I dont know who all was at the Belmont Lipscomb last year @ the Curb when we threw away a huge lead. Well I went back and looked at it after watching the Syracuse game today (and hearing that they had the longest home wining streak in the nation---now 35). If we had held that lead and if everything else remained the same...the Bruins would have that streak with 38 wins in a row. Point and fact - the Curb is a tough place to play.

You're right, it does make me mad. That game STILL makes me mad. Lipscomb got us in that game. As I remember, we actually beat ourselves in that game. We got them back at their place, won the A-Sun, and shuffled off to the NCAA's. Lipscomb just shuffled off. I think that game served as a "wake up call" for our boys. I'm sure it provided many teachable moments for Coach Byrd in the practices thereafter. I'm glad we took care of purple business this year.

I haven't checked attendance numbers, but do you think our TSU game drew more than the Lipscomb game did? It seemed pretty close to me. EKU was a pretty good draw too. I bet the TN Tech game (homecoming) will also be a near sell out. Really, as long as the guys keep winning, I'm sure a lot of Nashvillians will be jumping on the Belmont band wagon. Worst part about it is our season ticket prices will go up as BU sells out more games.

TSU drew about a thousand more than Lipscum.
