DeSmetBilliken Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Depending on how you want to count it, between 20-25 years. I'm 25 now, and we have a picture of me at a game when I saw somewhere around a year old. The first year where I knew what was going on to some extent was the 1989-90 season (Anthony Bonner's senior year). I may have had some vague understanding of what was going on during the 1988-89 season, so basically my rememberance of Billiken basketball dates back to the NIT Finals years.

Billikan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thus begins my 42nd season of attending Billiken games. How many for everyone else? My dad started taking me to games in the mid 50s when I was a kid so it has been about 55 years! Does anyone remember the huge Nordmann brothers?

Does anyone remember the huge Nordmann brothers? I'm related to the Nordmanns. Never saw them play, though - I'm too young. My dad and I have had season tickets for six years - I think. He has had them about 10 or so now but we have been going to games together for a long time - probably 20-plus years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Fourteen years since I waved my first sign and made my first Billikens web site. We moved to Billikens.com in 1999. This thread actually made me realize, this is Billikens.com tenth season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 30th year of attending games, my first game I attended was at the ripe old age of 3 months. 6th year as season ticket holder in my own name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't have the privilege of attending many games, but this is my 21st season of being an ardent Billikens (and Tigers) and college basketball fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't have the privilege of attending many games Yo, Steve -- you need to install a Hicks autoalert PM system. Between me and Skip, I bet we had a spare seat to virtually every game last season. (In my case, at least two of our four seatholders usually show up, so it would be easy to hand off the tickets right at the door.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
