It's going to be our toughest game of the year to draw fans. With that said, I need all the help i can get since we will be on TV again and I need it to look as good as possible. Please PM me if interested in a special deal for my CSFMB brethren.

Hope all is well with you.

I'd like to get to a game at some point, I just don't know if I will be able to.

I'm a no.

If it were a nooner, I'd be in...gotta work though that evening.

:idea: An idea though....come on out to Balmoral Park in Crete after the game and bet on the trotters. Post time is 7:10pm. I can almost guarantee that Michael Oosting should win at least two of the races. Go as a group and I could get you guys on camera and you'll be broadcast to all the OTBs and even out to Vegas. Maybe I could convince the graphics person to put up a page that says "Balmoral Park welcomes CSFMB and the ISOP" after which Dominic Polito (the track announcer) could announce a special at the grill on burritos (unfortunately they don't make burritos...only quesedillas and tacos). I highly recommend the steak tacos there if you go. 8) Still waiting to see JORR there.

Anyway, GO RUSH! Yay Bob McMillen! And then come to Balmoral and "Have Fun and Win Money!" (See what I did there?)

That better be worn to any board event you attend in the future.

I used to play in the same peewee basketball league as QB Russ Michna. I'll always remember that "Russy's" dad coached his team, and the whole team's strategy was to basically give Russ the ball and get the fuck out of the way. He was always good for 30+ of the team's ~45 points during any given game. The supporting cast only got points off of rebound slop or if there was a wide-open layup there when Russ had a triple team in the lane or something.

We had them in the playoffs and I remember our coach's son, this kid Ken Frazier, went out of his way to get in front of a charging Michna around midcourt. He had been there for a few seconds and even crossed his arm praying to draw a charge, and sure enough Russ pretty much charged right at him and leveled him, sending him flying. The foul was called on Ken and the resulting free throws helped the fighting Michnas ice the game, which was close and competitive late.

Suffice to say, the scars from that loss haunt me to this day whenever I slip into a mental funk and go forward writing 28 paragraph messages that nobody reads.

selective photograph and the cheap seats. That was Good Friday night home game. This weekend will be bad too. Try looking up our home opener or April 30 and get back to me. You've barely told the story with that picture other than we do not draw well on holiday weekends.

Levi,
If you would like a seven page documented paper on where this franchise is at compared to when we were selling out the arena for every game before the league couldn't get themselves together it won't happen. Clearly you know very little about the business.

I actually sat here and watched most of the game. Nice win to pull out at the end.

Should have gone to the game with us. :wink:

It was a great time. Fun crowd and really nice for families. We got on the Jumbotron early and the rest of the game was spent trying to repeat it.

Big thanks to WR. We'd love to do it again sometime!

I won't comment on what other people do and don't find interesting. That photo could depict a full stadium, and my desire to attend a Rush game would not change in the least.

Sorry to upset you.


Picture didn't upset me. Pictures don't lie. That was how our attendance looked for that game. We have a ton of work to get back to where we used to be. I just wasn't sure what the point was of posting that in regards to me doing something for some board members. Seemed like going out of your to prove..I'm not for sure what.

Spaulding has a beautiful family! I'm so glad she and the fam made it. Glad to see some jumbotron face time for the kids too. Next game is June 26th, expecting one of our bigger crowds of the year. First touchdown we score the crowd will toss teddy bears on the field for a charity to be named this week. Thanks again Spaulding!

Is the June 26th game also at 3pm? If it's earlier, I could go and would love to go. 8)

That's unfair Douchebag. That photo is from the third inning...the stadium had at least double that in the first inning before the Sox went down 15-0.


But you weren't being an asshole? :lol:
