I'm still confident that the fans will come as the wins do, and we're not going to drag people to games. Besides, what the hell else is there to do in Oxford?

Even Ole Miss(the only SEC team with a worse historical resume' than UGA) drew almost $5k. Our hoops fan base is a flat out embarrassment. It doesn't change anything by complaining, but it doesn't help by joining the rest of the apathetic masses either.

I firmly believe that the Georgia Basketball Program is in better hands right now than in any time in it's history. I live in south Florida and watched every game that was televised. We've got the right man at the right time at the helm. I feel that the prospects for success...SUSTAINED success is here to stay. This team will become a fixture in the NCAA tourney in the not-so-distant future. The days of tiny crowds will surely transform into a groundswell of support in very short order. Just as Mark Richt has resurrected the football program after a decade of funk, Dennis Felton is doing the same for men's hoops. Both men are doing it the right way and that is the best news of all. Folks...we're 1 win away from a 20 win season. Considering where we were 3 years ago, I'd say that is a minor miracle. You could not have stated your thoughts any better.
