Mississippi Game Attendance/Roll Call 01/29/14

who guards him? Jrich? I'd put Moore on him and just give him half a zanax before the game.

I think McRae will check him quite a bit. McRae's length could cause an issue, but he has more of a tendency than Rich to get lost on D.

I love how the CCM supporters try to spin this into a "small crowd" because of the weather.
The CCM supporters are dwindling by the game!

McRae hasn't been playing well on d lately. The worst I have seen him play it in awhile.

 

[Lefteye]

I assume sarcasm right?

I ask because with CCM you just never know.

Absolute sarcasm. However, after the Q siting in Florida nothing is out of the realm of possibility I guess.

Laughable from a Martin hater.

Q looked like he had just landed from a convertible spacecraft.

Correctamundo.

 

[sport3500]

I think there might be 11,000 at tonight's game.

 

[sport3500]

I think Richardson will guard Henderson because I think CCM doesn't want McRae in foul trouble.

Who said this?

Love how people make **** up.

With the population size and the amount of traffic in that city, they should've had brine and salt trucks working non-stop. It's an embarrassment IMO. Just goes to show how much more public transportation that city needs.

Just think if the Super Bowl was in town this week. Oh boy.

What brine and salt trucks? The city spent several million dollars a few years ago; now they're all the way up to two or three dozen trucks. Plus many of the people stuck in traffic yesterday weren't within 10 miles of the actual city of Atlanta anyway. It's easy to sit there and saying that the whole area should have been saturated with trucks nonstop, but just having the ability to do so would require probably two dozen counties and municipalities to coordinate and spend probably $100 million of taxpayer money on equipment to sit idle 999 days out of every 1000. That's not an easy sell when it snows once every four or five years.

 

[Manvol]

What channel?

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I would love nothing more than to see Henderson storm off the court in a tantrum after getting worked all night in a rout.

I bet it's a better sell now dontcha think? Nothing like an inconvenience to make people rethink things. And ATL gets more snow/ice than you're saying. It's not a winter wonderland, but it's not that uncommon.

 

[mackievol]

ATL has plenty of public transportation, ever heard of MARTA?

I've lived in Atlanta for 19 years. It's snowed more than a dusting probably about 10 times in that entire stretch. Yesterday is the first time it's snowed in three years. All I'm saying is that it's not a no-brainer to take money out of somewhere else, probably schools, and spend it on something that sits in a shed for years at a stretch.

 

[GoVols15]

CCM is the reason the team don`t show up.

Sorry but no more basketball games for me as long as Martin is the coach! This is the ONLY WAY we are going to improve ... Sad to say!

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

It just shows what hard work in practice and alone time in the gym can do for a player.

yeah, lets see how that translates to game time


i'd imagine 90% of all walk ons in D1 practice hard. that's kind of their role in the program. doesnt mean they are good enough to play meaningful minutes.

 

[VolGee4]

You still have to drive to MARTA stations if you live in the suburbs. The only way you use MARTA without driving is if your work and home are within walking distance, and that doesn't include many people. It's not like NYC.

No you don't. There are a lot of stations and ample bus routes to take you to them. If you drive a car to MARTA, you might as well go ahead and drive to your destination.

The city limits of Atlanta are pretty spread out at this point; if you live in a suburb outside the perimeter that isn't part of a MARTA route, then you live 15-40 miles from downtown Atlanta to begin with.

MARTA is like the 8th largest, most comprehensive transit system in the nation... it's extensive.

MARTA is a joke compared to the L in Chicago or NYC's public transportation. I've taken MARTA plenty of times and the L plenty of times. It's nowhere near comparable. ATL is too sprawled out. That is their main problem.

I don't know about the politics of where the money goes and doesn't go, but a couple of inches shouldn't paralyze a city, but it did. Once someone higher up gets inconvenienced in a major way or something traumatic happens to someone that can pull strings, I bet it will change then.

Just an ineffective way for CCM to motivate his players. IMO

I agree with you the biggest asset a walk-on has is the effort they give in practice. But it should be to improve your actual rotation, not create minutes for a practice player.
