This is just dumb pissing up a rope. The players got to wear their black uniforms and, yes, quite a few folks wore black.  Who gives a rat's ass about how many did or did not wear black?  These things take a much more engaged fan base than we have at the moment to be successful.  We are not there yet as a fan base.  Look at the student turnout.  Honestly, it pretty much sucks, and it is the students who lead in this sort of promotion.   A good many students were wearing black, but not nearly enough to make a difference.  But, since those doing the bitching were not in attendance, it does smack of a bit of sour grapes and hypocrisy to jump on those who actually were there and who were wearing black and suggest that because they don't see this as a major "sky is falling" event in spite of the fact that the Mean Green actually won the game that they are doing so only in support of the AD.  Pure crap-ola from folks just looking to find some bogus reason to ignore a nice win and find some new reason to knock the AD.  You guys need to get a life or find something that makes you happy.  This pissing up a rope thing is getting old.

That's weak mark, and you know it. I get to every game I can.  Even during coaching basketball in a town 45 minutes from Denton. Pointing out inadequacies is a necessity. Did you see me make light of anyone in attendance in black? Nope just the "major" donors who were sitting court side. I had a lot that made me happy when JJ was here, it's called winning.

Did you say winning or whining?

1.  Griping about what people wore to the game is ridiculous.

2. Griping about the lack of effort to market the "Black Out" and the overall lack of effort to market the basketball program by the AD is something  worth discussing.  For example, I never saw anything from the AD, so I would assume the message missed a lot of people.  Unfortunately, this is typical of how the basketball program is marketed/not marketed.  This "idea" should have been finalized prior to the season, placed on the schedule, announced around campus for weeks, etc...  A tweet and a Facebook post the day before the game is last minute and poor planning.

3. I did find it funny that this was the idea after Benford's us against the world quotes.  Reeks of the same reasons DD had the football team wear all black in his last game coached here.

4.  Good wins by the MBB team, but with Benford leading the way, I see an early exit from the CUSA tournament.

I know we bash the AD and the department in general but this stuff is important. Show that you care about what you do.

this happens more often than it should.  i want to say that someone in the past mentioned that they don't always have a camerman at all games or something like that, so they won't always have a pic...i would think they just wouldn't put up a pic, if that were the case...

Usually, every game recap (since they go up very soon after a game ends) features a photo from the most recent home game. 

That's largely true everywhere you look, save a few places that use previous season game photos for the same opponent.
