Being a fan doesn't necessitate unwavering cheerleading; skepticism has its place in the realm of sports appreciation. Embracing a critical mindset fosters a deeper understanding of the game, encouraging fans to analyze performances, strategies, and decisions. It's okay to question outcomes and acknowledge flaws while maintaining passion for the sport.
I’ve been driving all day and just now looking at results…you’ve got me in stitches…bravo!!
Sure, but we’re 5 games into a season under a new coach with a bunch of transfers and have a 4-1 record. Yet, people on here have already concluded we’re a below average A10 team. That’s ridiculous and smacks of someone wanting to be the guy “who told us so” when we had any kind of positive vibes. You can point out flaws without crapping all over a win the minute it happens and saying SDSU is a bad team or program is just factually wrong.

Am I in the clear now?
There was a guy standing at half court holding up his iphone for the first 15 mintues of the game. For a while, based the reports here, I assumed he was doing the camera work for the stream.
My experience with JackRabbit fans had been 100% positive through the Sunday. They were great in SD for the pentagon classic. They were great on Sunday. Most of them were great yesterday, but, there were 3 in the row in front of us that were intolerable yesterday. It was as if they had never been to a neutral court game before and didn't expect people cheer for their team. I did my best to annoy the hell out of them for the rest of the game when they expressed displeasure with my cheering.
It is a beautiful area. The school also has some buildings with impressive architecture. Saturday was the first night of their "Night of Lights" festival that runs through January. See photos below. Place looks great at night. The Marriott Sawgrass has some nice amenities, too. Honestly, I would not have had an issue with arena if it wasn't for the streaming issues (for you guys) and the fact that their scoring equipment seems to be out of date, in poor functioning order or the tournament didn't have people that could use it correctly (how does the game clock start, regularly, without the shot clock starting)? The size isn't really a problem for the teams that were there and probably helps to have us in a smaller arena if we can't get more fans. We had decent seats with chair backs similar to standard seats in EBA. The other sections, though, were just wooden, pull-out bleachers.
Brian - please stop trying to turn me into a nice guy. I enjoy being the dark aggressive asshole to our adversaries. This being genuine and even handed spirit makes me ill and sightly uncomfortable.
I'm happy with where we are and how we're playing. I'm a defense first guy and it's clear the emphasis is on that end as the first priority.
