Sure, but how can I clean “foreign matter” off the gloves?

I've tracked official game attendance for football since 1995, but never tracked it for basketball. So if anyone knows, has NIU every "crammed" the Convo for a home game since it opened in 2002?

No. Our largest basketball crowd was 8,041 (capacity 9,100) for the first MBB game played in the facility, which was versus DePaul.

Frankly, I find our “Cram the Convo” promotions laughable given our typical 1,200, or so, attendance.

Should just stop trying so you don’t have to laugh.

When I was a student there, we were awful. Ricardo Patton was our head coach. We had a couple of bright spots, Xavier Silas and Tim Toler. That Northwestern game was probably the fullest I've ever seen the place, other than for a concert.

However, me and my friends LOVED cram the convo. Free ___ for the first 1,000 fans meant we got double of whatever it was they gave out. For instance, Chipotle burritos...plus we would sit behind the visiting team's sidelines and scream heinous s##t

With it being warm tomorrow I think some students will walk from the dorms. I’m doing with 2,100 tomorrow for attendance

While it will be the highest attendance this year…

it’ll probably only be 1500 or so

Will the they pull out the South bleachers to "Cram the Convo"?

I heard there are going to be so many people at the
Convo for the game that there will be 12 people trying to fit into Dog Fan's seat before he gets there.

Well, I’ll fix them! I am waiting outside the Convo now for the 12:00 noon opening. As soon as I get in, I will run to my seat. If there is someone in it, then I know it’s an employee of the Convo. If that’s the case, I’ll use my weight and influence to get him/her canned and make sure he/she never gets another job for life! Then again, if it’s a young lady, I may just sit next to her and regale her with stories from my days at the Grotto.

Yes, they will pull out the South bleachers. I may go sit there for the rare experience. Plus, the seats will be like new and fresh smelling. I may even sniff them and enjoy the whole experience!

South side seats are pulled out, but not the East and West seats.

My gloves were too small. Then the nice lady told me I had to wear them on my hands. Oh well, they felt comfortable where I originally had them.

I heard the nice lady thought you were giving her the finger until she told you to wear them on your hands.

Lucky I have a pronounced finger.
