Nevertheless, I'm inclined to re-up year after year for 3 reasons: 1. the price is pretty good for a second row seat in a very nice facility for Division I basketball (especially compared to the ridiculous costs of attending a Cavs, Indians or Browns game); 2. I'm convinced that the only Division I team in a large city, with a very nice facility, has to get good at some point; and, 3. it's nice to get dibs on good tickets for the NCAA men's and women's tournament games when they're in town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17539316.post-1141336878538714612006-03-02T17:01:00.000-05:002006-03-02T17:01:00.000-05:00Good point about the Horizon League.Good point about the Horizon League.Hornless Rhinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358963520899550238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17539316.post-1141336779955053902006-03-02T16:59:00.000-05:002006-03-02T16:59:00.000-05:00They can't even throw us long term season ticket h...They can't even throw us long term season ticket holders a bone and win at home (1-7 in conference this year - although we did witness the BIG win vs Div3 John Carroll). They have had no coaching charisma since Mackey (what little Rollie had quickly evaporated when it became clear the game had passed him by) and no player charisma since the Cleveland Hts. boys left 5 years ago. My fellow masochist and I are considering giving up our tickets next year, which is a shame, as if they are even mildly entertaining it is the best live sports value in town.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the "crappy" Horizon League - they do get teams to the Sweet 16 (UWM last year) and several years ago had 3 teams make the Big Dance in one year. It is not a major conference, to be sure, but when it's teams are good, they do get respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
