The first third of the season hypothetical

Postby SmooBoy » Tue Nov 04, 2014 10:51 am

Assuming we play as expected against Lamar, if we eeked out a win at Gonzaga and took care of business at Indiana, how likely is it we start 10-0? It's a real possibility and excites me beyond belief.

Gonzaga will be tough. Besides Mich IU and Gonzaga are any of the other teams going to be a test?

I hope our fans don't sell their Ark tix because they will buy them. Their fans travel, and they will get loud on the road.

They do not have to travel. They have enough in Dallas to pack Moody.

Barnhill South was uber-annoying in the 70's and 80's. I CAN see fans selling tickets if the prices get out of control high, which for our small palace is a possibility.

There are quite a few on Stubhub now ranging from $84-$880. That game is only three weeks away.

I just don't think Arkansas will be able to get enough tickets to be effective. I may be overestimating our fans loyalty (but this is basketball).

Any road game vs any sort of name is a challenge - so Gonzaga, Indiana and Mich worry me. I think we can get at least one of those. VERY tough to beat Gonzaga in their house.

I think we will take Arkansas - not because we are that much better but we owe them big and time for some LB payback.

In conference - we have lots of worries. I think 10-0 is too much to ask. 9-1 would be just fine.

More Arky fans=Much louder SMU Moody...see LSU last year. LSU didn't bring much, but enough to spur the pony fans to get really loud

Arky game is on a vacation travel week. That hurts us - more Arkansas fans means more fans NOT traveling for the holiday. The SMU crowd is more likely to travel on vacation too
