Anyone know how the view is from Sections 12, 13 or 14. $35/ticket. I've never sat on that side.

FishBates.... exactly what I said to my buddies. I like having reliable RB's like Rossa and Brune but this young man has a different gear.

At 215 pounds and quick he's more like Bangura than the others.

I bet we'll see quite a bit more of him this week.

Truth be told, Rosa didn't do much his last two years at UConn.

Yeah, truly outstanding. And that price is a steal. 12 and 13 should be shaded by the press box rather close to kickoff. Towards the south end still gets sun for a while.

And I'm so glad they're selling premium sections on a single game basis finally. I had been asking for that for years

What kind of crowd are we expecting Saturday? Typically, the home opener draws well but I'm concerned how many fans will stay home to watch o$u at texas on tv. Then again, I was expecting a small crowd for the Miami at Ohio basketball game in early March due to students going home for spring break but was pleasantly surprised by the largest Convo crowd in years.

I'm expecting a typical home opener crowd. Might lose some of the fake fans that decide to watch a game at home than be in a great atomosphere of a hOUme opener. Playing Nebraska tough should excite people enough to get to the Frank.

Hope opener with an early evening start should draw well. 45% chance of rain right now, that's the thing to watch.

In 2022 and 2024 we had 6:00 home openers going up against Ohio State at 7:30. 2022 OSU was playing Notre Dame and there was rain in our forecast for FAU. I recall both games being good attendance for us with outstanding student turnouts and plenty sticking around to keep a good atmosphere. 20K+ should be assured.

Man. Weather Bug is now predicting 55% or greater from 11 AM - 10 PM. Let's hope the pattern changes.

A tale of two weeks for Jax. I watched that Week 0 matchup against NDSU and they looked dreadful in all phases of the game. Then last Week 1 they roll EKU. Is NDSU that good? Did Jax figure it out? Saturday will be interesting.

Go Bobcats!

I think EKU is really really bad. Should be a good game but I'll take Ohio at the Frank in this one.

It’s “Band Day”. There will be about two dozen high school bands there through at least halftime. U

EKU has now given up 94 points in two games.

Without playing a power conference opponent.

ND State is pretty good and Jax State got ripped by the portal.

It will be a tough, physical ball game but I expect Ohio to make enough plays offensively to pull it out.
