Atmosphere at CA today (vs depaul)
« on: January 12, 2008, 04:16:06 PM »
was actually pretty intense.  the entire crowd seemed VERY frustrated with this team and at norm.  so many people wanted boothe in, lawrence out. and tj out.  people were yellin at norm, callin mase jr a bum (i did say go back to memphis.  that one crazy 3 really ticked me off).  i was surprised how mad the crowd got, and i was happy to see it.  if we keep playin this bad and get that out coached, i can really see some "fire norm' chants on the horizon.

Before you said the people sitting around you in your section wanted boothe in. Usually I can only hear about 5 people down three rows up and back which is about 35 people. So did you walk around the arena at different parts of the game to get the consensus of the whole crowd? Or are you a great lip reader? To make a bold statement such as the whole crowd was frustrated with the team and Norm and who they wanted in and out is a foolish assumption and generalization.

I understand your frustration and I think it was evident of a lot of poor factors today but lets not make these types of generalizations. It was evident people wanted Larry Wright in the game because there were chants of his name and loud applause every time he got in thats something you can say for fact.

at the section i was sitting in.  almost everyone was yelling for boothe to come in.  but it was obvious everyone (aside from depaul fans) were frustrated at norm and the team.

Of course the crowd is going to be somber and upset at the scoreboard however to point the finger and say who the whole crowd wanted in is absurd. The whole crowd wanted Liam Beisty in because he always gets the loudest ovation when he comes in its so obvious. Do you see my point?

A ton of frustration.  You could cut the tension with a knife (sorry for the cliche).  After Geno went right into the heart of the zone (3 on 5 mind you), I almost walked out of the arena.  Seriously. 

How do you call two timeouts and not make ANY substitution during a run like that?

Norm may want to live and die by Geno, but it may eventually cost him his job.
