What went so right last night ?

greenjoe · January 27, 2006

I had a meeting last night. Why someone schedules a banquet ON CAMPUS and NEXT DOOR to the Super Pit on the SAME NIGHT as a ball game is beyond me.

Anyway, I got ther after halftime. We had 8 threes, the place was fuller than at anytime this year, dancers, band, cheerleaders, and we had a 20 point lead.

What was the difference ? I noticed the seats at each end of the gym were used and not the "50 yard line" seats. I guess this was students and non season ticket holders, but what made all these poeple come out last night ?

Whatever the formula, we need to bottle it and take it out again Saturday night.

Oh, and the "NORTH"....."TEXAS" chants were the best I've heard at the Super Pit.

GO MEAN GREEN

I think Athletics did a great job promoting, also it was RHA Night which helped to finally bring out a ton of campus residents, hopefully this can carry over into Saturday.

I was wondering when they were going to have RHA night. I had class and didn't get there till the second half and I was really surprised at how full the student section was. Hopefully a lot of those students will keep making it out to games now that they have been exposed. I criticize the lack of promotion, so I'll praise the AD for last night. Hopefully this is a continuing trend.

Some of the greeks made it out in force as well...and stayed the entire game. That was nice to see.

Is there any chance that we won't have as many people at the game on Saturday? It won't be RHA night and others may think they've done their duty by coming to one game. I hope they do come out in full force, but i'm a little apprehensive. Hopefully, i'll be wrong.

Perhaps next year we should have an RHA season promotion. Getting the college kids to the game makes all the difference.

I'll say it because I'm one of their biggest critics...The talons were out in force last night and showed some real excitement. Guess I'll have to hold onto my "Wanted: Spirit Group" sign for one more game.

Im still trying to figure out why the Troy women were talking trash to us. All during the first half (while Troy was down) they were acting badass and talking some smack to us from their seats. Then at the half when they went down to the tunnel they started talking more to us. Never seen someone get tottally dominated by 30 points and THEN start talking trash. Guess our girls will have to beat them by 60 the next time.
