Old SWC call on Nebo. In those days, all blocked shots were called fouls, because, you know, blocking a shot is against the known laws of old white guy physics.

Fairchild if you are talking to me, you are preaching to the choir. Just because I put the blame on US, not BK. Only WE can change things.

Dan Dakich' played for Knight, and coached for him. Had a feeling he might speak up.



Yeah I know. I had just turned the game on and didn't realize he was calling this one. Definitely not one to hold back.

He and Ravech were appreciative of Gilly's efforts this past football season though

LOL - blaming the fans when it's the coach's fault.

What do you propose WE do? Cause WE ain't going to watch this clown show and our absence should speak volumes.

I'm sure constant talk of how bad things are gets old to some people, it's just hard to NOT talk about it.

I think toning it down in the game thread is friendly and supportive to the TexAgs business. But they don't mind generating noise and traffic and eyeballs so there is a balance imho.

This is a chicken or the egg situation. If we dump BK and go about the program like we have for however many years, there will be no change in the culture.

Under Melvin Watkins our national attendance average was outside the Top 100.

Under Billy Gillsipie and Mark Turgeon our national attendance average was Top 50.

Under Billy Kennedy our national attendance average will be outside the Top 70 after this season.



Don't sit there and spew this BS that we have to have some dynamite hire to "change the culture". We DID change the culture with the shift from Melvin to BCG/MT.

It was Billy Kennedy's time here that has cratered the "culture" -- not the lack of a premiere hire.

It's factually incorrect. Stop saying it.

Starks 3-13 shooting, 0-4 3 pt, 5 turnovers, 2 assists. Typical ****ty game.

If Starks is going to play this way with this effort I would almost say we're better with Collins on the court. That three he just jacked up was pitiful.

Oh Jesus. He had a terrible night. Let's not blame a 20 point beat down on one player.

Nor were they really super-duper successful - we finished ranked Top 20 once in those 7 combined seasons.

But we put out a competent, well coached team all 7 seasons.

That alone got us a Top 50 national attendance during that span.

Just think what we could do if we actually strung together some Top 20 seasons?

The fans are there -- they just know good basketball and they know crap basketball.

I'm not blaming the loss on one player. Team defense was terrible tonight as well. I'm just asking for consistent effort from him. It shouldn't be too big of an ask.

Reinforces the fact fan appeal and pride are big factors in a Program. Of course winning is tops, but I'd venture to say most of a fan base didn't know how much fun it could be (no experience), and assumed top twenty type results had happened every year during those 2 regimes.

Now, was that lightening in a bottle for a starved fan base? Or, had a new culture been built, attracting new fans. who attracted more new fans, and players, and expectations? Wonder what the difference just in Texags traffic was?
