So, I like the new basketball floor, but I'd prefer a parquet style, a la the Boston Garden style. Have we ever done a parquet/Celtic style floor?? It's a very unique look. I think we missed an opportunity.
I look at the players on that team and that was a very, very good team that probably under-performed.aggiejohn said:
We had a subtle parquet look in the 2008-ish era:
The team won the preseason NIT and was ranked in the Top 10 as late as January 19. They limped into the end of the season and squeaked into the NCAA's as a No. 8 seed.JJxvi said:
Kinda disagree. We were really good, there could conceivably be a debate to be had between that team, 2009-10, and the 2015-16 team for which is the 2nd best A&M team of this era. In 2008 we were in an extremely strong conference, where all the **** teams were in the other division (for scheduling), and then basically because of that we got ****ed on seeding and still almost beat a team that went to the final four. In 2016, there was basically only one other team in our conference that was very good. We could have won a couple extra games I guess, and ended up with a stronger looking season I guess, but I'm not sure its really "underachieving"
It was a strong and deep roster, but its hard to be really great without a true star player, which that team didnt really have. I think we underachieved more the next year.

Lol at the idea of anything being "very" unique, let alone the idea of ripping off arguably one of the 3 or 4 most famous courts.

I consider the fact that nobody told the OP "WTF the court was parquet until just like 5 years ago" to be a win for courtesy.

That State Farm sponsorship of the Lone Star Showdown in all sports was a major corporate sponsorship.

You mean a ripoff of the Memphis Grizzlies?

That says it all.
