These comments always annoy me. It's akin to saying "No one comes to our games because they have better things to do." Also, it is out of touch. St Bona doesn't have a well resourced program and solid fan base because of the Olean community. The majority of their season ticket holders live over an hour away from Olean and their biggest donors are nowhere near Olean. Their former AD even lived in East Aurora, just 25 miles from Alumni arena and 60 miles from SBU's campus. And this made sense due to so much time spent with the Buffalo arena alumni that support the program. St Bona gets big games in NYC for instance because they sell tickets. They have fans down there that come out. There is a basketball culture. That culture starts with the students. And those students become alums. If you need to be having national success to get people interested in your program you don't have a fan base you just have bandwagoners. Look at Siena, they are horrible. But they have a huge fan base. Imagine if they were actually any good. https://sienasaints.com/news/2022/10/27/mens-basketball-siena-basketball-leads-northeast-mid-majors-in-attendance-for-second-straight-time.aspx UB tries to sell to the community like they are a pro sports franchise but that won't work. It needs to be a grassroots educational community model.

Above 30 degrees is a plus too

Could be in some small part that I can go to a BB game and be close to the court instead of sitting 100 feet or more from the action at a FB game; that I can see the BB players’ faces and recognize them on and off the court; that there are several-fold more home BB games than FB games. Basketball is by its very nature more intimate than football.

That's a funny line. But yeah, I don't listen to any of his press conferences or in-game sideline interviews. It's all coach speak and clichés. There's no honesty, at least publicly. As a Bulls fan, he's really hard to warm up to.

How Long do we have to put up with this used car salesman as head coach. he’s all talk, all for the show. Come game day, the truth comes out. Might be the reason why he’s jumped from job to job. People that actually know what there doing can usually see right through the bullshit of somebody who has no clue.

Consistency in his coaching staff cannot be overlooked. Like it or not, these dudes stick together and have a common vision. Very rare in college sports these days at any level. They are all getting paid way more than they ever thought and are making where they are at the best they can be.

LL Cool coach, you ain’t kidding about the statue. That man is the best coach and no ego

Visited the Convocation Center and Ohio U's campus in Athens a few weeks ago while driving home from vacation with my family. Thumbs down! Horns up!
