Normally that's true. But there were a lot of seats up higher empty. The student section up top was a sad sight to see.

thats funny i always see more lower. the up high ones go to the poeple dying for tickets and not just regular rich season ticket holdrs

Yeah. Because no one who sits lower is "dying" to see the games. :roll:

I had met him previously. I was talking to him before and during the game. He enjoyed the signs I kept telling him to go over and sign it or at least wave but he didn't want to make a scene. That's just not his personality.But he smiled everytime the sign was picked. Who ever did the sign that was a great touch. It let's him know he is important to us!!! :good: :yes:

As someone mentioned in the other thread, I do-but I don't - understand the significance of all the bigger and talented kids going to BCS conferences all the time - just to be "another 7 footer on the bench."

At any other time, on any other team, would Cliff and AC have gotten so much attention? What about X? I have a feeling they would have played, and probably played well, but it wouldn't have been the same. At the non-BCS school they had a chance to shine and were allowed to dominate.

It just seems that an extremely talented player could really develop a game and a skill set over the course of 3 or 4 years at a non-BCS school, as opposed to getting SOME playing time and contributing on what will be a crowded and talented roster, but always looking over their shoulder at who the program might recruit that is even more highly touted next season.

Just seems odd that talented kids have so many choices to go and do great things in school and on the basketball court, yet so many of them choose to follow the herd and be (yet) another statistic on the bench.

Your right sir!

I've found that if I wait until something actually happens, before predicting it, my percentage of correct predictinons really increases.
