bama bound with a 20 - 17 victory. McFadden with the winning field goal.

If the topic of the YSU game comes up today at your dinner, encourage everyone there to attend Saturday's game. If need be, show them the fantastic "hype" video produced by YSU for the game that has gone viral on social media (42k views in under 24 hours): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo-heNMmLv0
There is definite enthusiasm for this game, but ultimately it doesn't matter if those people who are enthusiast choose to stay at home.

Heard 3800 tickets sold - hoping for a 1000 walk up. Bad weekend all around for game - OSU, Thanksgiving, weather...hopefully loud 4000-5000 there.
GO GUINS!

That is about how many hardcore fans we have
The YO Show:
I actually went with my girlfriend on Tuesday to get her student ticket (she's going to the game even though I can't). And they were no where near the 500 free student ticket number. The ticket office guy said that the game won't be a sellout, but they were expecting a decent crowd and they were going to make the money back from the bid and still have a profit. I don't know how much the bid cost, but if someone knows you can guess how many tickets sold from figuring a bit above the cost of the bid.

FWIW: Ted Schmidt from PNC, who is sponsoring the 500 student tix, said Wednesday night on Penguin Gameday more than 400 of the 500 student tix were taken and they expected the remainder to be claimed.
In regards to the crowd itself, don't get me going. All I ask is that the people who do go make noise from start til finish. Also standing on third down is completely appropriate :)
