I remember when the Hump was a tough place to play.
I?m getting the feeling that?s about to happen again.
God bless if so.

This team plays hard and with intensity and are fun to watch. Offense could improve a little and free throws could use lots of work but I love watching them now/
Yes
There are going to be some ugly offensive point totals put up by some opposing teams in the hump this year. And by us too, but I don't know if I'm just starved for well coached basketball, but I didn't mind watching our offense last night. We're just not good shooters. It's nto like we are sitting around on offense and not doing anything or doing anything incredibly frustrating, except to the extent you get frustrated about not making shots a D-I team should make.Quote:

I was in a Starkville from 2001-2005. I was blessed to go and watch Mario Austin, Lawrence Roberts, Zimmerman, Bowers, Big Feces Marcus Campbell, Winsome, Powers, Old Man Harper and a bunch of other guys. So much fun. Basically 4 straight years of sell out crowds and just crazy crowds. Then they moved the students and destroyed the atmosphere.
With regards to the final 4 team, this was the best lineups we had in the modern era. I wonder what Richard could've done with these players? One thing about Stans was he could find the talent. Timmy wasn't on anyones radar till the HS state championship his senior year. Stans did notice him and scooped him up. Stans was smart enough to go get Roberts before someone else got him when the Baylor debacle happened.Quote:

But it is incredible watching Cam dominate the court on defense and last night those dunks and plays were great.
I have been to 3 home games with my son and a friend. This team plays tough about 10 deep and are fun to watch. Get to the Hump. They deserve and need our support in person again. Hail State!
I was there the final four year. Camped out for seats before the AR game. The Hump was a literal living hell for other teams.Quote:

Yep. For some time the Hump was considered one of the toughest places to play in the conference. Probably THE toughest behind Rupp. Nothing compares to a rocking Humphrey Coliseum. Except a rocking Dude.Quote:

We brought HELL on opposing teams. The 1991 game vs LSU to win the SEC Title was the loudest that place has ever been and louder than when I saw Metallica in concert. Crazy
This team deserves our support. They have played with high intensity and effort throughout each game. They are by no means perfect. Free throws and shooting certainly has a ways to go, but Jans is getting the most out of his team so far. We might not be in the Ark, Bama, Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky grouping, but if we play hard like this every game we can be the 6th best. UF,LSU, aTm and Ole Miss are all bubble teams according to Lunardi. We play them all at home and need to grab those wins with a loud hump
Agree on the support. They play hard. I'll likely make it in on a weekend now to attend
AS one that enjoyed the last days of the old gym, and the opening of the hump. Memories of Ray White, Wiley Peck, Gary Hooker, here’s to the NEW DOGS kicking new age Arss go Dogs...!!!!
Marquette seemed to be pretty tenacious on defense. Us winning that game was huge.
And someone gave us a vote in the Top 25.
Take care of Utah today and folks will start to notice that we are undefeated and are playing ridiculous defense.
By the way, that 55 points we gave up to Marquette was the most points we've given up in our first 5 games.
Don't care who you play but that's impressive.
I was there you are right?almost.. the Nit game in 79 ??who dat game? agaisntAlcorn was the wildest game.Quote:

The Kentucky game with Lawrence Roberts and the tip in at the buzzer to lose was the loudest and best crowd I have ever experienced in my lifetime. Everyone in the building was absolutely 100% into the game. I was sitting in the upper section above the entrance vomitorium and I don?t believe I sat down the entire game. Loudest I ever heard the arena, and then the tip in to lose happened. Absolutely silence. 120 dB to 0 in a blink of an eye.
And let's hope it extends as well to the ladies team. In case anyone hasn't notice, the ladies are playing good basketball and playing hard for coach Purcell. He seems to have a lot of personality and energy. Would really like to see the Hump get back close to the Vic days again.Quote:

He got a technical with about 5 minutes to go and i hollered at him "that is what you get you 17ing country bumpkin" he lost his mind and threatened to whoop my ass. the refs came over and told me to cool it or i would have to leave. i had his ass rattled we beat them and when he walked off he mouthed 17 u to me. after watching the replay i was embarrassed, but the crown royal was talking that night.
If you get in the head of an opposing coach you should never be embarrassed. Kudos to you.Quote:
