While enjoying the climb up the AP ranks, Facebook was kind enough to remind me that on this date in 2013, the final game was played at old Moody Coliseum...a sparsely attended SMU vs. Rice bout...

Gawd our Court looks so much better now-we went through decades of floor design mistakes before we knocked it out of the park with the present design

Looks like all of the bleachers are pushed back, except behind the benches.

Wasn't the home bench at the other end back then? (Know it was during Shumate and Dement)

I think Coach Brown changed it when he took over. You can see him on the sidelines where the current home bench is.

Maybe Doherty switched at some point. I specifically remember him at our current bench end, but I also feel like I remember him at the other end.

The home/visitor benches switched when Crum opened for easier access to the home locker room in the new building.

I think when they redid the floor a few seasons before they redid Moody, they just laid a new one on top of the old one. This meant the bleachers could only roll out a few rows.

No way our crowds used to be that weak. 8) Next you're going to tell me we are ranked ahead of Duke.

Anyone complaining about our crowds needs to see this pic. 1st year of LB and those were the crowds.

The sad thing is even those crowds in LB's first year were significantly bigger than the years prior. 1500 was the norm unless we were playing Memphis.
