Great crowd

tonight. I'd say we have the biggest bandwagon fan base in the whole league. It's no wonder we've fallen to where we are.

The students were chanting "We want _________" tonight. Anyone know who it was?

We need to use some of that SEC money and order big black curtains to hide upper level except when we play Kentucky or Ole Miss

How can you down-vote

that post? Our crowd was a joke. Please try to dispute that, morons.

Houston. Jerrell I guess?

/it's the student who was banned for telling the refs they were terrible, see the other long thread.

Was definitely "Houston". Not sure who that is.

Wonder if the kid is enjoying his new found fame?

It sucks but unlike football the team is going to have to win before folks will come back.

I guess it's hard to blame the students. The last time we had a really good team most of these students were in kindergarten. They have no idea how good the Hump used to be. Or could be.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Well if that's the case, then

our fan base is a bunch of bandwagon fans.

 

[57stratdawg]

I think you're right. Nice work.

 

[Bulldogg31]

our fan base is a bunch of bandwagon fans.

I agree but it's the truth

 

[KurtRambis4]

Well then you'd have

to also agree that we can never be a serious contender with a bandwagon fanbase.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

The students that actually were there were pretty good

to also agree that we can never be a serious contender with a bandwagon fanbase.

Every school in sec outside of ky is, including Florida (who won two titles). And we are the same bandwagon basketball fan base that we were in the Richard Williams and stans years when we were a serious contender. So I disagree with your premise that only teams with non bandwagon fanbases can be a serious contender.

Florida also

is about 3 rungs ahead of us in overall athletics, so it's not really apples to oranges, comparing them to us. They can have 1 person show up to events and they're still going to attract the top athletes.

We, on the other hand, don't have that ability. I think we have to differentiate ourselves, stick out, to attract top athletes. Look at baseball. We market the **** out of the LFL and our fanbase. It is certainly used to attract players.

Your point was bandwagon fans in basketball and being a serious contender. It is apples to apples in basketball. We have signed higher rated talent and higher ranked classes than Florida the last two years.

And if you want to look at baseball, we have much better fan support than fl and they recruit much higher rated talent.
