Members of the student fan group "The Mob" were able to watch the end of practice, getting food from Raising Cane's and shirts from the team. The SMU cheer team was there to greet the fans. An estimated 300 students had lined up to enter before the doors to Moody had even opened for them and over 600 in total attended.

The Mob actually are very pissed at admin rn, so we had the Mob tip-off party yesterday, and it was great to see the guys scrimmage. But on Sunday the day before it was announced this was when people were going to be relieving their tickets, not in a camp out as tradition. After receiving food and watching the guys scrimmage a bit ( which as great) there was supposed to be an introduction to the team. But people panicked, and wanting to get 112 tickets, everyone tried to leave to go wait for tickets. Then they announced that tickets were just going to be GA and at each game they would give 112 seats to the first 130 people there from 1.5 hours before tip off. Now everyone is confused if regular students can get these seats, if regular students can even go to the games anymore, people are annoyed they didnt tell us before this event what the new policy was, and basically they made all these changes without telling us. In fact alot of people didnt know that the tickets were being given out at the event on money night which left many not able to go because by sunday it was to late to change plans. Admin [deleted] the students.

If the net net of that long pp is that the MOB seating will be first come first serve starting from 1.5 hours before tip off - that is a very good thing. It is much better than some stupid pt system that rewards b.s attendance which nobody normal would subject themselves to.

The first come first served bit, I understand, was implemented at the request of the students via the student body president.

Doors of Moody open 90 minutes before tipoff. Send pledges?

First come first serve is the standard for most schools in football and basketball

Yup, no problem with this change. If Mob members want the center section seats, then get there early.

Get used to it newcomer. At least they did not jack the price of your tickets and force you out of your section.
