    This whole discussion has to be about relevance. BU basketball is not about a professional sports team where the tickets are so expensive that only the truly die hards can manage to pay for them. BU basketball is about a community like it or not is a bit older that loves the game but do not have the energy to show the passion that some 20 year old whipper snapper has. This all could change 2 ways. First of all the student body would have to take a much greater interest in the program and 2nd a new arena that catered to those older, wealthier, donating and valued fans where they would have a 1st class experience a little further from the floor (some may chose to keep their old seats anyway) so the students could form a ring around the floor. Right now that ring would maybe go 2 deep!

    When I went to games I complained about the buzz kill from those older fans but we filled the student section to the brim. When they start filling their section I'll be glad to listen otherwise I'm in the Chico camp.

          it would be nice, but you know...I don't care what the others do and what they wear...
          I am watching the game & players, so what's the big issue about what everyone else is doing?

            Who said anything about standing the entire game...


            You're actually quite close to the type of fan I am, so I have no problem with that whatsoever Chico


            But I do always make sure to have my Red on....

              I wish I could say I don't care, but its very hard to miss sometimes, and it just boggles my mind why you would consciously do that...


              Well that and the young ladies who come out dressed like you know what basically trying to pick up guys instead of watching the game...


              News flash, we may glance at you at some point, but 99% of the male population came to watch the game and not you.

                You can do both! LOL You're kidding! Is there some deep issue you are not telling your friends. 99% of the straight males I know like to look and have no issues with a sexy dressing women in a sporting event! Why would they even comment negatively on it. I say bring it on with 3 inch strapping heels, jeans or skirts and a nice sexy top to go with it. Oh BTW wearing red would be nice! St Louis, you are kidding? RIGHT???

                  You wouldn't believe how many texts I send and recieve pointing out different women at the games. It makes the media timeouts much more enjoyable.

                  I wear red to every game, but I'm not about to tell my wife what to wear to a BU game. It's just not a battle I want to pick. I also sit next to a Kentucky grad that sometimes wears his Wildcat apparel.
