    No, that's not true. I looked at this a while back when so many here wanted to state that basketball in the south was dead due to attendance and I noted that our average attendance was literally about the same as it is today. We just had some good opponents come in and kind of bump the attendance from time to time or the rivalry with UNO or WKU that often pumped up the numbers a bit.

    Winning and excitement, games were events. The team was connected with the fans big time…

    Not digging that deep. The facts documented easily speak for themselves AFA the every game fantasy.

    Shot down the sold out the dome crap that gets brought up every year or so while I was at it.

    Basketball attendance has been generally trending downward since the dome opened.

    Because our commitment to winning at the highest level has decreased as well. Winning enough is now good enough.

    Weak schedules and bragging about beating the bottom 3rd of D1.

    Blackham is never the answer. Would kill recruiting and after the reality of crappy seats, bathrooms, and concessions most would be begging to get back into the Cajun Dome

    How long we’ve been in the SBC? That’s the commitment, bottom of conference is an anchor.

    Blackham isn’t or ever will be answer. Footprint to small, east side floods.

    Besides…Delta State, Arkansas Angels, Mobile and Loyola-NO. Pick the year. Good night.

    If we were serious about being the best program we can be and not just content with the SBC. We wouldn’t make excuses. Our Coach wouldn’t have waited 12 years to fund raise. Our schedules would feature higher profile road games and higher profile home games.

    You know what that would all require? A higher commitment from the UL Administration in Martin Hall. We don’t have that. If they treated the advancement of athletics like they do the advancement of academics we could have it all.

    But instead of a symbiotic relationship athletics is viewed as a necessary evil.

    Until we get rid of all things affiliated with the Fossil's legacy from the top down, we are going nowhere athletically as we watch our peers leave us behind.

    If they put a new court in an empty arena and nobody's there to see it...did they really put a new court?

    Guess we'll find out.
