Blackham Coliseum

BARTLESVILLE - With three players scoring in double figures, St. Gregory's launched its 2004-05 basketball season with a 70-53 victory over Oklahoma Wesleyan Tuesday night.

Isn't that an article from last year? Or they have their years bassackwards...

Is the McNeese game going to be a retro game?

[DaddyCajun]

Has anyone been inside of Blackhem lately because it is a ~~~~~ hole. Nothing works and it would cost the university too much money to repair. It is a great idea , but it is not realistic.

Blackham does have A/C now, the restrooms have NEW toilets, sinks, and urinals(all done last year). To get it ready to have the Lady Cajuns in it year in and year out some serious finishing work on the inside would need to be done especially where you walk around the concession areas(screw on some metal siding to all the metal supports would really dress things up)!!
Also add a large section for dressing rooms, meetings, concessions etc to the sides of the building, built out of metal(southern stuctures)!

Yes I will be there, and I would go so far as to say the only way this doesn't become Louisiana's favorite venue is if Dr. Authement bans beer.

for me it is all about the sound.

I was told that there won't be any beer at Blackham.


Yes, sound makes the difference. I wonder how LOUD we can make an exhibition game!

from the start of this thread up until my current post, I've learned two things: one, hindsight is 20/20, and two, be careful what you ask for you just might get it. :o

God Bless.

p.s.- looking very much forward to the games in Blackham, even if it's not permanently

It will not be a true retro night without the Red Dots. Those "crazies" were something else! I particular liked when they would hold up the scoring cards for a particular play or dunk. Something else, those folks were...memories!!

I will be there & I am looking forward to it. I think the games should be played at the Blackham from now on.

Think Michael Southall will get some boos? I think it will be mixed, but I hope not.

Think Michael Southall will get some boos? I think it will be mixed, but I hope not.

Only by those who have not kept up with the situation.

Then again those who do not keep up with the latest, tend not to be so vocal.

Baseball did a retro game with McNeese (last year or the year before) and then they sold the uniforms.

I wonder if the basketball players would be willing to play in real shorts like George Almones wore in 1985, instead of those . . .

I'm good friends with the guy who does UL baseball and basketball uniforms. If someone would be willing to donate the uniforms he would get a great price for us. Some body get back with me on this. It would be great! We need to get this going and I can do it! I just need some financial help. We could have a retro night and advertise it,maybe for the Mcneese game? As a matter of fact he does Mcneeses uniforms also. We can get Mcneese to participate in the retro game!
