Subject: You think we should operate from fear and negativity. I don't! Everyone thought moving to palumbo would help the program. It didn't. It just announced that we had become a small time program. Playing games at the Mine tells the public that we are serious again about hoops.
In reply to: DuqOfEarl 's message, "As usual duq81 and CLK, you both totally miss the point. Vilanova, St. Johns, and Georgetown actually have a student and loyal fan base in their cities. Duquesne has neither,ane it will be embarassing when only 4000 Duquesne fans show up, and the rest of the Consol is filled with the enemy. Maybe your hero Greg A. could let Duquesne students in for $5.00 to help alleviate the situation. Maybe you could give Greg a call and see what he thinks of my idea. Thanks." on Wednesday, September 08, 06:30:16pm

  • When has WVU, Xavier, or Dayton had more of their respective fans at a Duquesne home basketball game than did Duquesne? If so, cite the specific dates. I don't believe that it ever happened. (NT) -- Always a Duke, Wednesday, September 08, 09:32:26pm
  • I will guarantee that DU vs. Dayton on January 14 2005 was one such occurance. If there weren't more, it was close. Regardless, their presence was felt right down to a "This is our house" chant from nearly the entire red seat section, the entire opposing section. As was usual back under Nee, the only kids who were cheering were in the all-volunteer band that is bigger than the mostly paid member band that we have now.

  • Again, now you also totally miss the point. The only reason they didn't outnumber Duq. fans was because the games were held in the Palumbo. THAT-is-the-Point! With all the extra available seats at Consul, I guarntee that we will be out numbered this season for these 3 games. If we're not, I promise to donate $100 to the Duq. atheletic fund for each game that our fans attendance exceeds theirs. (NT) -- DuqOfEarl, Thursday, September 09, 12:09:54am
