The students will be back on campus. But will many come to the game? Play Basketball vs. Study

Students studying? Hah! You know just as well as anybody Cider that undergrads and grads in the liberal arts don’t study. They either are going to a social event or are too intelligent for their own good and don’t need to study, but might be considered too eclectic for academia :wink: .

They won't be studying. Classes don't begin until Monday. Most students are already on campus so there should be a good amount of them in attendance.

Not a good way to start, especially when the students returned this weekend. With this kind of playing, students would have reason to not come to games. Hopefully things will turn around though.

Our offense so far has consisted of 4 guys running around outside the 3 point line, seeing how far we can get from the basket and then taking the worst shot we can.
The few times we have gone inside, our post player has been triple teamed and can't score. UNCA doesn't have to worry about the post passing back outside, because we can't shoot from there anyway.
Gotta wonder if switching to a different defense, has ever crossed RM's mind? Don't see how our offense can get any worse.

Off to watch the NFL playoffs.
Enjoy the 2nd half. :roll:

The only thing worse than watching the game is the halftime "entertainment"............................. unwatchable. Over and out.

This is the best comedy routine I've seen in a while, playing "Who let the Dogs out" while getting blasted by the Bulldogs. Has the campus staff been replaced by the White House staff?

Vines Center was playing "Who Let the Dogs Out?" by Baha Men during a media break, and it so happens Liberty was losing by who knows how much to the Asheville Bulldogs. Is the stadium staff that dumb that they had to have played that song? I don't know if it's predetermined, but they could have chosen from at least 25 other songs.

So what does the White House have to do with it?

The Trump White House staff is also pretty incompetent? Pretty sure nobody is actually running things at this point.

And that has to do with Men’s Basketball how?

Go Flames! Even the "Never Trumpers" seem to be finding conspiracies in a song selection. MAGA :D

If I were AD, first thing I would do is change our game day operations pertaining to the "noise" from PA system. It's more of a circus atmosphere than an athletic event. This goes for all sports.
