From #watchus to #playus

[RoyalShock]

I think it depends on who is pushing it. I don't like it if it's coming from the athletic department. It just doesn't feel right. But as a grassroots fan-driven thing, I think it's great!

This is the first I've seen considering any of this and being an out-of towner am somewhat confused as to the attended audience for both the 'Watch Us' and the 'Play Us'.

If this is an attempt to get more BB fans across the country to tune in and watch us play, then great.

If it is a DARE to the opposing schools - IT SHUCKS! Does anyone actually think a school is going to play us because we are daring them to do so. If this is the intent, which I hope it is not, it is so childish it reaks.

Our OC schedule will soon drastically improve as most 'reasonable' opponents will begin recognizing that losing to us on the road or at home will no longer be a blow to their reputation and/or be a significant detriment to their standing. And a win will help their record tremendously.

Basketball excellence (which we have obviously achieved) will do it, not gimmicks.

I just see it (#playus) as a way to shut up the ignorant, mouthy, casual basketball fans who keep saying we're no good because we haven't played anyone. Which is why I like it as a fan-driven effort, but not an official marketing scheme.

I like it. Sounds like a "put up or shut up" challenge. I don't sense desperation.

And believe me, I know all about desperation. I have a Phd in Desperation. They used to call me "Dr. Desperate," now they don't even call me.

Is that you Denny? LOL I had a room mate in flight school that sounds like you. Too funny

nope, sorry. Another old timer that used to be on here from the beginning. Self-imposed ban I decided to lift at least temporarily.
