I started going to games in the 80's sometime (85?), bought season tickets in 97/98 when Hogg started turning the program around, kept them thru the majority of the Mulkey years, but then I started to get priced out so I just went half the time or less. Now the tiny arena money grab has just about finished me off, I go to a few here & there. I'm still a Baylor guy and really like the ladies team; I support the coach & the players and hope they continue to win far more than they lose.

I figured you'd make a big play on the "Sold Out" part. So do you go to the games? I take it you don't want to be my game day buddie. I'll definitely give the burger to Iowa Bear when I get the chance.MrGolfguy said:
A "full arena" is sold out. I actually looked up the numbers, LSU has not sold out this year and is announcing an average of about 10500 in a 13200 seat arena. He's hearing wrong.
Setshot I have always considered you to be the best poster on any sports forum I've ever read, going back especially to some of the great things you printed on Baylorfans.com when you were in your prime. I am so glad in spite of your age and health conditions that you are still able to bless us with some comments from time to time. I will always cherish those times we spent together watching the Lady Bears (yes I still call them that) in their practice sessions. That was really great that time that due to preparation for another event they were going to practice in the side gym and Kim let us go into her office and observe from the overlooking balcony. For you to compliment me in the manner that you did is very humbling.setshot said:

It was also great to see BUVA mentioning the late Slimecap. Talk about a lady, there was one for sure. And it was my privilege to meet her numerous times. Having meals together, sitting at games together and swapping quite a few texts and PMs over the years. She was a jewel.
Reading a Setshot post is like listening to Nicki Collen talk about basketball--I always walk out of it smarter than when I walked into it.geewago said:Setshot I have always considered you to be the best poster on any sports forum I've ever read, going back especially to some of the great things you printed on Baylorfans.com when you were in your prime.

Maybe Baylorgrad&dad or DFWBill will chime in shortly and answer this for you. I'm sure they could do a better job.LIB,MR BEARS said:
Who was slimecap? I've read many slimecap post but no idea who she was
student being back will help some but, students have never been big supporters of WBB in Waco2Bears said:
Once students are back, the attendance should improve. Right now, any students there are either the spirit groups or participating in recruitment in some way. It was a fun game to watch last night. I was there when we got blown out and had no expectation of winning. I was thankfully very surprised and pleased with the effort and outcome!

Saw on here that attendance is down. Decided to get tix for a couple of games. Only seats available though Baylor are in far upper reaches of the arena. Looking on StubHub or other secondary markets, plenty of better seats but asking price is out of reach. So tell me why attendance is poor? Have the resellers gotten greedy? Are season ticket holders not filling their seats? A bit baffling to me.
They have played 4 teams so far that will likely be in the top 40 at seasons end. Indiana, Oregon, Okie St & Utah. 1 - 3 so far. Mondays game will be a test of how respectable can they look. I would think if they stay within 20 of UCLA and within 5 of the next opponent (TCU) they should have a very high chance of finishing the year with at least 7, possibly 8 wins in the last 10.pilgrim said:
Monday will be a test of where Baylor WBB is right nowin every way.
Buy the cheap tickets higher up. It's so empty up there that you can basically sit where you want, and I think the view is better than on the lower levels.AustinHomeGirl said:

You may (or may not) be giving too much credit to TCU. They beat UCF by 40 on the road and then turned around and only beat them by 9 this past week. The teams in this conference are not that far apart, at least those in the top half. You have an off night, you get beat. You have a key player get in early foul trouble, you can get beat.geewago said:They have played 4 teams so far that will likely be in the top 40 at seasons end.

Am I reading your post right? How does Baylor have a home court advantage in New Jersey?blackie said:

I think the timing of the UCLA game is unfortunate. A lot of people do not have that day off, "holiday" or not, yet the game is at 2:00. I don't remember any of our marquee games under either CNC or KM having such a time on a weekday. It certainly likely cuts down on any advantage we have playing at home.
Better notify the seat police !!!LIB,MR BEARS said:AustinHomeGirl said:

My employer has season tickets. They've been asked to notify ticket sales if the seats will not be used so they can be made available to walk up fans.

Tonight's crowd feels equal to or slightly larger than the Utah game.
Sorry, I never knew it was in New Jersey. I Googled for the Baylor schedule and it showed Baylor as the home team. The place I was looking never indicated it was at a neutral site. This makes more sense for the time.geewago said:Am I reading your post right? How does Baylor have a home court advantage in New Jersey?blackie said:
