When is Hamrick

[bbneutralfan]

Going to make public the seating arrangements in the Joan? Just saying seating will be 30-50 percent dies not say who is sitting where. And how does WVU eliminate fans at their opening game and we don’t? I mean the clock is ticking towards opening kickoff and nothing from the AD or the president. Also are they going to permit tailgating on state property? For people coming in from out of town and out of state the leaders need to be getting this info out. JMO

Hamrick stated yesterday it will be 20-30 %
He also said there can be tailgating up to groups of 25

My guess is you'd have to do something with a combination of General Admission and the use of ushers. The groups attending are going to be irregular in number, so if a group of six people comes in, followed by a group of two, you wouldn't just put all eight in a row, each six feet apart. You'd seat the group of six, then seat the group of two six feet away, and so on.

My hat is off to folks buying season tickets for their contribution to the program, but those folks need to be sure and keep in mind that's what they're doing. None of the games on the schedule are guaranteed to happen, and any of them can be cancelled the morning of the game if either team has an outbreak. Nevermind that the season might not end, there might not be a championship, and there's a chance none of this will mean anything in the history of college football.

Not that strictly intra-C-USA play is going to matter to anyone anyway, I mean that even within the context of C-USA it won't mean anything.

So you're mad about the AD not communicating about something as unpredictable as a virus, and when he does, it's not enough? Among your complaints is a demand for Mike Hamrick to explain why WVU is doing things differently?

The season will be over well before November 14

The season will be over well before November 14

I agree. I don’t think the season will get out of October.

And how does WVU eliminate fans at their opening game and we don’t?

Why does what WVU does matter to you, and why should what WVU does effect what we should or should not do?

But if you need it explained to you:

MU students - Mostly from WV or the immediate tri-state. And yet more so, while there are many exceptions, mostly from the I-64 corridor, lower Ohio valley, or upper coalfields. Decent kids, trying hard to get an education and have a better life.

WVU students - Vast majority from out-of-state. Majority of those from the epicenters of this "pandemic" - New Jersey and DC suburbs. Rich. Drunk. Irresponsible. Self-selected themselves for the WVU experience, which is four years of drinking and parties, over 100 others open to rich kids. Unlikely to follow JJ's advice and just "follow the ****ing guidelines" (already having massive problems as the New Jersites returned and immediately held reenactments of Animal House.)

Marshall fans and alumni - While there are plenty of exceptions, mostly from the immediate area. Decent hard working people. People who have already figured out how to deal with current events. Mostly there to, yes, have a good time, but to watch the game and support their team.

WVU fans - Most importantly a statewide and western PA group. Potential to spread a Weirton infection to Bluefield, or a Martinsburg one to Parkersburg. But also remember who they are. Uneducated hilljacks. People whose only outlet, other than a drunken week in Myrtle Beach (how did that work out? ) , is a drunken Saturday in a town they never have been in otherwise, rooting for a school they never attended, before returning to their dark lives in whichever holler they rarely otherwise leave. Remembering that massive drunkenness and redneckish behavior, and the accompanying irresponsibility, is more important to them than the game.

MU's purpose - A co-equal member of a great conference that is governed by consensus of its membership.

WVU's purpose - One of the Little 8. Paid to provide semi-legitimate cover for the Big 2. Said Big 2 totally running the operation, unwilling to risk their eventual victories over this, particularly over its red-headed stepchild member, remembering how for from the pandemic area the rest of the Little 8 are.

Finally, a Sam post that I can agree with 99%. (CUSA is not a great conference)

 

[riflearm2]

WVU students - Vast majority from out-of-state.

52% vs. 48% is not a “vast majority,” Samantha.

Not that it matters to us... But Duke announced today that they are going to start the season with no fans and no on-campus tailgating. They may reavaluate mid-way through the season. The rumor down here is the rest of the ACC may follow suit (much to the chagrin of all the Clemson diehards where I live).

Yeah they emailed season ticket holders and Iron Dukes this morning. They will NOT have any public attendance this year.
I’m now down to Marshall as our Ohio State and Duke home games are poof for this season.

You mean you've arisen to Marshall, slipping free from the shackles of those other fandoms.
