It was quite obvious that many, many others decided not to show up also. Attendance is trending downward with each game. Not a good sign.

I'd say there were roughly 8,000-8,500 there last night, maybe.

So per 200 is the magic number to make things look as had as possible and still not obvious

Interesting

Will this make you feel better? +/- 20 from the baseline.

RE: Calkins
Attendance is down a few thousand.

Are folks really getting complicated trying to indicate that?

Impressive...but...everyone knows thousands less are coming and actually everyone knows why...because they FEEL as though it is not just a down year but things are trending downwards and that this season...essentially NIT level, will become basically the norm.

Some simply disagree..and are usually met very harshly for that. Absent the above, would be stunned if next season's team is not top twenty caliber. And if that is the case then this season is simply an NIT caliber season sandwiched between NCAA caliber teams. Not a big deal...unless fans simply believe getting back to top twenty caliber will be a ceiling and because the last two teams only made the round of 32 no future teams can be stronger than that.

Simply disagree with that...hear all those who never stop screaming that is wrong...only wish the bullying and mocking that accompanies that counter opinion would stop. That, and the whining that comes up after a mocker gets called out by...get this...a gentle return.

Too much to ask...we will see.l

Depends on who the coach is.

RE: Calkins
And I see the point was proven by the very next post.

Snark wins...at least in that circle.

Counter opinion is that next season will be top twenty caliber with our coach. Could make an oh so cute seeking high five type push back...but will allow the self congratulatory back pats...adorable.

We encourage counter opinions. The mocking attitude and the rest of that...not so much. Perhaps we would be more popular if we took reasonably posted thoughts and made fun of those...but instead will respect the opinions, and continue...although with less enthusiasm HERE, to tweak the mocking crap.

In your scenario we will be top 25 caliber with sub top 25 results. If things change at the helm before next season that could change for the better.

May start in the top 20. Question is do we end there. History isn't favorable in that regard under current regime.

Certainly possible. And you're right, history isn't in our favor under this staff.

If you don't like debate, you could just wait till everyone leaves a thread to post on it.

Love debate.

Dislike mocking and trolling.

There is a difference..unless you want to debate that.
