Huge day for Bobcat Basketball on Saturday. The Lady 'Cats kick off the day with a chance for revenge against Buffalo at 1:00 on Caroline Mast Day in the Convo. The Beefs beat the Bobcats two weeks ago 51-43, and are one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the MAC and are very capable. Caroline Mast will be honored at half time as her jersey goes up in the rafters of the Convo.
At 4:00 the Saul Ballers will begin a 3 game season that will decide the MAC East division champs! Win all three and Ohio will have at least a piece of regular season eastern crown. How about it ?
Hopefully the athletic department promotions people are out beating the bushes to make sure that the word is out about this exciting day on campus.
Hopefully we will see a huge student turn-out, loud and proud.
Hint: More 110 at full volume and less silly-ass games to help get the Convo rocking in this critical game!
Be there Bobcats! No excuses!

Not to be Johnny Raincloud, but aren't the students essentially on Spring Break starting Saturday morning? Will the 110 even be in the building?

I hope for goodness sake that this date was picked for Caroline Mast Day because it's the only day she could make it.

To me, they should be required to be, but maybe they aren't because of dorm access.

This highlights something that I simply do not understand when it comes to spring break scheduling. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for spring break to be the week of conference tournaments that the week before? Then all the kids who are players wouldn't miss a single class. We're talking about a ton of players across the country.

I hate to pile on with the murdering of excitement, but this game won't decide the MAC East championship either.

Let me get this straight - you think universities should schedule spring break around the basketball schedule? At OHIO, for example, the schedules of almost 30,000 students should fit the schedules of 30 student athletes?

Required? Really? It's a regular season basketball game not the President of the United States coming to town.

For what it's worth, spring break is during the tournament next year for OU students.

You're right, this isn't the POTUS coming to town...this is more important.

I guess my point is this: If cheerleaders, players, student Athletic Department employees have to be there, the band should too. They're part of the show, and the home court advantage. That's my reasoning.

As for the scheduling of Spring Break, what's wrong with scheduling around basketball season so fewer kids across hundreds of schools miss class? It's the difference of a week.

And honestly, yes, I'm surprised sometimes that university schedules and academic schedules aren't meshed together better -- the Dad's weekend schedule as an example, could be moved around a bit to be during a "real" home game.

During breaks not all of those people have to be there every game. As for spring breaks, not every school in the conference is on the same schedule. We're dealing with schools in 5 different states.

All good points. I'm just thinking it makes general sense, but it's probably too pie in the sky.
