People can talk about their glory days of hoops games and awesome attendance, but CA isn't the issue. The difference is winning basketball games. Anyone thinking a t-shirt makes a difference on the cheering is just making **** up to make themselves feel better. Wins get people in seats. We aren't very good, people aren't going to go out of their way to attend games. Its as simple as that.
I stopped going to games after CA people told me "what's up" which equaled them saying they were better than I was while I was a student. That happened the year I graduated, so it wasn't a lasting effect, but it ****** me off pretty good to get me to stop going altogether.
Yea, I understand that CA is "all important," but if I get to a first row seat before you, **** off and sit somewhere else. Don't show up 5 minutes to tip off and berate me (and then get security because of your authority) and expect me to move to the balcony. Also, don't ******* hold the first three rows of the Iowa and Kansas tickets for your friends instead of putting them into the "lottery" for seating.
