  1. well shit if I had known that I wouldn’t have bought tickets.

    I’m still up in the air on timing. If you want to go I can drive up the 29th and come back the 30th. I’ll give you a shout this weekend. I was going to ride up with a friend and then probably rent a car to come back. I’ll talk to him and see what we can work out.

  2. So Uber worked great for the Creighton game. Dropped off an hour before tip-off maybe 100 yards away - northeast corner of Moody on Red River. Picked up at the same place right after the game ended, less than 10 minutes after requesting a ride. Getting out going north was easy. After the u-turn We were back downtown to our place in 10 minutes for 16 bucks.

  3. At some point in time and actually 2017, this was the display I ran into in Costa Rica at one of the local grocery stores.  I’m pretty sure that was just after it had been banned here in the U.S. I wanted to tell them not to sell/drink it. I didn’t say a word.

    The things that have impressed me the most about Creighton - and it impressed me about them in previous games, too, is their transition defense and their ability to play without fouling. This is a great test. Best non conference opponent of the season, IMO. 

    Their transition defense was outstanding. Our seats were behind the baseline on the corner so we had a great view of that all game long. Overall they are just a really well coached team but having no bench will be difficult for them to overcome. I’m a bit perplexed at our substitution pattern especially in the 2nd half but I’ll put that in the season thread and probably not until tomorrow.

    Right before tipoff I was worried about the crowd. The pic is just before they announced the starting lineups. It got better. Great time tonight and I have a few thoughts for later but now it’s time for a celebratory cocktail or 2 downtown.

    I think all the people that sit in those empty seats in your picture are just 100 feet back in the club that's right behind those sections. The seats fill in quick because those people don't have far to go before tip.

    Yeah definitely. They filled really fast and it was great to see. So did all the other seats around us and I suspect the 6 tip-off has a lot to do with it too. There are so many clubs and beverage options at Moody. It was weird seeing all the hard liquor concessions after so many years of going to games at the Drum.

    Weird, I was sitting in the last row of section 112.  It sounded like the crowd was pretty quiet and subdued.  I'm watching the DVR of the game now  and it confirms what you said, the crowd really brought it.  I'm not an sound engineer but I guess last row in a corner section is an acoustic dead spot. 

    It was definitely fairly quiet most of the first half. Or at least it wasn’t what I was expecting. Second half was better. I think part of it was playing “Creighton” and despite what some others have said this year we still have a lot of fans that go to games as a social event and not to make a lot of noise. And the piped in music is almost as overwhelming and annoying as Godzillatron at football games. Still, a huge improvement over the Erwin Center.

    You must have been 3 or 4 rows in front of me.

    Row C. Seats 1-4. You might have seen when my Dad got a little irritated with a Creighton fan that was acting just fine.

  6. Yeah Uber from downtown was my suggestion. That sort of got shot down because they were worried it would be impossible to get one after the game. I think it would be fine? It’s not a non-mobile person. Just 75 and bad hips so walking far isn’t good.

    Thanks for the help assholes.

    I just park across 35 and walk over. There's been a lot of spots along the street over there for both events I've been too. Free and pretty painless. 

    Like directly across has been open?  We are going to have one person with us that is not real mobile.

  8. Parking question. Headed to the game tomorrow and none of us have been to a home game since Shaka’s 2nd season and of course that was at Erwin. Not to mention that whole area has changed so much I barely recognize it. Anyone have a secret or not secret spot for Moody events? I guess the Trinity/San Jac garages and if the line leaving is long just grab some beer at Scholz? Are they even open anymore postgame?

    I don't know which player I want to take off the court at the 4 and 5 but I do know this team is unreal when Rice, Carr, and Hunter are on the court together. You just saw it there on that sequence. 

     

     

    Yeah I like the three guard lineup too I just think in a 9 man rotation like we are using now we will go to a 3 guard lineup only as a change of pace. We only have 4 guards that play. If Allen keeps struggling I could see Bishop starting for a bit.

    I don't think it makes a huge difference as long as the guards are getting minutes. 

    But I think the big point is Rice is better than any of our front court players outside of maybe Mitchell. Would you rather Rice get minutes or Allen, Disu, or Bishop? Those guys obviously still have value but in terms of minutes distribution I think this team is much more deadly giving more minutes to a 3rd guard than a front court player. 

    Wait you want to take Disu off the court? Username checks out.

    6 quarters of football with this ref crew and they have called zero penalties against the Longhorns opponent?

     

    They’ve made up for it by calling 16 on us.
