This is a bit off topic but sort of related to RTL. Does UT BB have a Midnight Madness?
They have tried it in the past, but it was generally poorly received by comparison to the "blue-blood" programs. In a 22,000 seat arena, a lot of empty seats, if even 5,000 people attend, gives a sense of apathy.
It was horribly done.....not the fans fault.....it was nowhere near the showcase that Kentucky puts on
I was just joking around with that comment but I did like watching the guy play and part of the reason is how hated he was by other teams fans.
Aaahh, no problem. People have probably said worse...lol.
FWIW, my 92 year old grandmother LOVES Marshall Henderson for the same reasons you do, so it's not an entirely rogue opinion. She would call me and tell me every time OM was playing on TV to let me know she was watching.
No, I agree. Realistically, the level of fan interest in the first basketball practice will never rival UK fan interest. It's just what makes each school unique.
However, the fans who did/would come out were met with a pretty rinky-dink production that wasn't worthy of their time and support. It can, and should be more organized and extravagant. I would just as soon not have one as to see it done poorly.
