I've never seen a handful of posters so resentful of something so trivial. Do you believe recruits show up and say "Well, there are a few empty seats and they called this a sellout! I'm going elsewhere!"

Total non issue.

You are completely missing the point. It has nothing to do with recruits, and everything to do with the fact that 75% of the people in our market don't think there are any tickets available.

I see the facebook ad promoting ticket sales for the rest of the season every time I log in. I also get emails with the same ad. And when you go to odusports.com, you're greeted with the same ad. Then there are the weekly articles from Harry talking about how we have x amount of tickets to sell to keep the streak alive.

So, just how dumb are these 75% you refer to that believe there arent tickets available? If they had any interest at all in ODU football, they would know they could buy them.

If I am a casual fan, I'm really not in the market in September for a ticket for a single game taking place in November. I am a casual fan and I don't know if I will be in town, what my wife might want to do, what time my kids' soccer games will be that far in advance, or if something better will come up, such as a buddy inviting me to go fishing.

I have seen Facebook posts or Ed Miller/Harry Minium Tweets informing tickets are available... on game day when most people already have something planned for the day. I have never seen anything on Tuesday indicating tickets are available for Saturday.

2 months in advance is too early. Game day is too late.
