This guy sets VERY aggressive goals.

Finding a Belmont fan is basically climbing Kilamanjaro.

You need to set goals that are reasonable or else you are doomed to failure.

Got mine yesterday, same section for Drake.

By the way, I'll be selling all sessions for Drake Night for the fourth straight year

This was last year's chart. Drake is in 117-119 again?

Posted this on the Saluki board but will copy-paste in case anyone here knows:

I haven't heard this discussed, but I'm guessing they went to Sunday finales across the league the last couple years due to TV slot availability? It probably would be better for the teams to finish on Saturday like they used to, in order to allow for more rest/prep time leading up to Arch Madness, especially with most teams now having to start on Thursday. It's a pretty quick turnaround now with finishing on Sunday and then having to head to St. Louis rather quickly.

Also would be better for the fans to have more time to know when their team is playing.

They went to Sunday for TV and officials. If you've got a winner take all game or something really important for seeding, you'd much rather have the officials we have mid-week and on Sunday than relying on the 'Saturday Night in the Valley' boys.

I think the UNI-Loyola game a couple years ago was the tipping point. I'm thrilled UNI won but, hoo boy, did Loyola get a terrible whistle all night.

As to knowing when your team is playing. That's a uniquely SIU phenomenon. None of the rest of us are really close enough to not just plan on making a weekend of it anyway regardless of when we play.

A Belmont section? Might as well have a Lochness Monster and Bigfoot section while you’re at it.

Seating chart for Arch Madness???

Someone always puts it here, if they have it.

If SIU's section is near certain "other" schools' sections, I have to prepare myself mentally. I'll just leave it at that.
