Anyone have any guess as to what the student turnout will be for Cincy?

Comparable to the Providence game.
There's generally two variables that determine attendance: day of the week and quality/name value of the opponent. In this case, we have a Saturday game against a mid-level opponent. The model calls for attendance somewhere in the 12-13k range with proportionate student turnout.

Thanks Russky. It's about time someone put computer modelling to good use.

I will be in 111, trying to duck when brasky throws his empties at the hoi polloi.
Bringing about 10 hoya hooligans from NYC and Boston. Hoping for loudmouth soup beginning at 10:30, and some nice onion soup from 12-2.

One note: Model may need to be adjusted for visiting fans. I'm not sure what kind of contingent Cinci will bring, but in the past, there's been a respectable number of them up in the 400s, doing their weird "Ooooooooooooooooo" chant arm tumbler centrifuge motion thing.

And I'm sure the jerks who have the seats next to mine will have sold them to some Cincy fans...

BUbble - are you always in 111? I am in 111 and our section is notorious for being quiet. I can't say i jump up and down all the time - but sometimes it is depressingly quiet.
Or there are a group of "EDITED" that sit behind me that whine and complain the entire time. Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if they also commented on this board from time to time.

Joey-yep, always. Been my section for a few years. Used to reside in AA, but had to drop back this year. Now in L. I wonder if you are part of the strong contingent that is still in row BB, who I always enjoyed taunting the refs with. Agree the section is not strong at all. Weak and dead. I hope the cheering operation makes its way over to us. I am actually shocked at the looks I get when I get on the refs or cheer on our guys. At least clap in time with "De-fense" and "Let's Go Hoyas!" |

I've been told there's a group of 500 senior's parents in the 400's for this game. They're also being provided with a cheer sheet.

I cant even remember the last home weekend game? January 10th, maybe? And, even that was during Xmas Break. I think that will add to the numbers as well.

The ESPN Announcers did not seem to like the GU student section as they announced their top 5 student sections (we obviously were not included) while showing a shot of GU students sitting down and looking bored.
Pretty embarrassing.

Really the Arena was rocking for most of the game and was as loud as i've seen it in a while. I thought everyone did a good job. one of the biggest positives this game was the crowd.
