Announcers kept saying that the court was in bad condition and once I remember them saying that the court was dirt. Anyone know what they were talking about or why the court was "dirty"?
Yes Scott Drew complained before the game during the shoot around that the court was dusty and they needed to re-wipe it down. He is a tool. Since there was no Vaughn signs this was next on his complaint list.
Before tip off they kept saying "It's a dust storm in here." I'm not sure where all of the dirt came from.

I thought this was the least-dooshy Scott Drew I have ever seen. Didn't even lay face first on the court this time!
I'm not supposed to say anything, but I suppose that since this is an anonymous message board, it wont hurt. Last weekend, when Monster Jam was in Des Moines, the semis and monster trucks were not able to get into Des Moines in time for a proper warm up. Much like basketball players, monster truck drivers need to warm up real good before they get out there and do their thing. Since they weren't able to get the Wells Fargo (The Well) due to the weather, they pulled off in Ames. The Monster Jam manager contacted Jamie Pollard and asked if Hilton Coliseum was currently being used. Jamie of course said, "No, but the basketball court is down." Monster Jam (MJ) manager says, "Don't worry Jamie, we'll clean up real good." Jamie, being a huge Monster Jam fan and realizing the magnitude of this event (especially for Mohawk Warrior), since it was a qualifying event for the National Monster Jam competition, said, "Go for it!"
Long story short, the trucks unloaded the dirt ramps on top of the basketball court, got in a few hours practice while the weather remained a factor outside, packed up and headed to Des Moines the next morning. These guys (the Monster Jam Crew (MJC)) are professionals, but they can't clean up every single speck of dust. When you're revving those engines and flying through the air with that much steel, sometimes getting all that dust out of the air is the least of your problems. Of course once they left, there was still some dust hanging in the air, that dust settled on the floor and caused the Baylor Bears to lose. This would have been a much bigger deal if Scott Drew wasn't such a huge fan (and financial supporter from what I understand) of the Monster Jam circuit.
I hope I don't get in trouble for spilling the beans about the reason for the dusty court tonight.
Is this a joke? If not, dumb decision by Pollard.
