I think I heard Bobby say the Seniors will be honored AFTER the GW game. I think itâs because of having so many seniors (7 total team members) and playing on TV. Would throw off the warmups. So if true, everyone needs to stick around after the game.
[QUOTE=ChevEE;220161]Yes, senior night is at the GW game and NOT St. Bonna. Due to attendance, spring break, and families of seniors.[/QUOTE]
Yes, it was already reported that Senior day will be the GW game. My point is the ceremony will be AFTER the game. I donât think that has been made official by the Ath dept, though. It doesnât specify on charlotte49ers.com.
I think doing it after the game is a bad idea. I know with the TV deal and all it will be hard to do it before the GW tipoff, but itâs not fair to the players to do it after. If we donât win the crowd will be leaving in a hurry if they already hadnât, and the parents with little ones and the out-of-towners will be heading out also. If we canât do it before the game, I think we should wait until Saturday. The attendance for the St Bonny game may be less than GW, but I think more people will be there before the ST Bonny game than after the GW game.

I agree. It was sad to see most of the crowd leave as soon as the womenâs game was over on Sunday. Few stayed for the senior presentations.

This is not the way to honor the seniors. Can you imagine if we get blown out (which is possible with this team), then the players have to come back onto the court and face about 1000 people that are still there.
Do it before the game. You still have a week to spread the word for everyone to get there early.
The problem with the womenâs game was that practically the entire student section left to go get their tickets scanned and that took a while. By the time the line was mostly gone, Courtney was too. I thought that was kind of poorly planned, butI donât know what couldâve been done to avoid it aside from doing the senior stuff before the game.

I agree, but Iâm afraid it might be the same way before the game as well. The game starts at 7:00 on a Thursday⌠we have a hard time getting people in there by 7:30 on weeknights, so I doubt it will be very full at 6:30.
