Mack saying she's happy to be playing "at home" for xmas makes it easier to take.

Disappointing that only 5 games are at Gill, and one of them will be with 6,000 screaming kids. As a teacher of some of those "6,000 screaming kids", I'm cultivating a new fan base. Many of my students don't even realize that OSU has a "girl's basketball team". I've been an ardent fan through four coaches. If we don't seek out new fans with our aging base, our numbers will eventually dwindle. I remember when pulling 1,500 was a good night. With Covid protocols I'm not even sure if the Field Trip Game Day will happen. So you may get your wish.

With Covid protocols I'm not even sure if the Field Trip Game Day will happen. So you may get your wish. Oh, I go to that game every year, and am always impressed with how well behaved the kids are. And I agree that it is an excellent tool for growing the fan base. 6,000 prepubescent voices rising as one, however, is great fun for the 6,000 but hard on elderly ears, which is why so many choose not to attend this game, which is always a blowout against an overmatched opponent anyway. So, what I meant is that this effectively means only 4 preconference games at Gill for many of the season ticket holders. I do support the basic idea, however. I don't think it should be done on a school day, but that's a separate question.

Sure, it'd be nice to see a high-ranked opponent in Gill. But after being absent an entire season from the stands, this schedule has me excited as much as ever to get back to seeing the women at home. Can't wait. Thats the attitude!

Hey, I'm just happy Women's basketball is so close, and with the chance of fans in the stands again. I'm not going to complain about this schedule, and I expect Michigan and Notre Dame will be tough teams to play while the Beavs try to work out who is getting minutes with all the new players on the team (and Kennedy's return to action). It's going to take a while for the youth and new players to find their role.

TVO is sure bring in some people because of her island connection. Hawaiians are very proud of their sons and daughters.

That is an excellent bit of marketing by the tournament to get locals more interested.

Just make sure to wear good ear plugs. It's big enough the last couple years I've not attended so there is more room for kids.
