    Hot Take incoming:

    Hey man! I went to the basketball game last night. Glad we won, but for a rivalry game the crowd was terrible and quiet. No band, no Texas! Fight!, and the loudest it got was for the halftime musical chairs show. The OU sucks, because the do, chant at the end of the game was nice, but it was only led by the jumbotron throwing it up there with about a minute to go in the game. I was in section 34, row 30, but moved down to row 9 after the mass exodus when it became clear Texas was going to win the game. Fuck those people for leaving early and for the people that stayed, why the hell are you just standing without making any noise?!? Row 8 had 10 dudes, all standing, all with their hands in their pockets talking to each other quietly and giving about half a fuck about the game. I've seen it louder in a church parish hall waiting for the coffee to be refilled.

    New arena or not, the crowd should be split up with a first come first served section around the entire court, save for the small amount of students that attend. Conversely, they should leave the douche bag "just doing this because it's an event and want to be seen" crowd in some sort of club lounge for dipshits. Every coach and every player should not have to beg the crowd during a rivalry game to fucking cheer on defense or make noise when the rival is shooting free throws, yet here we are. Shit, half the crowd barely threw up the Horns when we shot free throws.

    I tried 4 times to get the crowd around me to make noise and get up. It worked each time but lasted for 2 possessions. I cannot wait for the FEC to go bye-bye, but the new arena is going to need some serious hand holding to get the party started. Motherfuckers looked like they were watching a Yanni concert. Oh, Mr. Minister O' Culture? Could you please instill some fucking culture up in this mother?! Because right now, it feels like a funeral could have been going on and nobody would have noticed. Also, don't give me the "they just need to win and they will come" bullshit, because this team has a badass coach and they are winning.

    So, I’m going to have to disagree a bit.  Way more people in attendance than I expected, especially considering classes hadn’t resumed and it was a shitty, cold, Tuesday night, 7:30 tip.  Crowd energy was far from electric but not nearly as dismal as you made it out to be.

    You expect a bunch of middle aged dudes with their kids to act like they’re at a Metallica concert? 

    They played great and I thought the crowd let them know it. 

    I was near the court, maybe a different perspective /humble brag. 

    Just my .02.

    Is there anyone who is positive who regularly posts on game threads? The doom and gloom on here is unbelievable. I'm not saying Texas comes away with the win, but holy fucking Alamo, folks. It is possible for Texas to win with 11:48 left down by 6.

    So many chicken littles.

    My son and I were sitting in the deer stand in Kimble County Sunday evening.  Wind was whipping.  He said, "Holy crap, Dad.  Is that Cedar tree on fire?   Looks like smoke coming off of it!"  I just let out an uncomfortable chuckle as my eyes watered and I continued sneezing in the stand.  It was out of control this weekend.

    We hunted in Junction for many years. Know exactly what you are talking about.

    Thanks fluff! I think that RV park is private , not positive. Wonder if I could put in somewhere around Horseshoe or is that going to be way to far from the dam?

    Horseshoe Bay?  You talking about putting in on Inks or LBJ? 

  5. I know we haven’t been playing great competition but last three games we’ve held N Colorado, San Jose St and CA Baptist to under 17 points at half (15, 17 and 16, respectively). 
     

    That’s impressive no matter the competition. And that’s how this team is going to win tougher games. Grind down our opposition with relentless defensive effort. And I fucking love it.
