Mississippi State

Only Mooney could eff this up this bad. Glad I wasted no money or time watching or listening to this mess. Loving the Michigan effort against Ohio State thus far. Please keep Mooney away.
 
Accomplishments in this game:

Losing by double digits is a 5 minute overtime. Very hard to do.

0ut rebounded 44 -20. Possibly NCAA record

Grace with a foul for every 30 seconds played. Very efficient.

Mooney choke took 40+ minutes to kill us instead of the usual 35.

Go Blue! It's been fun so far.

Yes, but don't we get some kind of fourth place trophy for the trophy case? Bet it looks really cool.
 
What we got was a nice fun trip to the Bahamas! What college student would not enjoy such a trip for the fun and the sun?

Glad that I didn't invest money to watch another sad loss. Seems like the most experienced class in NCAA history should have moved on. So far, they can't beat anybody who is any good.

Anybody know what the 17-year problem is?

After this embarrassment there is now only one team in the A10 with more losses than us. This is Richmond spider basketball
 
Am a long time season ticket holder. Haven't been yet and won't be going in quite a while, if at all.

that's my problem, several of you have mentioned over the years you would not show support for the Mooney dictatorship/hostage situation by buying tickets or going to games but when September rolls around no matter how hard I try I just cannot resist them because I do love college basketball so much 😖

I used to REALLY love Spiders basketball but now it's just discouraging and demoralizing
 
I don’t think a couple hundred season ticket holders not renewing would make anyone stand up and notice. If the decision was primarily about money they wouldve parted ways long ago because we aren’t earning ncaa units and arguably to save money on CM salary.

Sad that’s the case. UPitt alumni made a big stink a few years ago and went out and hired an up and coming female AD. Starting to pan out in football.

Its super easy to give up buying season tickets. Did it a few years ago, you can still go occasionally, they discount tickets frequently, drink a few ipas and don’t expect anything.

Chalk this up to "pep talk" and hopefully "encouragement'

Tough to ditch our years long season ticket habit ..and we try to remember the good things -
1) The venue is better than the Arena and easier to get to..
2) We have good friends we usually only see in person at the Robins Center. Most of the fans of the Spiders and the visiting teams - with one exception - are pleasant and nice to talk with.
3) The basketball is similiar to what we saw as students - being close to .500 was an accomplishment.
4) Our expectations are low so disappointment is mimimal. On the occasions we do win we can be surprised and ecstatic.
5) Dick Tarrant was once our coach - a man we admire for many reasons: a Marine, a no nonsense coach who produced, and we enjoyed talking with him when we had the chance.
6) We can dream - all things are possible - and someday it is theoretically possible we will again have a coach like Tarrant. (alright no holding your breath or pollyanna comments on that one, but admit seems pollyannish at this point!)
