Agreed. Bringing it back every two years or so is a nice touch but no more than that.
Obligatory post.
Now do most of the other games that season...
No matter where you fall on the need for a new arena debate, there's zero debate over whether the Joel is bigger than it should be for the size of our fan base.
They only released a teaser for the Duke game.
There is a promotion for the Cuse game, as well. Talladega Forbes T-shirt.
Both games are important, of course... But that Duke game is circled given it is K's last trip to the Joel and our best chance for a marquee win.
Years ago during a time out (once per game) about 3 trumpet players would go to 1 of the corners of the court and play the "da da da da da da" and then that corner of fans would cheer "go Deacs" they would then move the the next corner and do the same, eventually moving to all 4 corners of the court, with each corner getting louder. We'll when it got to coach K's corner I could see him yelling "get the F*&$ out of here" or something like that. He was absolutely livid. Good times.
This use to make me so sad. Now tho, it actually gets me pumped again because for the first time in a decade I feel like we will be good again.
We will never be there again because college basketball isn't the same, but the wave of vibes is approaching.
First of all - a free pack of gum to everyone at the dook game (see Childress - Durham)
Second - produce a video that includes the following highlights. RR 360 dunk, Childress blitz in the 95 ACCT game, All Tim Duncan games (except last one), the 2003 (?) 2ot game.
anybody want to wear the tie dye Dino suit for the Duke game?
go to 2:30 on Ph’s video to see Dino in action
We have a game against Syracuse first. Pretty dumb to promote this when we have them coming in. It makes it look like we are overlooking Cuse.

Bullshit. There's been 2-3 seasons since the Joel opened when you could say it was mostly full all season. I think I missed a few games between the opening and 2006. I remember kids playing tag in the upper level during early season games in the Duncan years.Bro, we were fucking selling the Joel out for our exhibition games against WSSU back in the day. I had seats in the upper bowl, that shit was always full or close to it.
So, I have a distinct memory of us playing Lil Wayne's "Fireman" before basketball games. I think when James Johnson was here, but I can't find those videos anywhere. Does anyone else remember that?
