	Report Comment Da'Troof, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:12:04 PM) Nice job ORU. The games are fun to attend, snacks are reasonable, seats are comfy, with lots of legroom! Free parking! Maybe the best place in the state to watch basketball. Tulsa and the area in general, need to support the ORU program more.
	Report Comment Passive Juice Motel, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:23:10 PM) Why bother paying anything to watch basketball? I just make my own popcorn, and head on down to the Y. Those boys can play!
	Report Comment guy, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:28:58 PM) I recommend you rescind that comment. ORU is a great team. We should support them! Go OSU!!
	Report Comment Passive Juice Motel, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:30:25 PM) Whatever guy! You just made no sense! Don't make fun of my lifestyle! You don't know me guy! I saw you at Crawpappies last night. Don't think I don't know what's going on! Don't you beguile me guy!
	Report Comment guy, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:31:28 PM) Go ORU. You don't know, you don't know. I believe the Y is good basketball.
	Report Comment Passive Juice Motel, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:33:10 PM) You're just scared now guy. I'm on to you. I saw you doing cannonballs at the Y. Trying to get out of the pool like you're the man and cruising over to the life guard...
	Report Comment The Truth Hurts, (1/21/2009 4:43:56 PM) "Indiana (University) made a similar announcement, so we followed them" Exactly what I thought...I figured a great, historical, tradition rich b ball program like ORU would follow suit when Indiana cut prices. It makes sense that two perennial Final Four teams would do it at the same time...Oh wait...
	Report Comment coprau, Tulsa (1/21/2009 4:57:34 PM) Maybe he meant to say Indiana....University Purdue University Indianapolis... That is more ORU level.
	Report Comment Doug, (1/21/2009 4:59:11 PM) What about us poor saps who paid $17 per ticket as part of the season ticket package? What type of economic relief will we get? Do we get a refund of $12 per ticket?
	Report Comment Old Titan, (1/21/2009 5:20:17 PM) Your $17 season ticket has much more value - it guaranteed you the same seat for every game of the season (not just the ones that are left on the schedule), and in a premium viewing area. The $5.00 ticket promotion is for "best available" seating on a game-by-game basis, outside your area of the arena. That doesn't make you a "poor sap" - it makes you a "season ticket holder", which is a GOOD thing.
	Report Comment orufan06, (1/21/2009 5:27:10 PM) You can't buy $5 seats in the donor area... they are still $17 each for adults. The $5 seats are for end zone seats and the upper level seats. People still have to pay $17 to sit in the really good seats.
	Report Comment Pa alum, chambersburg (1/21/2009 8:42:00 PM) Good move ORU. YOu've good a very good product in a great environment. Combined with the need to have better fan support and the tough economic times, it makes perfect sense to offer the tickets for $5. In case anybody hasn't noticed, this team is going to sail through the Summit League and although ti isn't a very tough conference, it is still going to get ORU where they need to be, in the NCAA tournament. Go Eagles!
