As someone who used to work in the industry, I can safely say "ding ding ding".

Bums me out we can't sellout this game. Too bad we pooped the bed in the OOC schedule, or this game would have some real hype to it.

I think if we were 15-4 instead of 12-7 the game would sell out simply due to the hype of two better teams facing off.

that home loss to SoMiss really stings now.

As a blazer fan since the 90s, I can remember exactly 2 instances where, as a fanbase, we were all preoccupied with how many tickets had been sold before the game, and we left that game happy.

After the opening of Protective Stadium, I finally learned just to quit wasting mental energy on it.

We are 4-1 in the conference. how do you feel there is no hype?

This is false. “Pack Bartow” has been all over social media and the campus. It’s even on some elevator doors on campus. It has been heavily advertised

1 PM update: 996 tickets left. NOW, we’re under 1,000.

Yeah, we are not 4-1 in the conference, unless the loss to FAU and Charlotte only counted as 1/2 each. Losing at home to USM, McNeese, and smoked at Ark St lingers too.

We're 4-2. And sure, there's hype in Birmingham for this game, but I meant on a national stage.

That would be humiliating.

If we win and rush the floor, they're gonna say something
If we win and don't rush the floor, they're gonna say something

RUSH THE FLOOR AND START SHOUTING SUPERBOWL!!!!

Rush the floor?

I just want to not lose by double digits.

Too much blue in lower bowl.

If you have no clue why this game don’t sell out, I have to question if you took some time off over the last 15 years as a blazer fan.

Joe Webb is more UAB than Blaze!

He's at the game now at the student section

Looks like Joe Webb is the Gang Green leader we’ve been looking for

Where's the gold Bartow Birmingham jerseys. Not the Eshan gray Birmingham bad omen.

I HATE MEMPHIS!!!!

They are getting too many wide open mid-range jumpers.

Leave Andy alone and let the man coach for Gene’s sake. What a distraction

ESPiN has been doing more and more of that…even in football. Surely not as big a deal in football.
