Perhaps we should call it the “Sell Out List” or “Sell Out Award”, in recognition of those season ticket holders who sell out themselves and our team when the game is a sell out.

I like where Lordnick is going with this. As CasualHoya correctly implies, it’s unlikely the Powers That Be will do anything, because they would rather have their cut of of the ticket price than an empty seat, but if the persuasive power of shame gets just one season ticket holder to stop the systematic betrayal of the program then it’s worth it.

There were also Duke fans in those seats for the Duke Game..

As I refresh your page in anticipation waiting for your glorious leader to wax poetically about the greatness that is Gerry MacNamara, I actually felt bad for you guys last night. No University, especially one in the top ten should ever be outnumbered by opposing fans. The upper deck was probably 90% Cuse, with the one exception of the extended student section. I was told by one Gtown Alum that the WVU game was actually worse.

I previously posted that with the exception of some students, and some members of this board, Gtown doesn’t have real fans. As expected, I was told I was wrong, to F off and other typical flames (and I expect this post to be received in a similar manner, its the nature of the internet). Now it appears I was dead on. There is a reason your rival takes over all the bars during one of the biggest home games of the year. Basically your fans are weak and for the most part, non-existent. Without the student section, the Hoya fans would have been really outnumbered.

To be fair, Durham is really part of the research triangle. Its the smallest, dumpiest part of the Raleigh area, but its still relatively close to a decent size city. Duke alumni base is basically dwarfed by the two state schools of UNC and NCSU. To counter this problem, Duke has a small on campus arena.

As far as the bars, I can agree to disagree. I see what your saying about much of the alumni base being out of town, and that is a valid point. However I am a Caps season ticket holder and even when the team plays the degenerates that comprise the Penguins the majority of the bars have Caps fans drinking at them. These people are often working, and stop by to have a drink ahead of time.

The weekend theory would be an interesting test, but I don’ t think it would be a different result. Look at UVA and VT for football. Tech always brings more people partially because their fans are more passionate, and partially because C-ville is a nice place to get away for a weekend. However at the end of the day if all the Gtown fans were really that passionate, this thread would not need to be created.

After the fun of the Duke and Villanova games, last night was a real downer with all the Orange around.

As a sometimes seatmate of beatcuse, there is a real problem with ANY opposing fans in the lower bowl (beyond the tix the team is required to give out, like behind the visitors’ bench).

For God’s sake, I saw Orange in the third row behind the G’town bench last night.

The team and the Hoop Club should consider taking some action — the ticket manager allowing donations back to the Hoop Club is a start, but it’s not enough. Try to give away your Alabama season tickets to a Florida fan…you can bet you won’t get those tickets next year.

In the meanime, the best thing to do is for us to keep outing the traitors! Let them die without a team!

basically the entire row was orange

When Cuse plays in Nova its like 35-40% Cuse fans some years. Don’t beat yourself up, Cuse does this to even bigger programs then yourself.

This is serious and I think JTIII would care.

And its really not that hard for the GU ticket office to track serious offenders on stubhub.

If nothing comes out of it this year, we, the Casual Nation, should track them ourselves next year for the big games.

As a 4-seat season ticket holder myself, I can say that I never sell my tickets. If it’s not me, my family, friends, co-workers or some other Hoya fan in the seat, it’s empty. I had an empty seat last night and got more satisfaction from not seeing an Orange jerk there than $40 in my pocket.

After being “outed” by itsallthatmatters yesterday for my take on Chris, I’d like to take this opportunity to do some “outing” of my own.

Everygame for the last several years Section 118 immediately below the Acela Club gets overrun with opposing fans. It is clear that the tickets are bought directly from the GU ticket office by scalpers. There are about 15 or 20 familiar faces in all in the entire section the rest is an ever-changing sea of obnoxious idiots (rows Y & Z are particularly bad, but maybe that’s because they are right behind me and always occupied by some different loudmouth d-bag from the opposing school – even South Florida had obnoxious assholes this year, SOUTH F*CKING FLORIDA, they don’t even have fans, or graduates!).

The problem is when my buddies and I told the ticket office we wanted to buy some of those seats we were told they were unavailable – we explained that those season ticket holders were scalpers and the seats were never occupied by the same person they just ignored us and said the seats were already sold.

I’m all for outing no-good traitors who sell their tix to opposing fans, but I’m not sure we can expect any action from a ticket office that does precisely the same thing and doesn’t give a damn.

Finally, any sucker who has access to duble stuffed oreos and isn’t turning them into quadruple stuffed oreos and tossing the extra cookie cap is a sucker and out to get evicted from the basement.

I don’t know who is giving away front row tickets to the opposing fans, but I am tired of seeing Orange or Blue or Gold in this otherwise sea of grey.

I’m in the last row of 121. I brought my new girlfriend of 4 months and her brother/his girlfriend. Great people, but they are from Rochester. You catch my drift. At least they had Cuse gear on, but it wasn’t orange, at least. Another Cuse fan on girlfriend’s right (2 away from me) was the most obnoxious prick I’ve ever encountered. About 55 years old. He ripped on Georgetown the whole game, as I did Syracuse. My girlfriend was horrified. After Jason Clark was swiped on his head, chin, shoulder, hip, and knee on one play under the hoop, and no foul was called, I went apeshit. The Cuse fan looks at me and says, “Hey man, that should have been a foul.” Easy to admit that when you are up 34-4. I look at him, tell him “No shit it’s a foul, you fuckin’ idiot.” My girlfriend tries to climb under the chair in front of her. He looks at me…“You don’t have to be an asshole.” My response…“I am as God made me, old man river.” Silence. Literally the only good part of the evening.

Anyway, I guess my point is that I’m an out of town season ticket holder for the last 4 years, and this is my first time I’ve brought opposing fans. It won’t happen again, regardless if I’m still dating this girl or not. After my performance that night at the game, I’d say the odds are 50/50 of it lasting until next season….especially if Syracuse beats us again.

she didn’t really cheer for Cuse because she knew how much of a miserable prick I’d be the rest of the night if we lost. And she found out shortly after tipoff how that would work out. After a casual stroll to Irish Channel for a few Heinekens to blow off some steam post-game, I walked back over to the Green Turtle to meet her, and unknowingly, about 2000 other Syracuse fans. She found me shortly after midnight outside of the restroom where I had passed out trying to choke myself to death with my Casual Hoya headband. Thanks for the gift, guys!

In the words of John Riggins, “I think he has a dark heart”. Whoever has the tix license for those seats has consistently sold them to the highest bidder to opposing fans for all the big games this year! Every damn one!! FU@#K YOU!!!

How do you upload a jpg into a casual hoya post. Keeps asking me for a url. I’ve got a jpg file. Does it need first be posted to a web site or can it be uploaded onto casualhoya?
