Yeah, he’s going to be really good. The kid is dripping with potential IMO. I just listened to the post game presser, and I do not recall Damon heaving that much praise onto anyone, much less a freshman.
He crushed the boards, both sides of the court. Huge effects using his length on any guards who dared approach the paint. 7 rebounds in 11 minutes of playing time. Yes he racked up 3 fouls but one was a phantom call and another was very soft. We don't need him to play 35 minutes and avoid 5 fouls - if he gives us 20, that's completely fine. I am excited at the possibility that Baye is gonna catch a breath and the falloff to his backup is not going to be as fatal as last year.
I agree. Both Doryan Onwuchekwa and Duncan Powell look like solid help inside. This could be a very good season.
I missed this interaction. What was this about?
I think he was just untucked
Really? Once again with the unnecessary and completely baseless assertion that I do not admit to my mistakes? There is not one time when I have not offered a mea culpa when I have been proven wrong. Your insistence to continue to post crap like this says more about your integrity, as well as your character, than mine. I would ask you to stop, but you lack the compunction to do so.
Crowd size was pathetic. Definitely < 3500 people. I'd be surprised if there was more than 1,000.
I apologize. I thought the entire thread was a light-hearted side show. I did not mean this to be taken seriously.
No worries. A just kidding would have helped. Sorry I snapped back
It's a similar size to McCamish. There are some similarities to Georgia Tech - similar student body size/alumni count, but I suspect most of their alumni stay close to home after graduating. They are a football-first school like we are also, but they were Top 25 last season and have made the NCAA Tournament 2 years in a row. But their attendance was decent even when they were bad. The biggest difference is they are in the middle of nowhere, so they have tons of sidewalk fans. Going to basketball games in the winter is simply the only option available for your entertainment dollars. People go to the games, the atmosphere is great, they have fun win or lose, and they return the next game. We're in a chicken+egg situation right now where the atmosphere in McCamish is atrocious, so people stay home - it's a fun experience for those of us on the board but we're an anomaly of rabid fans. Students have figured out during the Key era that they have fun at football games whether we win or lose, but they haven't collectively figured that out for the basketball student section.
