Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 4537508, member: 7748"] Right!! Sports fans in particular and fans of entertainment are really missing out. I'm convinced that if folks seeking in person entertainment - sports or otherwise - attended a local women's game they would be surprised and well entertained. It is interesting how some programs get it right. I mentioned the Grand Canyon and I'd love to sit down and talk with their administration to find out how they got this so right. And thinking about this while I tend to be generally optimistic I guess in terms of the women's game I'm going to have to fall on the realistic side. Those of us who enjoy and support women's basketball will continue to do that. One troubling trend that I've noticed is that setting aside students there are a lot of gray hairs in the stands. At the last ASU game I attended there couldn't have been more than 200 of us in the stands excluding the band. Other than the band and a half a dozen young kids I would guess that the rest of us were over 55 and most over 65. If that anecdotal experience is generally true that certainly doesn't increase the long-term prospects of popularity. I'm thinking about the participation on the boneyard now. While I have no way of knowing I get a sense that the vast majority of posters are of our generation. I don't get the sense that there are very many 20s or 30s or even 40s on the board. [/QUOTE]
