The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

On this morning’s conference call, the Dapper Sideline Don dubbed the Coliseum “one of the toughest places to play, I think, in America.” The sometimes snazzily clad Bob Huggins is intrigued.

When he met with the media today, Huggins was, of course, asked about his recent take on student seating.

“What we’ve done is we’ve basically sold out (all home games),” he said. “People can’t get a ticket. Then you walk in there and see that section empty, that section empty, that section empty, that section empty, and there’s people who want to come to the game. I just don’t think that’s right. I’m all for them having all the tickets they want, if they use them. If you’re using your allotment once every two years, it just doesn’t make any sense.”

Asked if he had suggestions – as in reducing the allotment or moving the seats – Huggins said he did, but “I’m not sure I want to share them with you at this particular time. I do have a lot of thoughts.”
