Two tickets center of Section 111 lower bowl. Very good seats. Used for only the Hope game. Paid $268 for the two, will sell for $200. Send me a message if you're interested and we can go from there.

Really?

I don't like your chances, at least post after a win if you're serious about selling.

With every game I have to take less and less. Might as well post them as soon as possible. And I am serious. I'll still attend some games, but not like I have in the past. I haven't missed a home game in hoops or FB in ten years.

What's driving this?

Do you think there is a market for Bronco tickets right now???

A lack of interest.

Been eons since we had a home game outside of the Hope D-III bs. game. For all intents basketball season has been going on for a month and we're about to have our first "real" home game.

And of what I've watched or listened to I haven't sat through one entire game without turning off the radio or the video. This team has quit on us, and I guess I've quit on them.................. even before the UDM game, but that was the last straw for me. I'm as big a WMU fan as you'll find, but at some point you just find there are better ways to spend you evenings.

I would still go if I lived in the state and had season tickets. It's already a sunken cost, what the heck?!

I bought season tickets for the Tigers in 88, the year after they won the division in 87. You know, "first to worst".

Games were shorter, I came late and left early, no crowds, easy access to concessions, you name it, but we all had a good time and the original intent of entertainment wasn't lost. I sure wasn't in love with the team that year, that's for sure!

On another note, since you openly "went there" on this group, are you or have you already done and article on your problems with this squad and why you're seriously giving up on them? THAT would be coverage worth reading, you're obviously not worried about losing your access to them now, right?

What access? Stopped writing for Rivals almost a year ago. I haven't requested a press pass because that would be dishonest, and we have enough no account bloggers on press row as it is.

Then let it rip!

lol remember 08-09 when WMU went 10-20 but still won the west? THERE IS STILL HOPE.

Well, the west is pretty bad but Ball State beat Butler today, I believe. Nothing I've seen out of our team suggests that they will even beat CMU.

Let's just say I'll believe it (we can win the west) when I see it. I figured it would be a battle between BSU and WMU but now think BSU is the team to beat. Toledo is playing surprisingly well. Not sure about CMU or EMU but NIU is young and not very good.

If this bunch could string together a complete game for an entire game, who knows how good they are? The closest we have seen was probably against Colorado.

I agree with whoever said that this schedule is designed to kill any fan enthusiasm since it is game 9 and only the second home game. Come in 1 - 7 and don't be surprised if nobody shows up to watch.

When I think back just a few years, I remember a team that was tough as nails and riding a 20+ game homecourt winning streak. Fans came out in good numbers and the zoo was a force. The place was a tough environment to come into for a visiting team.

What happened to that??

Coach Mac's players graduated.

I will continue to show up as long as our team plays hard, demonstrates their talents and wins games they should win.
I'm also thinking of the team over the next couple years, and what they might look like.

Look, we won it all in 04-05, fantastic, it is what the fanatics live and die for, a season like that.
Then we had the big Joe Reitz years, they were fun years, especially at UA, but they failed to produce a MAC title.
After that the David Kool years, full of high expectations, some great games, fun times, but again no MAC title.
Now the Detroit years. Again one good year, now we are falling apart it appears, and the MAC title seems farther away than ever.
I don't know what players will define the next 3-4 years, but if one of these teams can bring home a MAC title they will be pass the previous regimes and be up there will the great 04-05 teams. And they will always be loved by the Bronco b-ball fans.

your seats suck. no one will want to buy them...so go to the game(s).

honestly...go to the games...you will miss out...being a fan isn't all about sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows...we all made a choice to be WMU fans. Being a WMU fan is tough...the easier path would be to follow some high major team, that a lot of us have no connection too...thus turning ourselves into Wal-Mart (insert school name) fans.

"Those who stay will be champions." There I said it...

You really need to come join the dark side in Section 111. It's waaaaaaayyyyy better then sitting in those uncomfortable chairbacks with a screaming drunk lady behind you and a ton of grey hairs whining all game long.

I liked the Dark Side when I had The General's seats. I'm just not feeling it with this group.

The attendance in 111 (and in general) has really dropped over the years. Most games my row is completely empty other then my seats. It sucks but is also kinda nice since you can spread out a little more.
