Did anyone notice there were a lot of empty seats at Temple today???

Crowds are down at many places. Saw on TV the Alabama/South Carolina game and the crowd was very small. Looked like Memphis game.

That is no excuse. Neither of those schools is a basketball school and it shows. Our lack of attendance has more to do with a bad hire than bad fanbase to pull from.

South Carolina has an extensive history of supporting basketball...Remember Frank McGuire?

Don't bet on it.

all your post does is invite negative comments

Maybe this will help this message board return to a positive one. OR reveal just how many tiger haters invade this forum.

Really all it did was reveal you as stirring the pot and trying to prove that you are the better fan, IMO.

I am just a fan who has followed the Tigers since 1959. I believe that criticism can be constructive and destructive. If you doubt that the posts that come from some who use this board are intended to harm our sports programs; then IMO, you must live on another planet.

This summarized it well. I like the players. They play hard, bust it on defense, and have tougher out some hard wins.

But we are scraping by terrible teams. This is the luckiest tiger team I can remember with the number of breaks we’ve gotten down the stretches of games to come back and win games. This is not what you pay somebody 3 million/year for

The players are working their butts off and playing well together and winning a few, maybe even putting together a winning season.

However, that's not the point. We aren't paying Tubby to put together a scrappy little team that finishes 16-15. We didn't build a state-of-the-art practice facility to not ever get invited to any post season tournament.

We love these players and yesterday's game was great, but this coach is not doing his job and no matter how hard Jamario Rivers plays, that doesn't change anything.

If you have to say remember, that probably isn't a good sign.
