I know this is supposed to be a joke but I really, really hate this nickname. I think it is disrespectful to Coach.
That’s a good sign if he’s practicing and running drills. May play this weekend.Dévito is practicing and running drills. I think Josh plays this weekend

I've been following the map all week and I'm not sure either. I don't know how accurate the map is because it seems to occasionally change from sold out to some tickets available in certain areas.I can't tell if ticket sales look better or worse than last week. Didn't seem like a lot of movement today looking at the map.

Hard to beat the "we're Illinois and can't be trusted" mindset. If we pull this off without Devito bet we'll start seeing 50's for rest of season.Worse
Flash sales only go so far. I think part of the problem is the young alumni who would be more apt to short notice plans attended school with bad teams and didn’t go to games as students; therefore, why would they bother now? The older alumni don’t have free Saturdays just waiting to pounce on a flash sale 5 days beforehand.Hard to beat the "we're Illinois and can't be trusted" mindset.

And while I get the economics, the shift to a "TV studios with thousands of seats" model discourages big walkup sales. Game times often don't get announced until a week or two before the kickoff and with every one broadcast everywhere, there isn't the urgency of having to buy a ticket to see what is an unexpectedly big matchup. Even if you live within an hour of C-U, you're talking about minimum five-hour commitment on a Saturday and with youth sports and other activities, that can be too much, especially if the time block is prone to moving around.Flash sales only go so far.

Disappointing. 40k again for attendance this week or less? This is a big game, wonder why people are not getting up for it?Worse
To add to my post and I didn’t think about this until now, it may be because we’re a basketball school and football just isn’t that big of a draw yet? Once the football team starts winning consistently and winning championships/getting to bowl games than the attendance will increase.Disappointing. 40k again for attendance this week or less?

First of all, that sucks. Depressing really. Not sure what more we could ask of this team and staff this year. Even asking them to get to this point before the season would have seemed unreasonable.Worse

If there are open seats, how strict are they about people moving around within the stadium? I got the horseshoe tickets, but if there’s a ton of open seats on the sidelines, are they gonna stop me from moving?

Neither have I.Move all the time never once been told not to...
It's hard to sell 30-35k single game tickets every week.Disappointing. 40k again for attendance this week or less? This is a big game, wonder why people are not getting up for it?
Yup we need a larger season ticker holder base, hopefully that happens in the offseason.It's hard to sell 30-35k single game tickets every week.
I am sure it doesn't effect everyone but honestly 11 is a crappy time for a football game.. Hard enough I have to play golf tape the game and hope everyone around me keeps theirs mouths shutDisappointing. 40k again for attendance this week or less?

I would agree...but this is homecoming week....you would think that in itself would be worth an additional 15-20,000....no?It's hard to sell 30-35k single game tickets every week.
