  1. I'm not going to say that some blame isn't deserved among UT basketball fans for not filling up the arena, but a lot of the problem can be fixed by replacing the Erwin Center. The other part of it is simply having a shot at being a winner, and Beard gets us closer to that. The Erwin Center is one of the worst sporting facilities I've ever been in. It's way too big, and the seats are too far from the action. There's no investment in the entertainment aspect of basketball, such as hyping up fans with good highlight videos, using PA sound wisely, and creating excitement for fans as they arrive into some sort of festive atmosphere. It's just a big old ugly tomb where we watched Shaka suck the life out of the team and fans like some sort of primordial lamprey. Those of us who knew Shaka was bad had to sit there and wait for him to leave for five years. It was torture! The new arena is going to make a massive difference in jumpstarting our atmosphere, comparable in my opinion to UH's remodel of their own lifeless arena into the Fertitta Center. Chris Beard will give us momentum as well if we can having a solid showing in the tournament. Students will find going to games and being in the middle of the action fun again, and hopefully CDC gets the other elements of pregame and halftime. A very easy addition to me would be to showcase some of the recent stars we've had in the NBA and showcase them in the new arena. The atmosphere will be noticeably different in the coming years, and hopefully a total 180 from what it's been.
  2. This is a mediocre Beard team, not a good one. I’m not convinced Beard is coaching us well on offense to this point. “They’ll be prepared for the tournament.” Prepared to do what? Grind out a game or two and get upset in the same period by good guards?
  3. Galindo will call them Tre, Mitchell, and Dylan to maximize confusion
  4. Glad my VC deals are going to work out much better than that
  5. We're not just struggling on offense; some guys, especially the guards, are regressing. It could just be a poor schematic fit with Beard, but good coaches make it work better than he has to this point. Hopefully Beard gets things rolling by the tournament, but we don't have a Culver or Zhaire Smith on this roster to save him. Pessimism and déjà vu are starting to creep in again for me
  6. “The situation is fluid”
  7. You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big You're not the boss of me now You're not the boss of me now You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big Life is unfair
  8. On par with getting Malik if that happens, arguably better because we know Sark can develop Stewart
  9. Yeah, he curb stomped us in the semis. Thought he’d be a sure thing
  10. I think we all know why Roach will be there: the Takis products
  11. My submission froze for about ten seconds. Unbelievable.
  12. Paging @Machinator
  13. Jerritt’s squads choke every year in the postseason
  14. Send a creeper pic from behind the bushes
  15. Just got back from having a CFS at Street’s in Dallas. I’m not posting a pic because I’m not a petite Asian girl with a Yelp Elite account.
  16. Yeah, people are reacting because it's kind of stupid to say you want one over the other when our whole line is dog shit
