    A 20 win season, this season, with our schedule, would be a spectacular, if not historic success.

    Got mine 3 days ago, was first offered Row 25 and about had a stroke (which is literally what I'd have if I was forced to climb the stairs to 25 every game) lol. I divided up my tickets and got 2 relatively close to where my tickets have been since the remodel. The others are all in the upper bowl.

    I'm fortunate and thrilled to have 2 really good seats. I know I will be sharing my others with those here from time to time throughout the season. #PayitForward

    Whelp... Considering I don't get to go until November.... Better look at the tv schedule lol

As I've stated here before, I do not like how they treat family businesses (they keep their points through the generations) versus families (who do not). We are seriously considering taking our money to benefit other sports if we will know it will go only to the support of those sports. My way of protest if you will.
    There are inequities in most systems that depend on support for fans. A friend of mine had to buy k-who football tickets so he could still buy his basketball tickets. Thank you for your support of our Student Athletes by being a member of the Charter Guardian for all these years. It will be hard on lots of people in business as well as the University with all of the shortfalls due to the pandemic but supporting SASO at the level I do I try to help keep our Student Athletes on campus doing the things they love to do. Again, thanks to you and every other Shocker fan that continued their support this year.

    Now, THAT's a Shocker.
    I guess the Marine Corps IS a peace corps at the end of the day, eh?

    Thanks for the clarification.
    I am sure that continuation policy is the subject of many conversations internally within the athletic department/university. It would seem in an average program it is an easy way to continue the revenue stream from that family or business. But, in recent years there has been no shortage of people willing to drop 6 figures plus to buy season tickets and get lower bowl seats. I get that, - "If they wanna buy their way onto the band wagon, we'll take their money". Don't know how those fans will fit into this picture.

    As someone whose contributions to SASO for the last 10 years, by "policy" should have had seats at least down to Row 18, we have been in row 24 for 8 of those years due to a "shortage" of seats in that lower area (I was told by someone in the ticket office when I increased our donation to move up two levels "Well, if you think this will help your chances to move down, it would take probably $100,000 to get into the lower bowl". I get that, it's all about the money. but, I have to laugh about someone I know who has had 6 seats on Row 8 at half-court for years and got whatever the new limit is in row 18 somewhere. They are livid because it has nothing to do with the view from those seats - it is all about the "look" of them not being lower. I find it hilarious.

    As I face the challenges I will at work today, it will be nothing like the ticket office must be facing from irate ticket holders on this situation. Would not want to be them.

    I feel worse for my friends in their 80's who have built their points position on their own over 50 years of contributions and may get shut out.

    Final thought: independent of the coaching situation and strength or weakness of the team, I think many people will find it ain't so bad watching from home for a lot of reasons. That could be a marketing/sales challenge to try and get everyone back when this all over - jus' sayin.

    Hey, Pogo-
    Had dinner with some ticket holders tonight-
    #1 inherited his Dad's many, many years points and was sitting 4 rows behind Lynn Marshall last year - he got Row 24, section 111.
    #2 has had his own tickets for 54 years and picks tomorrow. They were in Row 12 , Section 108 for a long time. He thinks if they get in it will be near the top.

    Looks like your guess is likely to happen . . .

    We can trade watch parties at our houses. But, the wives have to wear the cheerleader outfits we bought them (Finally!)
