Whomp whomp whomp whomppppp. Gather around Debbie Downers, the show has begun!

Why not at the TED ? We must have been desperate ??? I woul dhave rather us play a decent potential RPI boosting team on the road vs this game on a neutral floor. If at the TED then....OK. In this case we lose revenue !

The coaches want to play each other, which makes sense given our extensive travel itinerary.

And according to the Pilot (see link below), the city has been lobbying for us to play each other at the Scope for years. Doesn't hurt to make the local pols happy.

For other hoops STH, this game is included in the season ticket package. I'm happy to hear that as I'm sure others will be.

Could be worse, we could be playing at Echols.

I think it is a great idea. It's good for the community, gives the team a breather at a good time and the throwback uniforms will be fun. I have fond memories during the Paul Web years sitting in a student section directly behind and next to the visitors' bench where heckling could be truly appreciated. I also remember the pep band with about five members, including a guy who played the hell out of a trombone. I am not sure how the attendance would be at a regular pre-conference game at the Ted two days before Christmas. I think the Scope game will generate more interest.
