Atmosphere will get better. Just not on New Year’s Day at 11am against an unranked team from 1000 miles away. 

 
Hopefully the new arena will have some configuration changes such as the students being behind the benches and the gray hairs (which I'm one) on the other side of the court. Think Duke or NC.

Years ago I took my kids to a game and they were standing up and cheering during the game. We were asked by some older folks behind us to please sit down during the game and only stand during TOs and breaks. Out of respect we did but that's always has been a problem at the FEC. That and basketball just isn't that big in this state.
I've always noted the amount of gray hairs that occupy the first 8-10 rows sideline that are like mannequins. Those seats have to go to fans that are rowdy and engaged.  (Note: gray hair here.)

New Year’s Day at 11AM wouldn’t have worked for me when I was at UT, if I was on campus. But the kids aren’t on campus right now. 

 
My last basketball post got deleted. Why?  I have no idea but will post something else. 

Thought this was interesting (and true) from Chris Anderson on WV Huggins...



Chris Anderson goes on to say:  Not sure if Huggins is extra feisty or if I'm reading too much into this. Calls Taz Sherman "the best player in this league." Says Texas has "the best players from a lot of different leagues."

Yep, there's some butt hurt in there for sure.

 
I can't find the game on my cable, so I'm using my ESPN app for play-by-play. We're behind at the half 29-35 to Kansas State.

It's on the ESPN + or whatever they call their app. Don't  have it, but went to the ESPN website and tapped on the game. We are now ahead. Just under 12 minutes have held KSU to just 4 points so far in the 2nd half.  I hate having games on apps.

 
We won by 13. Curious as to why no Jones in the box score info. and Mitchell was only 1 for 3 with 2 points.  

 
Jones didn't make the trip. I heard it was protocol situation.

Mitchel played, it was a Disu night.
Carr, Allen, and Disu looked good. Granted I only watched the second half. Game never seemed in doubt in the second half even though we started down 6.

Oh really. So, Beard quit playing both Disu and Mitchell at the same time? Was this at your request?  Disu was a 10 point 4 rebound and Mitchell was at 2 points  and 1 rebound tonight.  But it was a Disu night?  Please!!!!!

It was a match up night and something  happened to Mitchell. Say that. Still nothing from hornsports or Texas sports on AJ so that's still in question from you.  Since that is only you questioning that. 

Regardless we won by 13 on the road at a place we haven't faired well. The game on Saturday is on CBS.  Need Carr, Allen, and Disu with Mitchell and others to show and be better against OSU.

Did NTX steal your beer and/or woman dude?

They mention Jones not making the trip and why on the ESPN ticker tape last night several time on the bottom of the screen while I was watching the ou vs Baylor game since Texas wasn't televised. From the Texas Sports link below you'll notice it mentions why Jones didn't make the trip.

Dude pull your panties out. Allen, and to a lesser extent Disu, stole the show down low tonight.

Why is this team so timid when it comes to jump shooting?
