Thursday at the Cam (2-22-18)
- Thread starter HerdFan1971
- Start date
NT is no factor, The only team we are concerning with is UTSA. They held on and won over La Tech. We need a Herd win Thursday in B'ham and a UTSA loss in Denton. That would clinch the bye. Otherwise we would need a win in Murfreesboro Saturday on Senior Day
Yep, beat a fading LA Tech team. Herd needs 1 win on the road next week and a loss by UTSA on the road, probably at N. Texas.
I'd say NT will win against UTSA if it's in Denton. Prolly Senior day for them.
I think we can beat UAB but we'll have to hit the shots and rebound better. Prolly their senior day as well.
I don't have much hope beating MT down there. That would be quite impressive if we did.

The UNT/UTSA game is Thursday night, Thus it is NOT senior night. The Mean Green won in San Antonio by 1 in the previous meeting. The past 2-3 games they have not played well. We need a Herd win in Bama and a UTSA loss. Otherwise we must win in Murfreesboro on Saturday.
Any home team playing on Thursday will also have a home game on Sat.
Conference Senior nights were last night or will be next Sat. night.

Have you ever sat in the top of The Cam? HOT as "what HELL is suppose to be." If the Cam were The JOAN....$$$$ would have been located to upgrade the AC in the aging facility....opened November 27, 1981 when ARMY played The HERD. It was designed to seat 14,000----BUT BUDGET CUTS made it a finished seating product of 10,250. It has been upgraded "some" and now seats 9,048. I, for one, would like to see it knocked down and start all over with a new arena sitting on its location.
Just my opinion......HerdZilla22
Guess you didn't get the memo, Zilla, but one of the first things Hamrick did at the CAM after DD's hire was to have work done on the ventilation system there, new fans, perhaps, and rework some circulation issues. Not nearly as bad as it use to be. Besides, we haven't hit anywhere close to a sellout or the 9,000 capacity since the early Herrion days or the Jones era when Memphis and Calipari came to town and later when DJ returned with the FUC nights.
Want a new arena, Zilla? "No Problemo", my man. Just whip out your checkbook or the drastic plastic and send about $90 million to Hamrick or Pres. Gilbert (I'm sure they won't quibble and will make haste in getting you and Danny a new playpen!!).
FYI, for a good reference on the cost of such a project, you can log on to www.jmu.edu and check out the slick video presentation on the planned new Convo Center at Madison. The Dukes plan on breaking ground on the $85 million, 8500 seat facility this year and it will be used for basketball and other major school events, concerts, etc. A similar such project would be ideal for MU and H-town, IMO
