That should have intimidated Cincinnati. "These guys have 6 guys and they have the energy to clean up the court?" Very subtle ploy by Ben Moore and the guys!

We all have our pet peeves. Drink spilling on the court during a 2 hour game is one of mine. We have a board where people can express their pet peeves. I don't expect my suggestion is going to be taken, especially considering those are the guys paying the big bucks.
But honestly, if one of your pet peeves is fans yelling loudly at a game, or any one particularly loud fan yelling at a game, even though that particular fan never yells expletives, then stay at home and watch on tv.

No, the cup holders on the red seats are worse than the floor. I won't use them Bc floor is safer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With a short bench we may need those spills. Maybe we can get Marquis Frazier to sit down there and spill when signaled.

I actually thought it was kind of cool and showed the kind of young men we have playing basketball for us. Not just good basketball players, but good people. And I guarantee we have several SMU fans for life with those kids.

Seriously how much of a problem has this been? I don't recall any other time, and I have been to every game. Was great free pub. Our team looked uber nice, and the kid was funny.
If they need to change anything, maybe take those YP signs out from under the front row chairs, since it forces the drinks in front of them instead of under the chairs. And nobody will ever use the yellow pages again ever anyway.
Agreed. School can just install some cup holders.

While I appreciate the contribution to concession sales, those seats really should not allow drinks other than bottled water, and should not allow popcorn. This has been a repeated problem, and frankly just makes the court look trashy.
We know those with high dollar courtside seats come with admittance to the Miller Club with drinks and food pre-game, half-time, and post-game. I think mom, dad, and the kids can fill up before the game, hold out for half time or post game to quench that nagging thirst and hunger.
Anyway, where were our guys with the sweat mop running over there? Everyone just stared at the huge puddle until the players -- THE PLAYERS -- ran over to clean up. Should not be that way.
I have always hated courtside seats in basketball. There is no reason fans need to be as close to the court as the reserve players. You have things like this, the lady who got run over by Lebron a couple weeks ago, increased risk of injury to players, etc.
Courtside seats are great. And make money for program.

If you actually pay attention, I don't yell at the referees all game. I don't yell at the refs just because the call goes against us. I do it maybe 3-5 times a game.
Nothing wrong with that

I never needed one as I consume them too quickly. But its funny because the rail in the front row of 202 is flat and works perfect. And by some chance if its spills it's going to rain on RVG'S Loge

That kid is a hoot. Sat behind him for years. Earlier this season he caught an errant ball and sized up a three point shot. Ref wasn't amused by I was.

Good call on moving if you don't like yelling. Though yelling is part of what makes the Moody experience great.

It was ridiculous....our group of 6 30 somethings voted unanimously to relocate.
Diamond M: "aaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaahhhaaaa. Breath. Aaahhhhaaaaaaaaaahhhaaaaaaaahhh Aaaahhhh "hey ref, call it both ways". Aaaaahhhhhhhaahhhhhhahhhhaahhhh Breath. AhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaAhhhhhhhHHHHHHHhh
Gets old pretty quick....just saying....was nothing close to normal, cool, regular cheering, far from it....
