I think the students had a blast tonight. I expect a large student section for Valpo since not many students went home this weekend and our studens know this team has gone a long way from losing to Central State I hope you are corect. Valpo is a another big game for us and we will need all of the fan support we can get.

That was an exciting game tonight. I'm proud of the way we played. I hope we build off of this going forward and not have a let down game against Valpo.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think we need at least 20-25 quality minutes outta Pondo tonite. If not, I see their big fella (Smith, I think?) having his way with Sledge and/or Pacher having to guard him. I think J. Mays will get his, but we'll struggle to score points elsewhere (maybe John B. can come thru with some big 3's). Can't see Darling or Vest having much of an impact, which we sorely need. Also can't see the two-time defending National Runners-Up laying an egg on national TV, whereas, we've made a habit of doing so. We'll make 'em look bad, but I'm afraid we'll look worse....I'll say something like 54-50 Buttler. Prove me wrong Raiders. Go Raiders!!!! Buck Futtler!!! I think our Raiders will prove you wrong. Both teams are young and hungry. I look forward to an ugly slugfeast tonight.

I haven't read the whole thread so I may be repeating. The problem with the dance is the same problem with a white out. It won't work. I don't get where you are coming from in that statement. In the past, the white out and black out nights were both very successful for increasing our attendance for those games. For pete's sake what would it cost to put 10 students on the floor at half time and do musical chairs? Maybe you should go back and read the first page of this thread. The number one complaints of fans about last year WAS stupid half time and time out games. People come to games to watch basketball, not college students making asses out of themselves playing musical chairs or trying to catch rubber chickens with baskets that were launched with a bungie cord. We have a band. They should play at every time out and throughout half time. Our cheerleaders and dance teams should be performing at every time out too.

School pride and traditions have to start somewhere. I hope the students give it a shot and try it. I also hope they add good feedback afterwards on how to improve it and make it OUR own rather than just bitch and moan about it like they do about everything else. Christ, our student's piss poor attitude drives me nuts. You could promise them free WSU gear to wear, pick them up at the front of their dorms, drive them to the Nutter Center and carry them down to their seats in the front row and bring them free food and drinks and some of these fools would still find something to complain about.

I'm glad this one is at UIC. I couldn't imagine how bad our attendance would be for a 2:00 game on New Year's eve. Agreed

This Chicago trip is our best chance to pick up some road wins in the HL this year.
