Well I'm bring back the NSU theme! I waited a while to post because I was so furious! The seat assignments were atrocious, We were not warned (or I missed it completely!) that the SODAS WERE NOT FREE in the quasi Big Blue Room. I wasted a favor from Darius getting some Room passes for some guests who accompanied us. We just turned right around and left. Picky, I know but what I remember in the early PR was they were going to recreate the Big Blue experience at Scope.

I think we should play Hampton and NSU on a rotating basis. I like the idea of having their bands and cheerleaders in the TED making that neutral game feel.

Great post. Everything about that game was a disaster. I would be embarrassed if I had anything to do with planning that.

Well there's a simple solution...let's not play in the Scope anymore. From a planning perspective, if you want to put on a better product in the Scope you need to play there more than once a year (which I would not prefer). Also, the Scope needs to make some infrastructure upgrades if it wants to be better with a basketball production (I have no idea how they put on a quality MEAC tourney..maybe they don't). We have a better facility with the Ted, and if/when we play Hampton/NSU/etc. on a regular basis, we should just be on our home floor.
