Uhhh....so they had a chance to create an new awesome court and this is what they did?

That is exactly what I thought! Ha; might get use to it.

The crowd was wonderful. The production on ESPN+ was so bad, I don't even know where to start. But I'll begin with the Audio Engineer. Execute him with extreme prejudice. The P.A. guy was......so pathetic and so dumb........I uhhh ahhhh forget it.

I was expecting a little more than just the direct video board feed and PA mic for tonight. Sounds like the crowd was into it for the parts I could hear though.

Just got in and the atmosphere was great the entire time. The court is a little busy but will have to wait to see a few games into the season. It is very different to put it lightly.

Yeah...me2

Looks great on teevee--non glarey and tasteful with just the perfect hint of pop.

This court has an evenness in color and design, especially on tv, that the other one lacked.

I am with you, man.. I already have ESPN+ because I watch Serie A and UFC fights.. I couldn't go to the forum so I was so excited to watch it online, but the production was terrible, just pathetic... Hard to believe ESPN was involved with this event.

All those involved with sound and video have been sacked.

I was there and so I’m not talking about the ESPN+ crew; I’m talking about the multiple Memphis announcers in the building, they were annoying. Everyone doesn’t have to screaming and on their feet nonstop

I opted for the one year deal. 49.95, so I saved 10 bucks.

I opted for the $5 deal so I can cancel in Nov and upgrade to the Disney/ESPN/Hulu package when available for $12.
I currently have Hulu for $7 so I will break even and have Disney for free. Think "grandkids".

That’s my plan.

I opted for the one year deal, too.. and wait, you can save an additional 10 dollars if you paid with a eligible AMEX card!!!.. So it only cost me 40 dollars for one year

P.S. Check your Amex offers online.. there is a $10 discount if you spend more than $40 on ESPN+..

I opted for the one year $54 w/tax deal too....my son loves the weekend UFC fights on SAturdays that normally cost $60 or so, so this will already pay for itself in short order

Is the PA guy going to work all the home games this year? Oh my stars! He is the absolute worst. Fred Cook, RIP.

I watched on ESPN + (have a sub because I am out of town) and it appears that it was just the arena video board feed. I don't think ESPN produced it, just streamed the arena feed (which was not a good thing to do for paying customers. Either send a production crew or don't show it at all).

The Court does look nice on TV, not too busy, but very stylish. I thought the court last year looked busy on TV, especially where the I-40 Bridge touched the 3 pt line. No need for all of that on the court. It will definitely get everyone's attention on national broadcasts.

I thought the team look great, I see definitely a deep run (2nd weekend at least) if not a full tourney win. What they lack in experience they will make up for in sheer depth. The Bench 5 could start at 90% of the schools in the Country, who ever they will be. Will Stokes play this year? Dandridge?

The good part about the floor is.....it puts our LOGO out front and "in your face". To sell a brand, you need to have a recognized logo. I have had some folks see my logo on my cap and actually think the logo represents the Univ of Missouri Tigers. Even had one guy in Texas ask me if I was an alum of the Univ of Mississippi!! I am hoping that one positive aspect of a dominat logo on the floor will be to help establish the leaping Tiger logo in more viewers minds with The Univ of Memphis. By the way...the Mansfield Tigers (in the DFW area) have modified our logo and use it for their school. https://www.cleanpng.com/png-mansfield-h...eview.html
