Re: NCAA Semifinal, Clarkson vs the Ohio State University.
I have not watched Clarkson play this season but I do not doubt their #1 seed hasn't been earned and I hear very good things about this team.
That being said I do know Ohio State and they also earned their way here and not only do we have some very good players we have a brand new coaching staff that has been outstanding not only in their coaching ability but in how they've inspired this team to believe in themselves.
I hope they play to their full potential Friday, as if they do they will not likely be a pushover. No predictions on my part but I believe we have a legit chance to advance.

Re: NCAA Semifinal, Clarkson vs the Ohio State University.
If Ohio State can duplicate that performance vs Boston College, they can play with and defeat anyone in this Frozen Four. Win or lose, though, I love our team, and it has been an amazing ride this season! I am so proud of our coaching staff and the girls. And I am going to be there! That's right, I am finally making a trip to Ridder Arena! ARM, you will know this, do I need to get tickets now, or will I be able to buy them at the door? I would kind of like to see where the other OSU fans sit rather than just guessing, then ending up in the other team's section. Don't want to be that guy!

Will it sell out? Not close, unless Wisco' fans decide to drive over in numbers we've never seen before. But do you want to chance traveling this far and somehow wind up w/o a ticket? (That stupid ARM told me it wouldn't sell out!)"... And lose, and start again at your beginnings

Re: NCAA Semifinal, Clarkson vs the Ohio State University.
The best “seat” in the house is standing along the rail between the blue lines, but if you get tired of standing or it is too crowded along the rail you can always go to your seat, so buy your tickets ahead of time and grab a “seat” before it gets too crowded
If you stand facing the player benches you won’t have to look at all the championship banners but you can look at the team photos of your coaches right behind you (BC fans could have admired the pictures of their assistant coach if they had actually made it to the FF)

Clarkson seems to thrive on being underestimated.... I don't have any doubt they'll come hard this weekend. I think a rematch with Wisconsin is around the corner...Steve

Originally posted by ARM View PostUsually you can buy tickets through the OSU ticket office and wind up sitting next to other Buckeye fans. If you ask at the Ridder ticket window, that person may or may not know. The seats reserved for the teams aren't that great; typically, they are bench seats between the goal line and the faceoff dot, or thereabouts.

Some of the OSU Vote reflects posters voting their hearts & pledging allegiance to the Buckeyes. Most of the rest reflects posters lending support to two members of the OSU Coaching Staff. There may be a couple of contrarians in the mix.
Clarkson is the prohibitive favorite. In fact, I recommend that Clarkson rest its best players on Friday, in anticipation of the inevitable championship game appearance. Those stars shouldn't even travel until Sunday. You know, to save on hotel expenses.
