[QUOTE="EthanM, post: 1487394, member: 173451"] Yeah because when I was 19, I would have much rather gone to StL, TX, or FL over a free trip to Ireland where I would have legally been able to drink. 🙄 For most of these players, this will be their first trip out of the country and it’s going to be a trip of a lifetime for them that they’ll get to talk about for years. We’ve played games in all of those states, I don’t remember seeing local boosts after them. However, if webecome one of a handful of teams that plays overseas regularly, I do think that gives a small pitch to help in recruiting. Great job supporting the university here. If this game actually gets canceled, it just becomes another negative recruiting tool, and you’ll be back on this board talking about embarrassing we are as a fan base. If you don’t support it, no one is making you go or watch this game. [/QUOTE]
