This is a professional arena, and they need to do a better job.

    Another item might be to have court mops that actually are designed for the job available rather than a grad assistant using a small mop with a towel. The refs had to mop the court the first few times because there were none available on the court. I know they get kids volunteering for this which I think is a nice gesture but not always a good idea. Unfortunately, last night I guess none showed up.
    This cost us Amt which very well could have been the difference in us winning the game
    Also this almost cost us elridge to a serious injury

    Yep, I was very concerned about the court. I saw the game management personnel pull 2 kids from the stands to do towel duty. The poor kids were clueless on what they were supposed to do. Can't blame them.

    We had 2 players injured from the poor floor conditions. That is unacceptable for our university and the Cajundome.

    Get rid of the ice rink. Never should have been put in the Cajun Dome and needs to be eliminated.

    Icegators need to go back to Blackham, or fade back into irrelevancy. I went to a game and was embarrassed for them, just put that old dog down.

    They came out of irrelevancy?

    aaaaaand we not gonna mention the South Al player that slipped on the wide open dunk.......
    dam...the grimace on his face before the fell looked like he wanted the rip the rim off with that dunk. Then he hit the ground...HARD. Our cheerleaders on the baseline were standing over him laughing. I felt bad for him.........
    Note: I believe IMMEDIATELY before that play our floppy top white boy had fallen there. It may have been human sweat not floor sweat.

    Get rid of Hockey, it is even dying in the North, NHL on it's deathbed. Seems to be a Canadian and Russian thing anyway.

I believe we have blinders on just like with football until Hudspeth got here. Marlin is not the guy to turn things around and it doesn't matter what is written as people are voting with butts in seats as in none. Sooner or later Farmer must realize that the basketball program is not paying for itself anymore. This is not a charity we need a successful team and all we have is Obama like excuses that make no sense. Oh by the way, its not because we lost last night it because we are 6 and 12 and lost to Texas Southern and others teams we should not have lost too. We need a change and the end of this season would not be to soon!


    Change will not happen at the end of the year. Coach Marlin will have four years left on his contract at the end of this season and we are not about to buy him out. The buyout is not equal to the entire salary but it is too much to buy out for at least two years. Despite this being Year 3, the administration is treating it as Year 1 due to the changes made. I understand losing patience due to the frustration of all the recent close losses but he will get a chance to see if his current plan ultimately pays off. We can do nothing about it. If you support the program go to the games, if not-stay home. It is your money and your time. It is not our place to judge. If and when things turnaround, victory will be sweeter for the guys who stayed with them.

    Express is right in that the ice rink was a big culprit last night. I spoke to a former player today and in his opinion the game should not have gone on in those conditions.

    I will say that this didn't happen in all the previous years the ice gators were playing in the dome. This was the first time I've seen it, and I've only missed a couple of games since we've been in the dome (or since 1974 for that matter).
