Caught some of the show⌠Iâm glad the host brought up the big men (Braswell especially) and if Coach is trying to get them more aggressive around the hoop to draw more fouls. Braswell is too good of a free throw shooter not to take advantage. I would love to see our two bigs dunk more.
Derrio seems real confident that we are going to have a good season. Donât remember verbatim but Derrio basically said that Major has been serious and intense from the get go, which is greatâŚ
Major sounded fantastic tonight. His vision of what the program should be - his philosophy and work ethic, sense of family, etcâŚ
He hasnât done it yet on the court, but the guy sure sounds the part.
Hearing him put into perspective how this quick turnaround will get us ready for next weekend in Charleston makes so much sense⌠The 4pm start time is still gonna mean a mostly empty gym, but then again, thatâs what a least part of charleston is gonna be (day games especially).
One thing that struck me when him and Matt were talking - not sure what they said, but the flipside of us not being on TV that much (which sucks, Iâm not trying to make lemonade from lemons), is that these teams arent going to have easy access to game film of how we play. Not saying they cant get it, but itâll make it a tad harder to scout us. As the Queens coach said, weâre not playing defense the same way this year.
Im disappointed about last night for one reason. I came out there expecting to hear a great show. HOWEVER, sitting next to the biggest table(15top) full of the student counsel(I know this by overhearing some of their rhetoric during their conversations) I figured that once Major took the air that they would quiet down⌠BUT THEY DIDNT! I thought it was ridiculous that the people representing the students found no interest in listenin nor did they have the courtesy to quiet so their peers can listen in. I was there an hour before anticipating and didnt get to listen to 1 minute! This was ridiculous and I hope that one of the student counsel members is on here! If you want to meet then please have the courtesy of doing it in private not during a public event. Lew I saw yall over there was wonderin if you noticed that⌠The table the table by the Silver Strike (4 tables connected)âŚ

100% agree. I like how Major turns a potential negative, back to back games this weekend, into a positive âIt will prepare us for next weekend.â Weâll see how the team performs but Major is saying the right things at this point. GO NINERS!
I agree. Great show. I listened to the last weekâs online and last nightâs on the radio. Last nightâs show was very good and is worth a listen. Especially the second 30 minutes. Derrio and then the questions and Majorâs comments about the bigs and the work theyâve put in.
Derrio was very funny talking about the other guys on the team. Said Sirin and Lewis are the best 3-pt shooters, he canât touch them. He threw in Phil when asked who else. He said that he knows Sirin shots are going in and when he made that pass to Sirin for the three in the exhibition and threw up his arms, he was trying to beat the refereeâs signalâŚ(laughing).
Mentioned different attitude several times. Was very positive about new coaching regime, team, season. He did a very nice job!
[quote=âeason49, post:36, topic:24282â]I wish they had more space, or at least turned the volume up so that the whole restaurant could hear it.
We got there at about 7:30, and had to sit on the other side. We could see the show fine, but the volume was too low to hear anything.[/quote]
That table was noisy last week as well.
The real problem is that the speakers mounted on the post in the center of the dining area are pointed toward the RIGHT side and the bar. If you were sitting in the booths along the left side, you could barely make out what either Matt or Coach was saying because of their deep voices and the background noise. It was not a good experience for my family.
The management should fix this⌠In the future, if no tables are open on the RIGHT side, Iâm not wasting my familyâs time. Iâll take my $50 down to Giaccomos.
