Plenty to discuss in the other threads about the team’s shortcomings. I don’t have much to add to the basketball discussion, but since it’s fun to complain, here are my random thoughts.

Food – they list 5 Jersey Mike’s subs on the menu, yet only have cheese steaks for sale. They also list a healthy option wrap, but I’ve never seen it for sale. Has been this way all year.

Halftime entertainment – can we get something? Throw the drumline/dance team out there for 5 minutes. One of the reasons my young kids enjoy coming to games is there is usually something cool at halftime (red panda, old man climbing on chairs). Yes, I understand there is a pandemic but can do something instead of staring at an empty floor for 15 minutes.

Hum song and Wonderwall remix – they ruined these by having the players talk/yell over the part where the crowd starts jumping/getting crazy. And they turned the volume down (this isn’t football, keep it loud).

Green lot – has been better this year, maybe since they put more people in the deck. Exit has been pretty good too. Only mess is that prior to game you have people coming out of the yellow lot from hospital road against the inflow of traffic which screws up suttons lane. Not sure of how to fix this since students are leaving around game time.

Actually, one complaint about the lot. Pedestrian traffic crossing from yellow to green walks across one of several foot bridges, which happen to have super high sides so it’s really hard to see people coming across. While driving into green lot, the pedestrians just seem to pop out of nowhere without slowing down since they have a crosswalk. I understand they have the right of way, and I always driver super slow there, but it’s an accident waiting to happen.

Agree on halftime - I used to enjoy the dance team shows and the various other entertainment and have no idea why last night was the first time we saw something half decent. Always hated that Wonderwall remix, probably because I love the original song.

I never eat at the RAC, so no issues there, and I park for free, so no issues there. The only thing I wish could be fixed, which never will happen, is having another inch or so of legroom in 102 - it's very tight if one is over about 5'8" and at 6'2" it can be uncomfortable, but the view is worth it, so I guess we'll have to grin and bear it.

I don't like it when my wife tells me what to do ...even if it is exactly what I was going to do. In fact, that makes it worse, 'cause then I'm thinking of NOT doing what I was going to do. If I do it, I feel like I'm just encouraging her. If I don't, then I cutting off my own nose to smite my face. I've been married for 25+ years and it has forced me to confront my perception of free will. (This has been a Non-Basketball complaint)

PS: Yes, I will move the router to see if it improves the WIFI upstairs.

Here’s one: change the number font on the jerseys back to the block “R” font (like the football team did again when Schiano returned) … the stupid Chris Ash font that Nike created I hate on all our Olympic uniforms. We had a great font and branding, just another stupid thing Ash ruined when he was here. Plus we’re adidas now!!
