If I may make a suggestion, perhaps it could be set up so any season ticket holders who won't be attending a given game can inform the ticket office and "donate" their tickets back to the University for resale thereby giving other fans the chance to attend and bring in a little extra revenue selling the seats a second time?

That already exists. but, in my opinion, is very poorly organized and communicated. Two things frustrate me about the administration of hockey tickets/hockey attendance at Miami: 1) students who do not think they can get in and, therefore, do not go, and, 2) the absence of a good system to redistribute tickets. I also believe and suggested when the new Goggin opened there be Friday or Saturday packages, say a couple of hundred. That would cut down on no shows, reduce the redistribution problem, and shorten the long waiting list for season tickets. What bothers me is that because all the tickets are sold for the whole season and probably will be for some time, IA does not seem very motivated to come up with solutions or be creative. So far their "creativity" has been limited to raising price. Maybe a couple of mediocre seasons will change that - thankfully, it's been a while. :)

Just a random thought, but thumbs up to two weeks in a row of good natured interactions with our opponent's fan base. Seems like CCHA game threads have disappeared over the last couple years. Between the coming out of the woodwork Beaver fans and certain michigan fans it has been one facepalm after another this season.

I think I just complimented buckeye fans...****it.

When you have the entire Columbus community supporting your sports as opposed to tiny little Oxford with 14,000 students OSU should be able to fill up any and all of there arenas.

You would think so but it's been a sore spot with the fans here how little PR the team has received from the local media or why the university hasn't pushed for more exposeure. People drop off coming when you have a team that doesn't win, now that our team has been winning it's only logical you need to get the word out there to get people's interest up in attending again.

Anytime we get good press for any of the schools in this sport is good thing. Good to hear that attendance is up for you guys.

Only up slightly but getting a little better each week it seems. Tomorrow will most likely be the largest crowd so far this season with all the Miami fans I expect we'll see. Just don't get too rowdy or we may have to ask you to leave. lol!

Sounds like a cougar that doesn't know when to quit. Better watch out - she may still be lying in wait for you!

I've been scolded by some buckeye "faithful" before for voicing my opinions too loudly, never attacked by a cougar though, so I guess I can be thankful for that :o

I tried to buy tickets to a game for my brother as a christmas present...the only options left are: buying single seats or standing room since every game is sold out.

I sent him to the last game of the season at OSU...what a great way to end the season!
 
Re: Official 2011-2012 Miami Season Thread: Short People Leave Big Shoes to Fill

Per the game notes: "Junior forward Reilly Smith, the reigning CCHA Player of the Month for November, was named a captain this week, joining senior forward Alden Hirschfeld and senior defenseman Will Weber to make tri-captains. Smith has a team-best 11 goals on the season."

Tri-captains? Jeez. I think you can still call them "co-captains"... it's not like Hirsch and Weber weren't "bi-captains" before Smith's promotion. :p

I don't know how you guys do things at Miami but at OSU if there are going to be captains who are Bi - we prefer them to be women! :p
