Rod, at least you have watched them, some of the people that were coming to 
the games had never been to a women's college game, they didn't know the 
women's game doesn't have a 10 second rule. Also the other thing that has me 
mad is how the university has jumped the season ticket bandwagon, now that 
the women are winning they have opened the ticket sales for new holders till 
the end of march. It will be interesting to how long these people will 
support the program when they start having the 20-10, 18-12 seasons.
