Looking Like Q Will Be Back This Year
- Thread starter ArcherSPS
- Start date
My first thought was don't waste a year of eligibility if he's not healthy... But he's not staying four years. Let's do this.
Exactly, if he is not back until February or later its probably too little too late to salvage anything out of this season anyway.
I don't think it's all peaches and cream. Sound like hes just going to try to play through the pain. He's not 100%.
People forget that he played 36 minutes and scored double digits the day after injuring his wrist.
Actually, think it was LJ Singleton, a 6-5, So, walk-on, Guard, from Georgia that played the other night. He was 2 of 4, 1 of 2 #PT, in 13 mins of PT. Glad he got some floor due to Peter's over-sleeping.
Xavian Stapleton is a 6-6, So, transfer, Guard, from LA Tech, that is from Flora. He is rehabbing his second injury and is slated to start playing second semester.
Wonder if this will get more than 150 in attendance?
I still cannot fathom why in the h3ll the hump isn't packed, or at least 3/4 filled? Highest rated basketball class in history, no other sporting events in the area...and yet, nobody shows. When I was a student (1990 grad), we had more people show up to watch practices.

Bad weather in the area on Monday and we got pounded by Lehigh in the previous game. Not to mention that anyone who has started school at State since 2012 has never seen us have a winning record in basketball.
So yeah, I can fathom why.
Bad weather? Really?!
Oh, and Lehigh is the school that knocked off Duke in the tourney a few years ago. Not a bad basketball school.
Excuses, excuses...#lame

I agree with you. It was quite embarrassing. I can't imagine what the players were thinking when they run out to 100 fans. Terrible.
This would be a great time for Cohen to give students their old seats back. The students drove the atmosphere.
The average student has never even heard of Lehigh. And that win against Duke was almost five years ago.
If you win, people will come. Just look at the women's program. 150 was a good crowd for them three or four years ago. Now they're outdrawing the men.
It is a pretty simple formula. When you have a bad team playing another bad team on a stormy night during the week that final exams begin, well you're just going to have to accept that it's hard for most people to find a whole lot of motivation to fight the weather and go see that.
And if you watched the game, you saw that we are indeed bad and it was a terrible game. So many of the people who did go probably feel like they wasted their time a little bit.
I've attended a couple of games this year and it has gotten brutal in the Hump. We truly have sabotaged a marquee sports program at MSU. Both the student and fan attendance is probably at its lowest turn out since the Hump opened. There are certainly factors that might explain some of the problem:
1) The obvious - Basketball has not been good since Stansbury left.
2) Our home court strengths of Hank Flick and the student section were casualties of tinkering by Stricklin and company
3) The home game scheduling for Fall 2016 was short-sighted. We scheduled zero home games around our home football weekends plus a home game during Thanksgiving break when most everyone is out of town. We set ourselves up for failure
4) A fan base of our size is over-committed to other sports. We sellout football, women's basketball attendance is way up, and baseball has been back on an uptick. Most fans cannot dedicate time to multiple sports, and people are certainly going to plan around the winning programs.
I'll probably think of additional reasons, but those are what immediately come to mind. Our home scheduling for this fall is really bad. Whether the opponent is a named program or not, you have to find a way to have a game or two on a home football weekend. 2017 is setting up to be special for both football and basketball. Now is the time to be getting to the Hump and getting familiar with the players on our team.

Have you
not been to a basketball game in the past 30 years?
We NEVER had good attendance until January. NEVER.
It's just a number of factors...bad opponents, holidays, exams, etc.

Got to state as a freshman in 2012 and that was rick ray's first year. Now I'm still here and we still suck.
I feel like these are the conversations we have every home game:
"Should we go to the game or stay at the house?"
"Yeah, let's just stay here drink free beer we suck anyway."
"Cool sec network is prime these days" *passes cigar*
"Dude have u heard mmj's new album?"

As a student, I even missed nite classes to watch Greg Lockhart, Reggie Boykin,
And Chris Hall.....the crowds were bigger then than they are now.....

The attendance for against NW St was 6,070. The actual attendance is not listed but it was nowhere near that. I bet there was not 1,000 people there.
2004-05 Season - The only one I felt like looking up.
(actual attendance)
Centenary 11/15 - 4821
La Monroe 11/17 - 4410
North Alabama 11/19 - 5104
Fairleigh Dickinson 11/22 - 6004
Alabama St 12/06 - 3344
Charlotte 12/10 - 3894
South Alabama 12/13 - 5151
San Diego 12/30 - 3745
BTW the South Alabama game was 3 days after we lost to Charlotte.

If that''s the case, then I'm embarrassed of our student body and fear for the future of the state.
It's the result of two bad hires. One was a coach from Clempson, the other a Macdonald's All American from Jackson.
Sell your soul to the devil and the devil will come knocking.
