Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer..... The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game Back to Top RSBobcat General User Member Since: 8/22/2010 Location: Columbus, OH Post Count: 4,437 Status: Offline     RE: "Hoops Mania"/Preview Event - When is it this year?    Posted: 10/4/2011 12:38:33 AM  bornacatfan wrote: RSBobcat wrote: Any word on when the annual "Hoops Mania"/Preview event is scheduled for?

Was it the video's of Groce's set shot that got out last year that killed this???? :) RS Bobcat Back to Top intrpdtrvlr General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Post Count: 177 Status: Offline     RE: "Hoops Mania"/Preview Event - When is it this year?    Posted: 10/4/2011 10:13:52 AM  IMO, the event was poorly attended to the point of being a bit of a downer.  If that's all the support we're going to draw, I can see not bothering to hold the event.  It's not fun to play a scrimmage late at night in front of a nearly empty Convo.   BA - Michigan State '03, MA - Ohio '05, PhD - Ohio '15 Back to Top RSBobcat General User Member Since: 8/22/2010 Location: Columbus, OH Post Count: 4,437 Status: Offline     RE: "Hoops Mania"/Preview Event - When is it this year?    Posted: 10/4/2011 10:28:31 PM  intrpdtrvlr wrote: IMO, the event was poorly attended to the point of being a bit of a downer.

Well, then by that logic it Could be a Good warmup for similiar sized early season paying crowds................

Not to mention the promotion last year with those awful energy drinks...still trying to get that taste out of my mouth!

Why not have it the next day at a time where out-of- towners would attend.....late morning or early afternoon. Have some incentives for fans to attend like give aways......music......other entertainment events.....it wouldn't take too many creative minds to get the fans there.

It was not "late" at all last couple times I went - 7:00-ish if I remember right. Maybe the better idea is BEFORE a late start football game - leave a couple hours after for tailgating time....

Works for me. No chance that would work.  I don't think there is near enough Athletic Department staff to pull something like that off...  Back to Top cc-cat General User Member Since: 4/5/2006 Location: matthews, NC Post Count: 3,948 Status: Offline     RE: "Hoops Mania"/Preview Event - When is it this year?    Posted: 10/5/2011 11:00:42 PM  Jeff McKinney wrote: Hey, wait a minute...I've got a great idea!  No one's ever suggested THIS before:  put a portable court up on Court St.!!  It'll draw a big crowd!!  Grrrrr Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 12  of 12 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 196 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 196 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
