That was Gerorge Washinton, the year they had one loss going into the conference tournament. First year in the A-10. 6000 people showed up at Halton Arena for a team that was ranked at least eigth in the country. 4pm, ESPN national Saturday of rivalry week. That was the day I knew we would never go big time, and were falling fast.
If somebody gives me a free ticket, I might go. Not paying to watch us this year, sorry.
First of all that team was a top 20 team coming into Halton, not top 10. Granted we shouldâve had more support, that game wasnât on ESPN either. The game at GW was on ESPN.
Get your facts straight before you make us look like crap.

Anything to remind us how bad the state of our program is, right MNH?
After this comment, everything you have ever said anti-Lutz means nothing.
Unless you live out of town, if youâre not going to the games then quit your damn complaining. Go be a Tar Heel fan.[/QUOTE]
I did put up cash to go to games for years, not anymore.
Everything I say means something. Youâve brought the Tar Heels up more on this board in the last week than I have in seven years between Charlotte.com, cusa-talk.com, and this joint. Worry about our own house first, you 20 year old tool.

âŚEven though Iâm a student I can agree with some people are saying.
-We have 7 winsâŚand guess what man? Other people PAY FOR THEIR SEATS.
-If they donât want to see this team, I can totally understand that. Since I get a free ticket I will go.

Thereâs a funny thing I find with your existence on this board. Why do you even bother following and posting if you no longer support the program? May be bitching is your hobby just like a few on here . . . .:shades:
good and accurate analogy. they sell out almost every game too. and they travel better than any team in the acc or socon.
There are also a ridiculous number of Ohio natives that end up in Charlotte. So chances are good that some of them went to DaytonâŚthe rest went to Ohio U
The NCAA play-in game has been played in Dayton amd first round games because of their passion for college basketball and loyalty to the University. The city (community, business leaders, MEDIA) embraces their University and athletics. Theyâve got it good.

I am worrying about our own house. Thatâs why I started this thread. I didnât start this thread for you to talk **** about our house and our program. Keep your filth in the Fire Bobby threads, itâs much easier to ignore you then. By the way, Iâm 22.
Wow, good info Lew. they usually have a good following. Their pep band usually comes to cheer them on and are annoying as heck! Please be loud. I hate listening to opposing fans all game while the front of 104 is heckling the water boy⌠Haha, I know yall mean well, but your efforts arenât heard up in 226.
The best was when Leemire got what was it? 24 points in 8 minutes or something⌠Anyways, I have my whole family coming tomorrow. My sis is going to be there for some YMCA something or another at the game. Letâs hope the team remembers to show up.
First of all that team was a top 20 team coming into Halton, not top 10. Granted we should've had more support, that game wasn't on ESPN either. The game at GW was on ESPN.

The game was definitely televised, because I worked in the production truck for it. I donât remember if it was espn or not.

Somebody paid for your tickets, too. Itâs part of your student fees, which were increased in the mid-90âs to pay for Halton. The principal is the same, either way, whether you are an alumnus or a student.

Alright way to be technical, Iâm just saying since Iâm not âdirectlyâ paying for my basketball tickets (itâs included-happy?..) of course I will go, but I could understand why some people might not want to shell out the $$$$$ to see this team.

Haha. Donât get your panties in a wad. My point was that it does not matter if you paid for the tickets or not, showing up whether we are good or not good is the mark of a true fan. Many will say they are âprotestingâ by not coming. Thatâs just a cop out. I donât know of anybody who is âhappyâ with a 7-13 record, but the real fans keep showing up to support the team and their university. Itâs easy to show up when the âweatherâ is good.

BINGO!
If youâve crawled into a hole since the season started, either come back out now or just stay the hell in it.
ChevEEs right about the band coming. I remember those damn goofy hats⌠They were pretty loud last time they came too.
Ill be there if we are 7-13 or 20-0! I damn sure dont like the record but like X said if your âprotestingâ by not showing thats complete Bull****!!!
