To the UH fans that say basketball is stupid....you have every right to think that as its a free country but the fact your school went out and hired Sampson tells me that THEY care about basektball.

So why should we care? Basketball sucks. If anything we could save money by cutting the sport (not being entirely serious).

Me, I've been a basketball season ticket holder since I graduated in 1992 - 25 years. I attend better than 90% of all home games.

Kronke, vcoog, AttackCoog, IsaiahGlover, any other UH fan reading this, what about you?

No, yes, 99% of weekend games, 3/4 weeekday games

I go to about 80% of the games and i live about 20 miles away, the way i see it there is no better ticket in town. It's very affordable and our team is pretty damn good.

Dan Patrick and his boys are in Houston for the Super Bowl and were at the UH/UCF game to satisfy a bet the Danettes lost. They had to dress as cheerleaders and lead a cheer at a college bball game. IMO they got off easy because they got to do it at Houston.

Now I know UH's basketball attendance has been called out plenty on this board, but after watching the above video I feel compelled to post. Watching that video, and quite frankly any televised game at Hoffheinz, is embarrassing. It would be really great if you guys could pull yourselves together down there. This league NEEDS you.

I know pigskin is King down there, even bigger than that I'm sure. I get it. But you're telling me that in a metro of over 6 million people, your athletic department can only manage to get ~1,000 people in the building for a game featuring two of the better teams in the conference?? The reported attendance was 3,681 but we all know actual is never close to what's reported.

Now I know many of us Cincy fans were pretty unbearable when this league was born, but I think it's safe to assume that most of you can empathize with how we felt having worked so hard to get where we were only to have the rug pulled out from under us. We have A LOT of pride in our city and University. Not just our football or basketball or baseball teams. Your basketball team is 16-7 (7-4), has one of the most noteworthy coaches in our league, and is apart of a program that has a pretty rich history of success. We need you guys...The American Athletic Conference needs you guys to help carry the torch of this league. A good start would be showing up and supporting your university. And so I plead to all Cougar fans:

Come the f*** on!

i was avoiding this thread but why the hell not, nothing else is happening here

1) we are 16-7 (7-4) ...and not project to make an another at-large for the 30th consecutive year.
1b) it was ucf (no offense but talking bball national media), we were eliminated from the tourney as an atlarge, and we had lost 3 of our last 4

2) our attendance is actually much improving...its not spiking improving but you can definitely see growth, i could show you games from 4-5 years ago when it was empty
2b) we haven't had smu spike attendance improvement because we havent had any reason to have that kind of spike...we arent making the tourney, our recruiting classes are mostly jucos, we arent being ranked top 25, the AAC isnt full of top 10 teams..smu had a reason to hyped up, they were top 25, they were recruiting elitely, larry brown etc..
- its not like we dont have fans, its that our fans dont have any remote reason to be excite about basketball..nits wont excite people in a city like houston

as far as from a league perspective, im not worried about houstons attendance hurting the league...the bad thing about being a city thing, is also the good thing, if we become nationally note worthy they will come.
im more worried about getting elite houston kids to commit to houston..the rest will take care of itself

Is that what's so funny?

Chill. It's going to be ok. You Cincy fans are uber sensitive all of a sudden.

Real nice P6 attitude you have there. If that's the attitude your admin has, then it explains why it was relegated from a power conference a long time ago.

To be fair, this league is purely SMU and Cincy this year. We want this league to do well in basketball. Memphis and Uconn will bounce back and will have good attendances. Houston has decent teams, but are improving. Doing well in football isn't enough to raise all the perception, but need to make strides in basketball, getting 4 to 6 teams in the tourney every year and not have teams with sub 150 RPIs (or sub 200 in some cases)

Having worked so hard to get where you are?

Where do you think you are?

Here's a hint, you're in the same f'in place we all are but the difference is your school has SUCKED and completely underperformed in this league. You enter with over a decade of BCS money behind your sails and your entire program has just THREE championships in the American.

Newsflash: THAT BLOWS.

You're behind UConn, SMU, Tulsa, Houston, South Florida, Central Florida, and tied with East Carolina.

So, calm the F down. Our basketball attendance is horrible. It's almost as horrible as our last 30 years of play.

RE: Come the f*** on, Houston
I had season tickets from the time I graduated (1997) until last year. I didn't buy them this year because the disinterest was so high I couldn't give tickets away. I live right next to Rice so it isn't hard to get to a game, I just don't want to go anymore.

Additionally, have you seen our schedule?

UNC Pembroke, Morgan State, Angelo State, Cornell, Prairie View A&M, Rhode Island, UT Rio Grande Valley, Liberty, and Harvard. And that was better than it has been since Sampson arrived.

During football season, I get 10 requests each home game for tickets. I've never had an unused baseball ticket. However, I couldn't pay 10 people to go to a hoops game. Believe me, I tried. I had a box with free booze (well, I paid for it) and there were still few takers.

You can't suck for 30 years and expect better.

This week is especially bad because the entire city is partying with the Super Bowl. Free events are everywhere. My daughter is a junior ZTA and her entire sorority has been downtown every night this week bar hopping, tent hopping, special event hopping, and looking for celebs. They weren't going to choose UH-UCF over the NFL Experience.

03-weeping So much butthurt in this post as usual. The OPs point was your basketball attendance is beyond pathetic. During basketball season, it is a valid discussion. We want the talking heads to continue to talk this conference up, not just during football season.We are looking to get more money, are we not? You are very sensitive when it comes to any critique of UH. You want to be big time? Draw more then the local middle school, or tell ESPN to not show your Mickey Mouse program on their stations anymore.
