Isn't there a way for you to blame it on the spread offense, Pick?  And no mention of Phil Simms?  I think that's a first.

People arent going because of what you just mentioned... it costs money to go these functions. Take a family of 4 to college hoops game--easily $175. In case you havent noticed, times are tough. God forbid people would forego something as special as TU basketball...

BLA  is right, it's just the attitude of the city -- tulsa will never support a professional or college team like it should  - why do you think there are so many restaurants in tulsa?? cause this is all that tulsans like to do, go out to eat on friday, saturday nights - go to a movie every once and awhile and that's it -- which is why tulsa can't get any big time concerts (outside of country acts or has beens rock groups, ie the eagles) - cause they don't support any type of entertainment, period

BLA: are you serious... you going to all these games is somehow getting you in some sort of shape? What do you do at games??? Sit on you a-- last time I checked. Get a life and do something productive besides go to Tulsa area athletic contests... Talons, Oilers... you runnin for mayor?

Bad sports town?

Nonsense.

When Self was here, and Tubby, you couldn't get a seat.

Soccer even drew well when it won.

What's the definition of a bad sports town? A town with bad teams. Or a town with lousy fans. 

The WNBA is not quite a mainstream league. 
College basketball is. For a winning TU team to play with a third or quarter empty building indicates that this town is a little too uppity for its own good. I know TU grads who haven't been to a single basketball game.    
   
The coach and players deserve much better. 

Imagine trying to recruit for a winning team nobody cares about.

Senor, actually, that's a serious point with many.

At most TU games, you see guards guarding empty parking lots! There are few on-campus lots open to the public. Half-empty gyms, you'd think they'd pay fans to show up and park.

Picker, I would think that if a person is one of the people who do "care much" then they have a right to complain.

Picker, not sure what that last comment meant but seems like it's the responsibility of those that do care for TU to engage folks that are not active.
Attendance is an issue at all but the very top collegiate programs.  All number of media options, increased entertainment options, tighter budgets...you name it.

Richboy, interesting.....you know, media coverage is based on a couple of things.....the number of interested readers/viewers, and success. But attendance for a winner should be a given. As mentioned, I know a lot of TU grads who haven't been to a single game this season.

Cowboy, that's a problem, all right. Somebody said the closest free parking lot is over by the event-center building. Which holds a limited amount of cars.

Transplant, if TU grads won't go to games, what's going to attract anybody neutral?This quick note: Texas to the Ivy League? Texas to the Big Ten is the stupidest thing we've heard all morning. And it's been a pretty dumb day. Texas wants to zip its badminton team, etc., up to Minnesota? Laughable.

Thanks Picker and Deoro for the info..

You answered your own question Picker. .

Self, Tubby, and Nolan were successful here both in putting winning teams on the court that could compete nationally and maintaining fan interest.

So what's the difference between those guys and Wojcik?

I don't think it's that they are necessarily better basketball coaches, I think it's that while they insisted on their kids playing sound, aggressive defense, they also gave their teams the freedom to play aggressive, creative, and entertaining offense.

Their philosophy was to run, push the ball, wear down opponents, score in bunches, and bury the opposition if they got the chance.

Fair or not, the perception of Wojo is that he wants to put all the effort on defense; slow the game down and limit possessions; and hopefully battle through enough 8 to 10 minute scoring droughts to grind out enough 52-48 wins over Tulane and Marshall to get another CBI home game.

Probably unfair, but that's the perception and he'll never get the players or fan support to turn things around unless he makes a big change in his coaching philosophy, which he won't.

When the local cable company will show every other team in the nation but yours because test patterns are more entertaining then watching your team play, you either need to change or a change needs to be made.

Wojo has had 5 years; no NCAA's this year and he needs to go.
