If I'm in the marketing department I'd take the Long-Term approach and try and create new fans while their young some how.


At Monday's game I noticed quite a few families with small children, especially for a Monday night game. I guessed they were attending in response to the Foster Care Night promotion that allowed those who donated a gift or were licensed foster care families to attend free. (Congrats to Athletics for sponsoring the event!) I would like to see more and expanded promotions at every game that encourage attendance by families, youth organizations, or local schools with kids who will become fans and want to come back again in the future. Fill the empty seats in the upper deck with kids. Even if they get free admission the one time, many will return, plus almost all will contribute by purchasing refreshments at the concession stands. Some may even want to attend Valpo when they graduate high school. Empty seats can't do any of that.

Oh. So this is how a class conference works?  That is very refreshing.

Coach Ragland is a great coach and we're very lucky to have him on our staff. I hope he stays with Valpo for at least a few more years.

Can we get a coaches radio show going with Coach Lottich for Valpo Basketball? A lot of coaches have a radio show where they broadcast from restaurants to talk about their team.

It would be great advertising for the Team to get the Coach out in the community at local restaurants around NWI. Have a 3 man radio broadcast group of Coach Lottich, Todd Ickow and Paul Oren, weekly or bi-weekly during the season. Fans could come dine at the restaurant and listen to the live broadcast and chat with coach during the season. I'm sure there are plenty of restaurants who would be very willing to partner with Valpo Basketball for events like this.

Even IPFW has a coaches show!

I'm not sure what the costs of remote radio broadcasting would be but it might be a solid marketing idea for Valpo Athletics. Having a broadcast from a place like Figure Eight Brewing would be a nice location downtown.

And he grew an inch since this video. Coach Gore mention he grew a whole inch over the summer. I'm really excited to see how Mileek's game refines and develops over the next 4 years.

Yes, Derrik has armpit hair and either Rik didn't or shaved it.

The question now is will Derrik give up the facial hair to become a pro since his dad was clean shaven as a pro.

I remember meeting Luke on one of his first days at Valpo, while he was working with Intramurals. Valpo has been lucky to keep Luke around, and it sounds like Luke and his family love the closeness of the Valpo community. Great having a guy like this in our program and university.

Junior college transfer Markus Golder beginning to take flight for Valparaiso
Michael Osipoff
Post-Tribune
Nov 27, 2017

Markus Golder's athleticism jumps out.

Valparaiso's sophomore swingman has nine dunks, for example, with at least one in every game except Saturday's Savannah Invitational win over North Carolina-Wilmington.

As coach Matt Lottich said, "Markus has a unique ability to get above the rim."

But there's more to the North Idaho junior college transfer's game than his borderline freakish explosiveness.

The 6-foot-6 Golder evoked a parallel to senior guard Tevonn Walker, who typically has matched up against the opponent's top perimeter scorer and last season made the Horizon League's all-defensive team.

Very strong company to be in. It's early but I've been very impressed with Coach Lottich.

Ryan Fazekas went to the Bulls game and caught up with his old teammate Kris Dunn. Kris had some nice words about Ryan. I'm really looking forward to seeing Ryan play next season. He's an elite shooter with size. Hopefully he can add a few moves to his game this red-shirt year and come back strong next year. Next years squad has some serious talent.

Ryan does have a priestly look about him. As long as we don't play Providence then Go Friars!
