Blame Brady & Johnson!

Brady was too big of a jackass to be involved with any promotion of the team -either with student, alumni, former players, or the general public; and

Trent teams were boring and for the most part didn't put anything on the court to get excited about.

And before you ask, I've had season tickets since the PMAC opened & I used the damn things myself all through the Brady-Trent years......

The students will be back soon enough with the job Coach Jones is doing and the talent that's headed this way!

Give it a bit more time. Have you noticed how the overall crowds had to slowly but steadily grow over this season? That' older fans that remember the days of Macklin, Carter, Mitchell in'80 or at least Blanton, Jackson, O'Neil, Roberts, etc.

Current students have little or no frame of reference re: Tiger Roundball as a consistent winner, and regular tournament team.

It will happen!

Very good point, we can give them somewhat of a pass I guess.

Actually yes I have. Yesterday it was exciting to see that crowd. Hopefully we pack it out our last 3 home games.

So Brady drove away the students even though 90% of the student body was in high school when he was coach?
