  1. I just laugh when those attendants ask to see my ticket. I know they are only doing as they are told, but really, what's the point? It's not like it's the AAC. In an arena that sits close to 10K, and you only have 2500 show up (official attendance...I don't think there were that many), does it really matter where people grab a seat?
  2. Verygreen is my kind of people. I wanted to say "Bullsh*t" on a call, too (I think I know which call you yelled it on), but I was getting daggers from the people around me. I know of the 3 women (not including my wife) who were giving me ugly looks, one was a Baylor fan...so I ignored her. But the other 2 were clearly UNT fans. Granted, I'm 30 and they are like 70, but still...as long as I keep it clean I should be able to yell. Verygreen...next game I might come down and join your group. (I'm in 120, row N, so I wasn't far from you last night).
  3. I would like to add the following: Apparently in my section, you will get dirty looks thrown your way if you stand and cheer, yell at the refs, or yell at the other team. NOW...let me be perfectly clear....EVERYTHING I said was 100% clean. There was no profanity AT ALL. But I could not sit/stand idly by and let the referee tell the UNT bench to sit down and be quiet during the Baylor free throws, yet did NOTHING when the Baylor team was standing the entire game and cheering and chanting, especially during UNT free throws. I don't care either way....I just want it to be consistent. Anyway...I yelled just a few times at the refs...once for the above mentioned double standard, once when they called a foul on UNT when the Baylor player travelled, then stopped, then fell forward; and maybe one other time. Each time I was given very dirty looks from the older lady 2 rows in front of me, and the older couple to the side and one row in front of me. They also looked at me ugly when I yelled in delight at a couple of slam dunks and some three shots. They hated it when I stood and cheered. I'm sorry...but I guess cheering and yelling aren't socially acceptable practices at basketball games these days. Let me reiterate...I was 100% clean.
  4. I will make 10 games, but my tickets will make 11! (Regular season, not exhibition).
  5. Unfortunately, faculty like him are NOT a dying breed...not by a longshot. I work with a lot of faculty, and more of them agree with this line of thinking then disagree with it. However, buck up everyone. That is pretty common at most universities. Most of your faculty typically could care less about athletics, and hate the idea that their little corner of academia is not viewed as important as athletic is.
  6. It was the timing of the bad calls that seemed to kill us in the 2nd half. They always came just as we were getting some momentum. I have never seen one ref make so many bad calls in my life...all of them momentum killing calls. That "charging" foul he called was the worst call I've seen in a long time. Then he followed it up with a blocking call against UNT where I swear our player wasn't even close to touching the Denver shooter. Yes, I know, you can't blame a loss solely on the officiating, and yes, there were bad calls both ways. BUT, the TIMING of the bad calls against UNT kept killing the momentum, keeping the guys from getting good runs going.
