I need to go see what Osby can do then. After all that hype, I sure hope he is as good as Capel thought he was.

1. it increases student attendance
2. being on campus also increases non-student attendance
3. looking more full when we play the little sisters of the poor is a very big deal so I wouldnt foo foo it
4. having to devise a more difficult schedule to look more full is a bad thing
5. LOUDER and MOVES more

I'm not against a on-campus arena, but how would it increase non-student attentance? I've always thought an on-campus arena would have parking problems for weeknight games. Parking lots that are empty on the weekends would be full of students going to night classes or the library.

"Do you know who's old by who calls you 'Lonnie'?" Very insightful question...

There's nothing wrong with asking a question that draws a laugh.

People like to go on-campus. There was actually a study 10 yrs or so ago that verified that statement ... it was focused on people over 30 I believe.

i worked at the Lovelight one summer

I worked there for about a year in the late 90s, until it was evident it was going to close again.

Stoops and Kruger have coached together at 3 different schools. That is beyond weird.

Lon pointed this out. When Bob was at both places, Lon left within months.
