A Sea Of Red

Tomorrow night (Tuesday). Most of the Ole Men's Club will be in attendance.

I don't know about "most", but 6 of us will be there with a combined age of about 384 years.

A lot of knowledge in those 384 years. (basketball, football, baseball and softball). A lot of youngsters have been "coached up" over the years.

Knowledge and EXPERIENCE--for those of us who actually played the game.

You played Womens Basketball?

Men's high school basketball. Averaged 15 points a game and made 3 all tournament teams. But if you want to hear about high school athletic careers, talk to TF: he still has laminated newspaper clippings!

You were a Man playing HS Basketball L. How many years were you in HS?

Game is on ESPN+ for those who aren't part of the old man's club and can't go to the game.

Halftime LU 35 NSU 22

Looks awesome...but it's missing something...

LU 60 NSU 30 after 3 qtrs

Why do we have no women's basketball fans on this board ?

Because quite frankly Coach Green peaked 15 years ago and we get the slightly above average mediocre performance from the team every year.

Plus, too many turnovers.

Who says we don’t?

Same reason there are only 1-2 softball fans. No one really cares. Now get to the WS and things will change. Winning solves all problems. See MBB.

I have never cared much for Bandwagon fans, but every school has them.

The board is representative of women's basketball's popularity in general. It is a niche sport.

I watch a lot of the games but like most, I'm ready for Coach Green to retire.

I should have offered Purple my extra ticket last night, but he was home watching his college alma mater play basketball without him.

This is the deepest team I've seen since I started watching them play in 2007. They will gel as the season goes on given they have so many new faces. Watch out for Kestner and Iverson and a healthy Rettstatt. Berkman is really improved as well. In terms of TOs they had 3 at halftime but committed 14 in the 2nd half with the 2nd and 3rd team in there. Still after 3 games only committing 13 a game even with those 14 2nd half TOs. Certainly miss Green and Todd but have the players to fill those holes. Their only competition will be FGCU who had retooled after losing 5 starters ( 4 playing pro overseas) but have the POY (transfer who started as a FR from Ohio State) and a JC AA who will keep them on top.

See there is a fan out there

True story. I was just happy A- we scored double digits and B- we didn’t get beat by 100

On the WBB side I know at least 2 members here have relationships with the current staff that would make any postings awkward IRL. At least one of us has our own possible season to deal with. So watching LUWBB isn’t a priority in their lives but they still do follow them and know more that even fraudcoach thinks he does about what’s going on

LU has gone from being the hunted to the hunter. They now have to adjust their approach to defeat the king of the hill as opposed to everyone adjusting to them

I should also add that when I was a student, I did frequently attend women’s games. Some years, more than the men, because they were so awful
