It was a snow burst clipper, and not a full moon, that greeted the 10,000 who attended the TU vs. Nova game on Wednesday night after the game and on the way home.
No doubt, lack of full moon aside, with emotions already running high, some of the best fans were showing werewolf tendencies, and letting their emotions get the best of them during the game, out lashing with some wild antics, including from the front of Section 103. It wasn't all Brunson related, some still feeling more than slighted that he's not wearing the Cherry and White, let alone the Rick episode, with others long running and currently, unsettled as our era of inconsistency is seemingly, make that in actuality, continuing on .
No one went off more than the two on the left side of Row B in 103, the one in the suit particularly. In full attack mode, constantly, directed at Brunson, Dunphy, the refs, Shizz and who knows who else, it went beyond enough that it wasn't a good look for our university, some said, me included. We've seen these kinds of occurrences at other events, like at professional games, for sure, those seemingly wanting to be recognized for trying to be a part of the show, doing their acts at a fever pitch.
All that changed, especially there, and it wasn't just because the game ended.
Any one else see Aaron McKie on the court side of press row immediately after games end, not far from play by play commentator John Baum, verbally putting the loudest perpetrator in his place, saying if he had something to say, bring it to me, pointing towards the team's dressing room? That guy was gone 10 seconds later, a reality check in hand, like a puppy dog, tail between his legs
Suddenly, after more than 15 years at the Liacouras Center, at Saturday's game vs. Drexel, there was a security person seated at the opening between the bench and press row, facing the stands, the entire game. In response to what happened 3 days before, I don't know, but it was there. The verbal slingers weren't.
I'm thinking that was a one and done.
What will never be one and done is the "great place to be" opinion anyone who likes to be close to the action, will have sitting in the location TPC23 is offering.
