Was there a good crowd? Size wise, any speculation on size or numbers out there? Was it a good, well run event by the A.D.?

It was pretty cool. If I had to guess I'd say there was a lil over 2k there. One thing I do know is, if I was a high school player I'd want to play for Cohen!

The crowd might been north of 3K. I think that's an awesome crowd considering.

I thought it was very well run for what it was. The crowd was also really good in my opinion. I wouldn't give an estimate on numbers but from the start of the first base dugout all the way around third base was pretty well covered. Of course there were scattered empty seats throughout but a better turnout than I expected on a week night. One thing I'd like to add, our players took the time to sign a **** ton of autographs. My son wanted the whole team on a ball and he got it but it wasn't because he was aggressive, it was because the guys took the time to do it. Wes Rea really made a big impression, signing stuff next to the third base dugout and told several people to meet him by the gate down the line for pictures.

Thanks guys, I'm glad to hear it went well and was well run. Wish I could have made it but got to much going on right now.

I don't think there's another school in the country that would've gotten that kind of turnout.

Watched it on Hail State TV, nice tribute to a great bunch of guys. Somebody just tell Detz when you're being publicly recognized @ an event like this, during Roll Call no less, it would be a good idea to tell whoever you're talking to on the phone you need to call them back when you take the field though and acknowledge the respect

I'm going to go ahead and say he probably did that on purpose. Like being cool and kidding around kind of thing.
