My dad told stories about driving up to Athens to see GT play the dogs on a rainy night and the old Woodruff Hall arena had a leaky roof. The floor had puddles with towels soaking up the water. Woodruff was closed in 1964 according to Wiki and replaced by Stegeman, so it's close to 60 years old. I went with my dad too see Pistol Pete play at Stegeman when he was at LSU. He scored 58 points in an OT game and made a half court hook shot at the buzzer for a 10 point LSU win.
From what I hear, the roof still leaks and occasionally chunks of concrete come showering down. Better wear your hard hat into that cesspool.
Bump. Time to take over that old dilapidated cesspool in Athens!
Better?
Didn't mean this to be the official game thread, just wanted to make a post about tickets. But you're right, that's on me — bad mojo!
He does rebound well and we need someone to do that.
And he is a pretty good interior scorer when we need a bucket. He's got some good qualities that he offers, and I'm glad we've got him.

I took a wait and see approach with Stoudamire. Being a very casual basketball watcher it has been hard for me to figure out what he‘s doing. That being said he’s delivered 2 exciting games in a row. He seems to understand what’s in the heads of these young men. He seems to not have pissed off Studivant or Coleman, they are filling their roles nicely. He seemingly rightly put a lot of faith in 2 Freshmen, despite claiming he’s ride the same starting lineup he changed it with good results. The ones not “following directions” are now understanding what riding the pine feels like. I’m sure it’s temporary.
Maybe coach is still waiting for full buy-in from Abram? He is very athletic, but in the first four games didn't show (best I could tell) a lot of energy on defense and was not a distributor on offense. I hope Abram figures it out cuz he can offer important minutes if he can tap into his potential in the way coach wants.
Maybe it is more about Abrams not doing everything CDS feels like he should be doing to get on the court than actually ability.
