Re: Good Ole days of Moody Magic
SMU basketball is nowhere as popular as it was the first season in new Moody. Everything was new and exciting. Even last year, when we had a better team, I didn't have co-workers asking me about the next game, looking for insights on the team, or asking for spare tickets like I did that first year. (Until tournament time, when I got to enjoy the enthusiasm for all of 4 days.)
I think it'll take a Sweet 16 appearance or a top 10 ranking to get back to those levels. That's not to say Moody isn't still a huge advantage for our team - our record speaks for itself - but I think expectations have been unrealistic since that first year...
There are of course changes to the MOB that are partially responsible, but I think those issues would be mostly covered up if the "buzz" came back.
And in regards to Sunday's game, the whole thing felt like a 40 minute kick in the nuts. Most people in my section stuck around and did a passable job of cheering until the bitter end, but it was pretty forced.

Naw, he remembers his "sit-out" year and Moody Mausoleum. And then there was the loyal 150 that went to Garland.ALEX LIFESON wrote:Crowd continues to shrink...Nic Moore had to be stunned.

The good ole days of a well coached, disclipined team versus watching a team that looks like its playing a pick up game on the neighborhood court.

What a load of whining crap. This staff has taken a massive probation hit, graduates three NBA players, and loses 40% if its starters during the season this year (and the two best starters at that). Buy some freaking perspective.

Which is more expensive hope or perspective?

When it comes to perspective, I rent to own - I have a lease with an option to buy.
