many swore they wouldn't attend a game with a Brady coached team playing. Well, Brady isn't coaching now. How many of yall went to the PMAC Sat or are going this week?

Of all the legit issues with Brady, this wasn't one of them.

So many other factors contribute to crappy attendance at basketball in Nov and Dec. Christmas parties, hunting season, students on semester break, etc

Not to mention football and now baseball have made it more costly to attend those events thereby fans are not willing to support every sport and I would argue to say baseball is a better draw than basketball.

No doubt Baseball is much more entertaining and interesting to me than basketball, and much better percentage of capacity filled than basketball definitely.

If I get time to go this week I will...got a ton on my plate though. I'm really excited about TJ, seems like he really wants to straighten out the program in all of his interviews.

I'm just saying Trent has an exciting brand of basketball out now. We had 55 points with tons of time left and another fsn commented on how many of our games ended with that many points.

Season ticket holder for 8 straight years, it will take a natural disaster for me to not show up. The Golden Girls were great at the game, they were sitting the level above my seats, oh what a view.

Nationally speaking, you are certainly in the minority. Basketball is the second most popular college sport behind football, and LSU would benefit from a consistently successful basketball program. Not to mention basketball has the ability to generate more revenue than any other sport besides football.

I was working on Saturday so I didn't get to go but I heard they looked pretty solid. I'm excited about the season.

Bama '03 was great, that one sealed our spot in the tourney. Beating Zona in 02 when they were #1 was great. There's been quite a few.

bummer, charging the court was great. I ended up in the front of the crowd on the 04 basketball team poster.
