Kind of yes. It's less fun for us because we aren't the ones buying players, but for the players - yes it's past time. I mean no it should be a different system, but that isn't reality. Also, the group that really loves how this is going is the NFL. Who gets a free minor league system to develop/pay players without investment from them.

I get that it hurts, but why is it that all of these players who are finally getting paid result in blaming the players for this, when there are so many other people making millions off the sport? Anyone should be allowed to do this. What you all want is the NFL, where there is a salary cap and everyone shares in the spoils. But it's not set up that way, and the rich don't generally ever volunteer to share.

Science

Pictures or it never happened.

Heckling amateurs is uncool. As soon as these players start getting paid and selling their own merch then ....oh nvm, have at it.

Funny thing, this is actually a worse idea. More like, bring on a salary cap. Oops, but since that will never happen, bring on promotion & relegation!

I can't believe I am being trolled by so many regular posters

@mods please move to the Whine about attendance/uniform colors forum please

As much as the marching band has improved for FB games, the basketball band has gotten worse. I mean we can't be good in football and basketball at the same time, in sports or in music. Don't be greedy 😅

Great post about the team and what we've enjoyed this season. Although now, even though I didn't want to read the game thread, I kind of have to? Thanks a lot for that.

There really should be a whine about uniform colors/attendance issues forum.

Gotta agree. It's at least a little confusing.

Unsure Today Evil Pothole

100% on the road

It's impressive in a game with nothing on the line, playing a horrible team, in a high school gym with zero crowd and energy, we are still able to basically win with ease.

You tried, but he really likes baseball and if he doesn't get it, he is taking his ball and going home. On the plus side though, imagine the complaints here if we build that 6,500 seat building, and it starts selling out and there's a waiting list for season tickets, and the price goes way up.

Sweet 16 of the NCAAs would be better than winning the NIT this year, and next year and the next...

Let me take your points one at a time. presumably it’s the same basketball venue, but back in the JJ era, FAU made the deliberate decision to shrink their venue capacity with the idea a more intimate arena would create a better atmosphere. I don’t hate that idea. Yep, we need a new arena about half the size of the pit. With the 4K we can get in there easily now it would feel completely different. Hold a part for 3K in a 10K warehouse and it looks terrible. Pack it into a 3K night club and it is rocking. - I’m maybe there most critical poster of Thomas Bell, or at least his role in the team…but as I sat at dinner impatiently waiting for Gamecast to update the last two minutes, every time I saw UNT had scored I said to myself, “Bell got those buckets” and I was right Bell is the key to all things good. All those what are we doing early in the season moments when we repeatedly fed him down low and he turned it over, is paying off now. we just won a game with a 3:16 assist to turnover ratio. Someone please explain that to me we lose this game, not to mention LaTech, Western, Marshall…if we had beaten Buffalo earlier this season. That loss is why we’re here. @Andrew Well played, but you ain't wrong.
