I thought the Reds did this some years ago but honestly don't remember. I know they have had UC and UK. It's weird to be at a Reds game on UK night with so many people in blue.

Last year in Columbus they moved from a Downtown location to Dublin to better appeal to the location of the demographics. The only downside was the Bogey Inn's private room was just too small for the crowd that came. Hopefully they find a bigger place this year to host.

I can't remember any school-specific nights for the Bobcats I know in the past the Reds have done more general "college nights" aimed at students, but a peek at this year's Reds' promotional calendar shows nothing aimed at schools or students. Don't recall the Tribe doing anything.

Why do you think the numbers are "sad"? Drawing like 30 people in Cleveland, where there are tens of thousands of grads, is depressing to me. They do an absolutely TERRIBLE job of promotion. With just a little bit of effort they could reach more people and boost turnout. Example: Use the Ohiobobccats.com website. 48 hrs before each stop put a big, bold reminder on the front page. Drop a reminder into all the Bobcats Facebook groups. Get it mentioned on the front page of the alumni association website. In case you haven't noticed, none of these steps cost a dime.

In the years I was involved in Columbus, we might only get a few weeks notice, and have no input on location. Not that I'm suggesting that should be the case, but it's worth noting this for the context. I've long been of the opinion that the relationship as a whole between The Convo and Konneker could use some improvement to help events like this be bigger and better.

Outrage!!! Actually, I'm always impressed that I see a few Ohio University license plates and stickers around town, and in a Midwest academic community I often find people who have an Athens, Ohio connection somewhere.

Instead of complaining, attend them if you can, lure friends there and try to get people to $$$ support the programs. I'll reiterate that the level of engagement at these is fantastic. I've had long conversations with coaches and administrators and asked whatever was on my mind. If you care enough about this stuff to be on here, you really should try to get to one of these.
