Brad, is there a hall of fame thread page?  I think we might need one. Obviously this tops. Is Asiantii Woulard 2nd?

Uh... their definition of "in the market" is REALLY loose.

New York (#1) -- Syracuse ? HA!
Los Angeles (#2) -- Cal? Stanford?  HA!
Chicago (#3) -- Notre Dame?  HA!   (Notre Dame has a bigger following in Boston than Chicago)
Philadelphia (#4)
Dallas-Fort Worth (#5)
Houston (#6) -- SMU HA!?
Atlanta (#7)
Boston (Manchester) (#8)
Washington, D.C. (Hagerstown) (#9) -- UVa ?
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (#10)

In reality, the ACC only has teams in four or the top 10 markets: DFW, Atlanta, Boston, and  SF/Oak/SJ.

Its questionable even in those 4 markets they pull a decent share of it.

I missed the announcement. Byrum pledged to enter the portal after this season?

He pretty much did by saying he would stay this year.

I agree with this but the velvet rope is determined solely on fan support, not winning, not OCS, AAU.

As a thought exercise imagine a team that can packs every stadium and jacks the ratings of every game win or lose.  They will get all the attention whether deserved or not.  Think Notre Dame on steroids. 

That team can write it's own ticket.  It will sell more t-shirts, bring in more revenue, more eyeballs on screens etc. 

This is why I think teams should be creating a better game day experience for their students & fans - like building an OCS. They should be doing everything possible to increase their fan base.  Create a carnival like atmosphere where people come to enjoy themselves regardless of the outcome.  

Pictured below is that NOT happening.  The people sitting in the stands are dedicated and deserve a lot of credit, but they are there to see a team win and quite often leave disappointed.  I know because I was one of them. We probably all are. 

On campus USF can bring in a band or host a frisbee contest or face painting for little kids.

Would you invite a program that was only able to generate this kind of buzz?

 

Competition dictates attendance. Better opponents brings better fan attendance.  We have proven we can do that

Yeah he has to make it to campus first

CAAR knows talent. Nuff said. 

I think CAAR has convinced me he knows talent and how to put the pieces together.   Many of our coached got kids but then didnt know what to do with them. This separates CAAR from his predecessors. 

NO thank you. Good luck young man

There’s something amiss with minutes per game. When you look at the game by game data, most games show 1 minute. Others 35+ minutes. The average isn’t reliable, but he’s still a great scorer and an excellent get for us.

Without even adding and averaging all the numbers 22.5 is right regardless of minutes.   He scored 48 one game.  Most games were in mid 20's

Sad about 35000. Was hoping for at least 45000 with 5000 standing room. This is Wake Forest level 

Local Kid. Played high school in Pinellas county.  

The brightside is CAAR built Kennesaw St from the ground up. So the man knows talent and he knows how to coach.,

Win the whole thing and send a message for next year. Wish Miguel was staying for one more.

Has Knox scored tonight?

Nope

I’m think we got robbed. 

Why did we not shoot last foul?

This crew should be fired

One of the worst officials I have ever seen. So inconsistent

I'm happy we had an exciting season

This was a great step as a program

First appearance in the AAC semi

First ranking

First reg season crown

 

The next step is we need to win the AAC tourney

And we get to keep our coach. The reality is had we reached the tournament he may have been gone.

This team has our number

NIT here we come

Some teams will grow tired  in the Big 10 and SEC. I look for this to blow up again in 10 years. How many years is Texas and Okalahoma going to take being a bottom feeder in the SEC? Ditto for the Western Schools in the BIg 10? Do the Big conferences start kicking out the little guys?  Vanderbilt,  Rutgers Maryland?  Even Ole Miss Miss St would be considered little fish now.
