MBB: Cajuns Drop Season Opener

[zephyr]

Miss the big guy, that’s for sure. Not an excuse, next man up.

We currently have two players over 6'8" with Kitenge out. It's going to be an issue in just about every game from here on out.

No way 1400, I was at the game of there was 1400 then 1300 had to be sitting behind me. Video of late second half and doesn’t look like 1400

how can anyone here lay blame on the big fish when he loses his franchise player pre season . . .

[CajunRed]

Who else is not shocked at last night’s loss? Not motivated to attend.

It's genuinely crazy that Marlin is still the coach here. From people I know that went to the game, say there's no way there were 1400 people there. Won't be surprised if 1400 actual fans may be the high watermark for attendance this year. Wouldn't be surprised if we see 500 people in the dome for games.

What are we at now? 15 long years of complete mediocre, milquetoast, bland, stale basketball program. It's sickening we've kept this going this long. Criminal indeed. Bob Marlin sleeps in a crop top with no bottoms.

MBB had a game?

I honestly had no clue. Didnt realize until I started getting updates on my phone. I need to make sure I turn that off. Like many, I could care less as long as Bobby is still coaching.

If I was AD of small school with a proud basketball tradition, and the admin asked me to find a way to dwindle fan support down to the point where we could just shutter basketball completely, I would do exactly what we're doing right now.

I watched the game on ESPN + and heard that he is only about 8-9 wins away from 500. My guess is Marlin is hanging around for that 500th + win and our AD is giving him that allowance given his tenure at UL.

Meanwhile you're losing 20% of your fanbase every season

There are no basketball fans left except Boot.
There is no longer a basketball tradition here. That was taken from us by Bob staying here so long. It is done. We are a baseball, softball, and football school now.

[JamesTheJeweler]

Theres no interest in the opening game of the season on our own fan message board . . . So just imagine what it is in the general public. I'd bet most people here on a fan page didn't even know there was a game. Not that anybody would go, but still. Sad.
