^^^ This.....cause we can compete with them on the court and we'll soon be competing with them on the recruiting trail thanks to fred...atleast thats how i see it.
Fred has been trying to get this since Calvin Godfrey was kicked off the team. We would have had one this year in Amardi, but we basically cut him in favor of Kane. We have offered the Godfrey type the last couple years and seem to miss out on them a lot. We finally got one in McKay, who is basically Fred's dream big.
This was something I believe started due to a bit on Conan's old late show. You could purchase them but they would have no monetary value. Bought one for gags but lost it.
Texas has had a good bb program under Barnes, but one thing it appears Texas will never have is a good bb fan base. They have a terrible bb culture. Despite being good, and having a huge student population as well as a large general population in the Austin area, they can't sell their arena. Pathetic and terrible attendance in relation to wins and population.
This attendance crap is really annoying. Fans from other schools (Texas, Baylor, OSU) come here and want to talk basketball and all some of you can bring up is attendance. Who gives an eff?
I'll give you the 1999-2000 season, that was special. But the 2000-2001, which did result in a Big 12 title, was a train wreck to close the year with a first game loss in the Big 12 tournament and an upset by Hampton. The program was on such solid ground that the next year we went 10-18 (3-12). And then followed it up with a 17-14 (5-11) season.
I would definitely say the program has a better foundation now than it has in a long, long time. We haven't seen some of the individual event successes but its just a matter of time.
confused: <-- obviously
Are people really mad about where an 18 year old kid decided HE felt was best for his college career? I mean sure, I don't know why you'd want to go to UNLV over UNC, Kentucky, KU or Iowa State but its pretty clear he wants to be the big man on campus and he wouldn't have that at UNC, Kentucky, or KU. Maybe he fell in love with Las Vegas and feels comfortable there? Also, when you made your college choice did all of you stick around close to home? I know a lot of college kids want to get away and experience something new. Anyways, good for you RV. I hope you have a nice year at UNLV!
Just out of curiosity, why does it matter? Is anything gained or lost by having an RV avatar prior to his commitment? It was fun to do, now it's over, what's the big deal? You must care a lot about what anonymous Internet posters think about you. I on the other hand do not.
