GRIZ v. NoCo Gamethread

[mtgrizrule]

I think a bigforkgriz post was taken a little too far.

I see his point and agree, if we do not clean up some minor things, the W's we are seeing in the BSC, will be much more difficult to come by against better out of conference teams.

Shooting comes and goes, but the stupid, careless turnovers we have now and then, game to game, is my biggest concern. I am sure Wayne, and every player would agree with that too.

Reading about the football and basketball comparisons got me thinking about the attendance issue and something I don't recall seeing on here. Could it be that people go to the football because we know it matters because we have a real chance to be National Champs? And with basketball it always seems we fight so hard, only to be disappointed either in the Big Sky Tourney or the first game of the Big Dance. I know I will never give up, but I get extremely bummed when it happens and I am a HUGE fan. What about those casual fans that just don't care anymore? Maybe people have just gotten burned out with it(and of course add that to the other issues brought up before...student section, quarters to semesters and the reconfiguration of the arena).

too those people, we need to simply bring up. George Mason, Butler and Gonzaga. They all were once at our level. Infact worse. But there is some mid major schools that dont have a chance in hell to win the N.C that put up one of best crowds in basketball. Its all about creating an atmosphere. football games are fun beacuse people get crazy and wild and laugh. you can unleash and seem 100% normal. At basketball games that all ended after the zoo. It has shown promise and at times it is electric in there. However we need to do it on a normal basis. Look at the sideline crowd. Wayne flat turned aruond and looked at them all and pumped themn to stand up and cheer.....about 50% did. WTF!!! if more people stand and get loud....it will become the regular...just like it is with griz football games. if a group of 20-30 people were together and gettign crazy and loud. I 100% garentee most the area would follow suit!

wish you were right buddy. i was up that entire UNCO game in the 211...i think i sat down 2 times...being loud and noboyd cared...even when we went on that run..i was giving er the noise and smasing the seat back in front of me in celebration and i look around and people are clappin while sitting down...so most the time i agree with you 100 percent...and i wish i coudl here but its not contagious, maybe some sections but not where i sit....i would like to move but i feel a serious obligation to section 211...that section needs somebody to hold it down
