Creighton Sell-Out
- Thread starter PF58
- Start date
No official word yet. The fact that the game is on Peacock helps as many fans don't have access. Student participation will probably be light that's why the school is discounting tickets.
This is a very difficult matchup for the Pirates. They seldom play well against McDermott's teams. Willard used to always say the most difficult coach to prepare for was not Jay Wright but McDermott.

I will be there along with 6 family members so that should help fill up the place.
I am one of those people who did not renew my 3rd row seats. While it’s nice that Seton Hall is doing well, it’s still not the same. The bond between team and school is not there. In the end, each one of these players are not Seton Hall. Most of the players will be gone. A new crop of mercenaries will come in. No longer will you have legendary Pirates that you will follow forever like Jerry Walker, Terry Dehere, Sha, or Mamu.
The game has forever changed and not for the better.
I hope that players that are still eligible, like Naj, Budd, Fisher and others will see that coaching and the winning is working for them. That the NIL distraction is not a problem and that they are enjoying playing for SHU. Hopefully Sha will bring in a new additional crop of players who will continue to elevate our game.
Nothing may ever be as good as Terry and Jerry, or richie and walter. Or IW AD KC
But if Seton Hall is still playing and if we are playing well in a jammed Rock, it is pretty damned good for me.
I think Simpkins does. Parker and Williams too?
Thats fine . I for one root for the name on front of jersey not the back. Ill renew my tickets till either the program disbands or I croak whichever comes first..
Parker, Budd, Simpkins, Hines, Williams. Need all of them back. But still a long way to go this year!

My Paterson crew will be there in full force !!!
Exactly, the only year that counts is this year. There will be a very nice size crowd at the Creighton game.
This is where I am too. I hate what’s happened but it’s not going back.
And I’m just engaged with this team despite all the new players. Winning and relevancy creates connection too, LOL.
This! Mercenaries is exactly what they are. This is now my third season in a row without tickets (after 20+ with tickets). At the time, I felt it was right but there was some doubt that I might regret it. It ended up being a good decision, I don't regret it for one second.
They are our mercenaries, playing hard, playing by the screwed up new rules, getting more positive references for SHU, representing us well.
I am all in. And if we suck again soon, i will remember this turnaround, remember the good times with the friends I sit with, bite the bullet and hope for a better season next time. I love basketball and SHU basketball even more.
I don't believe so. I can watch a game when I choose to do so and don't have to plan a schedule around schlepping to Newark. When you're not invested as you used to be, it's perfect.
Going or not going is a personal choice. Last season was tough and I opted out. This season is different despite no real blue-chip talent. At the end of the day there should be at least 9-10,000 fans there. I'll take it and the chance to beat Creighton. The 3OT game from a couple of years ago was one of the best Hall games I have been at. Reminded us of the Pitt game when Grant B. was igniting the crowd which I believe was at the Meadowlands??
Keep delivering your special kind of joy to this Board.
Still early but I consider the hall the biggest surprise in NY metro area sports in 2025. Who doesn't love a story On a collection of overachievers?
Yet hardly any mention or hype.

Getting one and paying for one, even for a month or two. isn't a problem. But only hardcore fans would do that and most will be at the game.
It's been good to see the crowds at The Rock against Rutgers and Villanova. Granted those two always draw well, but the crowds were not buoyed by those other fans. I thought the % of SHU fans for those games was even higher than it typically.
The program is back to playing like a Top 40 to 50 this year, we're in line for an NCAA bid as long as we take care of business, so hopefully the fans support and make it a good experience after last year's mess.
Still think Sunday at 12 on a football day will keep attendance down. Hope to be wrong.

I subscribed last November 30 on a 1-year-for-$19.99 deal, which was a major bargain. This Past October, I finally cut the cord in favor of YouTube TV and let Peacock lapse on Nov. 30, since Peacock is already ingested by YouTube TV. I get it for “free” now, which is great.

When we play ru, i always hate hearing the r u chant, cause it means we are losing and cause i wish we had some catchy cheers. SHU, rhymes with blue and we have never got past lets go seton hall clap clap clapclapclap.
Exactly what I did. Saved over $150/month cutting off cable too.
I also didn't renew for the same reason, and I regret it. I can't stay away, so I am constantly looking for tickets. I'll end up spending more money on fewer games this year. I wish they would go back to the old transfer portal rules.
Normally I would agree with you…but I don’t know ANY Giant or Jet (if which I am one, and a season season ticket holder) fans who are locked in to watching their team this week.
I get it that the NFL is bigger than even just the local teams, but that indifference should mute the football fervor
