Paul, aren't you a Yankee's fan?

 

[Haxormax]

Hmmm... slim pickins on TV. Don't they usually announce more TV later on in the year?

According to GMUHoops, Mason will host D3 Shenandoah in an exhibition game on Saturday November 8th.

Hope they don't charge regular season prices for that one. My brother went to the exhibition game against Lycoming (he's a Lycoming grad) a few years back and was charged the "real game" price. Kind of silly.

They usually do charge full price. Seems to me that they would be better off drawing in as many fans as possible, so as to simulate game conditions. But maybe there are some arcane NCAA or league rules about pricing?

You'd think with light attendance and full price, they'd play in the RAC so you'd get a close up view.

This would be an awesome idea, I'm still upset I was not able to go to the CBI game at the RAC

Is the exhibition game not included in the season ticket package?

 

[psyclone]

My memory may be off, but I recall that exhibition games were free and no seats were assigned.

You'd think. Then again, it's kind of like a dress rehearsal -- a way to get (re)acclimated to playing at the Patriot Center under game conditions.

I'm pretty sure it is. But for fans who are not season ticket holders, I'd hate to think they would charge full price.

That's for sure, I seem to recall a very successful coach losing an exhibition game..I could only imagine if the current coach did the same

Not to mention who the winning coach was for Randolph Macon, and where he went on to coach next.

Who was the Randolph Macon coach?

 

[mkaufman1]

I thought it was Mike Rhodes, and then I googled to check, and sure enough it was him. Why I know that, I'll never know.

I think he was only an assistant, but tomato toe mat oh.

 

[Vurbel]

I hear there is a Green-Gold scrimmage on Oct. 25. Has anybody heard a time on that? Thanks.

I prefer losing to Randolph Macon at the beginning of a season over losing to Duquesne and Fordham at the end of a season.

While these are just exhibition games, the non-D-I teams are highly motivated in playing D-I teams - see http://www.suhornets.com/sports/mbkb/2014-15/releases/201409114w6tjz.

 

[GSII]

Glad they are. Im praying we hold our own and hope our new guys arent so new.
