Talked to Ryan...it's happening.

Saturday January 21st vs New Mexico State we will have our own section next to the old tunnel (opposite the student section) for what we can call a Hecklers reunion...an adult student section...throwback fan day...whatever to get some of us to show what a real student section should be.

This is going to be open to anyone and everyone. The deal though is that you have to be engaged with us. Standing during the game, constant noise...energy through the roof (I'll take you just standing with us for numbers sake).

If you're interested, let me know. I think we'll be trying to make some sort of shirt for everyone, we'll get discounted tickets, we'll have a tailgate, and I'll see if we can all get a tour of the new facility.

Lastly, if you are interested...and even if you are not, I will want your help to spread the word and help market this. More details to come...we will start blasting it on Monday.

Let's party.

Fantastic. Will put it on the calendar for sure.

This is how we change the environment.

I haven't been to Texas in a few years, and haven't been to Nacogdoches since 2007. I'm seriously tempted to fly in for this. This is exactly the kind of thing the students need to see.

I'm old as white doggie doo, so I don't stand for extended periods either, but I can definitely be loud! If I make the trip, we should sit together so we can show the children how it's done!!

I bet we can get tickets in the section over for those that want to join but don't/can't stand. Happy to check.

I can vouch for this. Just the two of you would double the volume of the section no matter how many folks we get in that section.

We've got 16 people registered already. A bunch others have joined the FB page but not registered.

Seems like a very positive start.

Plan on returning to Nac for the GCU & NMSU games. I can go for the idea, the better half gets feisty when I threaten to challenge the dance lady on the dance cam so she is a no. Suspect she will encourage me to join the adult student section, so I'm a solid probably to join.

05-Butcher Boys pre game Thursday sound good if you don't mind hanging with the older set.

I have 50 seats reserved, talking to them tomorrow to see if I can get the first two rows in the next section over as well.

At the very minimum, those seats will be available at $13 each, but hoping I can get them on the same group rate ($5). Would love to have an option for everyone. And hope everyone can come tailgate and come to the game regardless!

I am down with that. Always like to meet a fellow Jack. Maybe we can get them to reserve that back room for us to have a meet up before.

I'm trying not to bother them too much this week, with the playoff game coming up, but I will eventually try to get us into the new practice facility.

I think there's going to be a decent amount of people that are going to come to this that haven't been back in a while, so it's a good opportunity to show them and try to "win them over."

Let me know if you need help with anything. I'll donate towards food, shirts, tickets, etc. I'll pick anyone up between Longview and Nac that Saturday as well.

Another update, up to 22 registered, most of whom I don't know...which is very encouraging.

And then they are going to make us a custom URL specific for us to purchase tickets in the designated section.

Lastly, there can be a $1 add on, which in turn can be used for as a donation to any 501c3. Leaning towards just a donation back to the PLF, or the basketball programs in general but open to ideas/options.

Hear me out here, a donation to PLF for Purple Haze(Axeperience)? That way Ryan can use it for some incentives and we can build some good will with the yutes?

I hear ya, but I don't know if they are an official organization any more with the University...or at least a 501c3.

But I like the idea, so I'll work on it.

For the section, if we've got tickets already do we need to buy them in that section?

I'm happy to give mine away and buy in that section if needed.

Good question, I'm going back and forth with Chris right now so I'll ask.

I'm assuming with a blocked off section, that it will be GA seating, but we shall see.

Check out our dedicated ticket link here!

I would ask that you pass along this link to anyone and everyone, it will help us tie things together on who has purchased.

Still working on the 501c3 or who the extra $ should go to, as well as additional non-standing tickets.

Guess who is getting an exclusive tour of the new practice facility? Our group.

Also, finalized that the extra ticket funds will be going to PHA/AXEperience.

Do you want to still sit (stand) with us? This goes for everyone of course that already has tickets, you should be able to walk over an join us. But...while I'm not telling anyone this is what you should do, I am transferring my existing tickets.

My preference would be the latter for everyone, so we can have a more accurate head count on who will actually be joining (I'm reporting numbers back to Ivey and the ticket guys).

Yeah. I'll transfer my previous tickets and use the sections tickets.

We're at 24 tickets sold already, that's basically 2.5 rows.

Which is 2 rows more than our current student section.
