Anyone else struggling with CBB?


Feb 20, 2021, 11:21 AM

College Basketball is tough to watch this year. I am not sure if it’s the no fans aspect or teams having to miss so many games, but I do not find myself wanting to veg out and watch a ton of games. I haven’t even recorded a game this year. Usually I record them and then after kids and wife go to bed, I would watch. I haven’t done that once this year.

I want out of this funk.

Ha! Didn’t even realize that connection. I am just watching the GAMEDAY show and realizing how much I don’t care.

I've been struggling with CBB for about 45 years.

I loved it in college, being at the games as a student. Then, meh. Clemson rarely having a good team probably has had the most impact on that.

There are many who have not experienced what Littlejohn

could be like. In the Wise/Tree/Rome era the student seats were on the floor behind the scorer's table, the length of the floor, like Cameron does. With people like Lefty Driesell, David Thompson, Phil Ford and Walter Davis coming in, and we being as good as any of them, it was ear splitting in there. Fun times.

David Thompson so close you could almost touch him. So busy hollering for Wise and co. to beat him that I didn't really stop to appreciate what I was seeing in him.

I like to hope we got that atmosphere pretty close to that


Feb 20, 2021, 12:20 PM

during some of the Purnell years, at least it felt like we actually had a home court advantage.

I can imagine that with the players and success we had then, there were times it was just like that. It did feel like, even from 1200 miles away, that we were going to compete with anyone.

You shoulda seen the Barnes era.

We were a flat out basketball school for 3-4 years and the Cameron crazies had nothing on us. Camping out for 2-3 days for tickets to every ACC game....full house...it was nuts.

Difference between the Purnell era was that there was hope that Bowden was good. We knew we sucked at football in the 90’s.

Well, in the Tates Locke era, our BB team was top notch


Feb 20, 2021, 1:22 PM

and we had the worst football eva. We won five games in two years. FIVE IN TWO. LOL.

Tates had the best team money or drugs could buy.

hall group (E-2), would eat at Schilletter, and those 4 identical Grand Prix were parked side by side in the horseshoe parking lot. We would watch Tree, Skip, Stan and Colon come out of the dorm across the lot, get into their cars, and drive off. All but Tree were freshmen.

We would say to each other, "All the NCAA has to do is come eat lunch here on a Saturday, and we're dead." Sure enough, a couple of months later they threw the book at us, Wise was gone, and we didn't really recover until Cliff Ellis and Davis/Campbell. TD that, whoever anonymous person you are.

There was another guy in there, I forget exactly what year, named Billy Williams. Was sort of a chubby point/shooting guard. Then he lost weight between his junior and senior years, and for one year he was as good as anyone we ever had. Guy was a magician his senior year.
