There is nothing better to do here than to come and support the teams. Even during volleyball season the crowds were smaller and the Hawaii game did not drew that many fans. What else does this community want? They had the best Vball team ever at NMSU and nothing. I said that the coaches and players should reach out to the community because you never see any of them in activities around campus. It takes half and half I think, the players and coaches should get involved in the community and the community should respond by showing up to the games. neither is happening<BR/><BR/>GSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-11826137663986860572009-01-13T15:55:00.000-08:002009-01-13T15:55:00.000-08:00If reaching certain attendance/revenue goals was o...If reaching certain attendance/revenue goals was one of AD Boston's expectations of MM, then the 08/09 season will be a huge dissapointment. I can't imagine getting anywhere near the goal, unless it was ridiculously low. Until the day our football team draws a crowd, NMSU athletics is highly dependent on mens hoops for revenue. The reasons are obvious and already stated on this blog: bad scheduling and a larely unimpressive team. With Mumme's failure and MM's inability to get the community excited about his team, the state of our athletic budget has to be dire.<BR/><BR/>Not withstanding the aforementioned obvious, I still don't fully understand why attendance is so low. It's still D-I basketball, and there's not much else going on in LC.<BR/>-Aggie GlareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-89402821306317279652009-01-13T14:27:00.000-08:002009-01-13T14:27:00.000-08:00Las Cruces is what it is.

What you see in the stands are the die-hards, my wife and I are some. The fans are getting restless, listen and watch. I keep hoping.

Short of a big name in the Bracket Buster, there is no big name left on the schedule. Plus the teams play hasn't helped the cause either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-91774663161652095972009-01-13T05:06:00.000-08:002009-01-13T05:06:00.000-08:00A lot of that has to do with Menzies.He had the be...A lot of that has to do with Menzies.<BR/>He had the best team in the WAC last year and was a .500% team, up until the last two or three weeks of the season.<BR/><BR/>This year it's more of the .500% record. Yes, they are young but, the rebounding isn't getting better and they keep making the same mistakes.<BR/><BR/>The time has come for the coach to challenge the team to step it up and will them to victory.<BR/>Menzies just doesn't have that type of personality!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
