  1. I think Chauncey is too talented to only play 10mins a game. Wish we had more room to play him. This team is jam packed with talent. Gonna be an interesting fight for minutes next year.

    Great game for Zeke and Tree

    Not so great for Serb Harney and McClannahan.

    It sure is nice having multiple weapons.

    Lets Go Zips! On to the next one.

  2. Considering I graduated last year this topic really isn't for me. For the most part I think people are playing devils advocate because we know something is really wrong.

    I served my time, sitting on the floor with the rowdies my final two years of school. It was a great time (some of my best UA memories) thanks to the friends who I brought down with me. Never really did I feel much initiative was taken to welcome newcomers.

    My point is this: I truly thought that with the continued success of the team, coupled with growing school tradition the basketball support would improve ten fold. I'm just curious what's holding this back...something doesn't add up.

    I considered many times becoming more involved with the group, but was never really approached so my interest faded.

  3. So being in a section with student your age, in an atmosphere that invites friendships will lead people to feel lost and isolated. But sitting by yourself in GA won't?

    When 25 members of a group keep to themselves rather than encouraging others to get involved I would say it does. Keep in mind most people probably have no idea what's going on with half the chants. People figure better to sit on my hands in GA than feel stupid.

    Still could go with the "it's their problem" approach, but obviously swarms of students aren't flocking in.

  4. My question is why are wristbands required? Open the section and let people in.

    A good point. I think the fear is that the section would become more of GA seating and less of a student section. Most of this would be solved if the section was bigger.

  5. what makes you think they dont?

    I don't think most people feel welcomed. Comes off as very clique like. Most people I talk to would just assume not sit down there.

    It's a lot of fun being part of the action and energy on the floor but could leave many feeling rather lost and isolated...

  6. Really don't understand why people aren't getting this...

    There is obviously a problem if most (and I think it's significant) students would rather sit in the nose bleeds than right on the floor where there's the best view. Sure we can just assume they don't want a wristband and end the discussion there. My question is why don't most student want better seats at the game?

    I think making the floor seats mandatory to the first 200 student would be messy...but I like the idea. I think people would want wristbands to the GA seating sadly.

    Now about moving the band... :horse::wall:

    Only Kidding

  7. Well, not to be rude, but that's asinine, don't you think? There's a half dozen kids sitting in that lobby waiting to scan IDs, etc. Why wouldn't they offer wrist bands to everyone with a valid ID? I've yet to see those sections filled to capacity other than the Can't game. Ohio and VCU were at least close. I think there were about 15 kids in the end opposite the band for EMU.

    I agree. At about this time every year we have this discussion. Looking back, I felt as though the Rowdies had a frat mentality where they (for some reason) were perfectly content to goof around among themselves rather than try to draw others into the fun. The demand just isn't there, so why not be more proactive. Sure, some could point out that the number of members is on the rise, but quality doesn't seem to be correlated.

    A unified student section could really take things to another level. The emotion is contagious. Catch the fever.

    I love the rowdies and the zips..time to kick it up a notch.
