Florida State in Newark Roll Call

+1 in spirit from my couch in Atlanta.

My mom is an FSU alum, not sure if she’s aware they have basketball team.
 
I would go but it’s in Newark which is a long drive and I don’t wanna drive 3.5 hours there and back

The place is setup for UConn fans starting at 2, I'll probably get there around 4 since i have to get through the WBB highlights before I run out the door.
 
I also saw that FSU is scheduled for their pregame gathering at Redds on their facebook.....

Loading up the car and about to head to Jersey City, let’s go!!!
 
+ the fam = 4

This would be a huge win to get some more national pub....maybe top 25
 
Undoubtedly this will be the first game, when we are outmatched down low, that the refs don’t call a foul on every instance of contact

I don’t understand how schools like FL state, who have had some basketball success and have a ginormous football following, struggle to gain any kind of legitimate basketball following. Even if like 10% of their football following bought into the basketball program they would have a legit fan base. I watched the Florida State-Purdue game the other day their on campus 10k capacity field house wasn’t even half full, for a game on espn matching up 2 top 25 teams.

Overall, a decent crowd. They only used used the lower bowl and suites, many which were surprisingly occupied, as the upper deck was curtained-off. Looked to be mostly UConn fans with a few FSU fans here an their, like the couple with the FSU colored ugly Christmas sweaters in front of me (they were good sports). The atmosphere was only so-so; but, I blame a lot of that on the refs as the early an often video reviews at the start of both haves took away the rhythm and fun out of the game. Maybe 8K in attendance. Not surprisingly, there were a good number of Clemson fans walking around when I entered the Rock. For some reason, there are a lot of kids from Jersey who go to Clemson for college (in my town, its Virginia Tech). MSG it was not.

Did not make the UConn pre-game at Redd's Biergarten as it looked crowded and I had my two you boys with me. So I had burgers with my boys next door at Novelty Burger, which a few other UConn fans did find.

Parking was $30, which was a joke; but, couldn't do anything about. Need to remember to park off of Layfayette Street instead, which is usually just $20, instead of Market (its $15 by the strain station; but, not walking over there at night in Newark with my kids). I did make it home in 25 minutes after leaving our seats, which was good as I had a soccer certification class to take at 8 AM this morning.
