[QUOTE=ninerfan55;389564]i dont understand why anyone would want to schedule app. state. they are good enough that they can beat us on occasion and not good enough that if we beat them that we gain any credit for it. i would rather schedule an elon, nc a&t or usc-upstate as local games. particularly early in with all the new guys we will be breaking in we will need a few games to get the guys to gel together.[/QUOTE]
QFT!
Don't mind me, I'm just having a bad day. Sorry. It was meant to get a chuckle out of guys like Run49er.
No problem.
And it did! :smile:
Of course, as usual 
I am going to bring it up b/c it use to be a good home/home, Indiana? I know Creen is the coach and a former rival coach in CUSA. Did him and Bobby have a good relationship? After all Indiana is pretty horrible right now, shouldnât be too big of a problem for them.
Once âThe Saviorâ leaves Exit 30 after this season, playing the Goosekillers will be the equivalent of playing App. State. They will occasionally be good enough to beat you, but beating them will do nothing for you. Theyâll go back to playing three or four Non-D1 schools each season that will kill their RPI, as well as ours.
La Salle's Tom Gola Arena hosted Florida State Duquesne's campus hosted West Virginia St. Bonaventure's campus hosted Mississippi State and so on.I wouldnât be too quick to sell Halton Arena short.
Some of the teams the Niners have hosted as NON-CONFERENCE Opponents in Halton:
Indiana
Alabama
Miami (Big East at time)
Tennessee
USC
Colorado
Mississippi State (ughh)
Temple (non-conference at time when Cheyney was still coach)
As for my preference⌠I say [SIZE=5]SCHEDULE OREGON, AND EVEN ALLOW THEM TO BRING THEIR CHEERLEADERS !!! :shades::shades::shades:[/SIZE]

Over, so the youngsters knowâŚthat USC was South Carolina and we blew them out by nearly 30 points. AND, that came either just before or just after blowing out a pretty decent Miami (pre-ACC days) Hurricanes team by 20+, if memory servesâŚu might want to add Miami to that listâŚAlso, Tennessee took a beat down to the Niners in Halton back in the late 90s.

I knew youâd come through. Thanks.
I heard a rumor from a guy in one of my classes â I donât believe it, but I guess itâs somewhat possible.
Charlotte will play @ Duke next season.
Itâs possible since both teams are to be in the Pre-season NIT. I donât know that Duke would buy a game with the 49ers, but maybeâŚ
Regardless, a Charlotte at Duke game means nothing to us. The only tickets available would be the team comps and any leftovers would go to the biggest donors/suits.

Not if itâs an NIT game⌠the school wonât handle tickets if thatâs the case⌠correct?
There wouldnât be tickets available, lew. You have to donate $5000 minimum to the Iron Dukes just to get on a list for possible season tickets. They have no public tickets for sale, unless the students do not pick theirs up because they are on break. The only option is through brokers or hoping to scalp outside of Cameron.
But why get excited until there is some truth to this?

Season tickets donât get you into PNIT games. You have to buy them through the promotor of the PNIT, therefore we have a chance.
It would be handled the same way, Duke folks would get their regular seats if they pay for the PNIT package. You might have a handful available but those fans are not your âtypical average fans.â
The average fan doesnât know how hard it is to get Duke ticketsâŚ

From what I gather, Crean and Bobby do not have a good relationship since the former said that he would not schedule the Niners after MU went to the Big East and the Niners to the A-10. Of course, Iâve gotten the impression that Bobby pretty much didnât have any good relationships with his former colleagues in Conference USA since the only C-USA team (current or former) weâve played since being âshown the doorâ is Tulsa (with the exception of tourney matchups against Cincy in the 2006 NIT and Houston in Hawaiâi in December, 2006).

Maybe itâs better for us that way. He and Huggins were great friends and that didnât end wellâŚ

who does Bobby have a good relationship with in the coaching fraternity? A10 or otherwise.
Iâve heard him speak somewhat highly of Dr Giannini at LaSalle, but thats about it?

Um, Curry has one more year. He is only a junior this year
Speaking of taking over Davidsonâs arena⌠has there ever been an instance where there were enough opposing fans and the opponent rushed the court after a win on the road? That would be an awesome first, and none of you better call it classless, itâd make ESPN for sure.

Actually, non-D1 isnât factored into the RPI, so it canât be a killer.
Um, Curry has one more year. He is only a junior this yearHe may have been referring to the chance of him leaving for the NBA after this year.
