Unlucky schedule, I know.....

but after looking ahead on our basketball schedule, we play a home game vs. George Washington (who will definitely make the NCAA tourney) on the same day as our Bowl game.

Sucks for our B-ball team because this is arguably the best non-conference matchup we have all season, even including that Shitty Iowa game.

Hopefully our stadium will be somewhat filled up for this, but i honestly highly doubt it.

Dont get me wrong, the bowl game is WAY more important, it just stinks for our b-ball team to play in a stadium that wont have any students there because of Chirstmas break to begin with and the rest only 1/3 filled because the die-hards will be in Charlotte.

I'm Pissed.

12/14/2005 3:16:51 PM

That stinks - maybe they'll give away free tickets and beer.

12/14/2005 3:18:30 PM

they dont serve beer at the rbc center during college games iirc

the bowl game is essentially meaningless

12/14/2005 3:20:15 PM

for creating another thread when there was already a perfectly usable one.

12/14/2005 3:24:31 PM

yea but we get the $$ either way

any extra $ for winning pales in compaison to bcs $ and peach $, not to mention the measly amt will be split 12 ways.

12/14/2005 3:24:51 PM

...more like screwed by the Hurricanes. The game time could probably be rescheduled otherwise.

12/14/2005 3:33:22 PM

Fuck it, i have b-ball season tickets and my ass will be in the stands!!!!

That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever read in SportsTalk. NO bowl game is meaningless!

12/14/2005 3:41:14 PM

1. The basketball schedule was made after the hockey schedule.
2. The bowl game means nothing.
3. Basketball is teh roX.

You could say they're ALL meaningless, except the NC.

If you lose, your season's over.
If you win...your season's still over.

12/14/2005 3:55:54 PM

^I love it when the winner of the NC gets to play more games after the championship...

12/14/2005 3:58:53 PM

No, but they've at least won something.

No one gives a fuck about the winner of the other games except the schools involved.

12/14/2005 3:59:57 PM

Ok, let me elaborate since apparently not everyone could make the evidently wide leap of rationality from my previous statement.

No bowl game is worthless to the schools involved. The fact that we got a bowl game is big. Granted, it's not a prestigeous bowl game, and it's one of the lowest paying bowl games, but it still means big $$$ for the school, exposure, it's a valid recruitment tool, etc, etc, etc. If it is so worthless, they why were so many schools fighting for it? why are so many teams that won 6+ games so angry they didn't even get into a "toilet" bowl??

12/14/2005 4:06:22 PM

I'm not saying there's no benefit to making a bowl game.

But face it, there's the NC game, and then there's a shitload of consolation games.

The basketball tourney used to have those, too.

12/14/2005 4:07:54 PM

wow, gg panthro

didnt think about that but yeah that sucks

12/14/2005 4:08:58 PM

i'm not saying there is no benefit to being in a bowl, rather the outcome doesnt matter except for recruiting. and the beat s fla in the car care bowl isnt a huge recruiting tool.

and if it werent for revenue sharing, we would lose money going to this bowl

12/14/2005 4:12:58 PM

depends on if you like football or basketball better...
Me...football....so i'll be at the bowl game

12/14/2005 5:07:00 PM

The bowl game is NOT meaningless because of the extra practices we get. 20+ extra practices is extremely important especially with the way the NCAA limits everything. Granted the outcome of the bowl game is not that important, but its the sidebar stuff that is important.

12/14/2005 5:07:28 PM

ill be at the bball game, not a worthless bowl game against a stupid opponent.

12/14/2005 5:41:02 PM

Herb mentioned during his radio show on 12/5 that there is hope for the game time being changed. He said there are some issues because of George Washington and it being a TV game, but he said Fowler is working on it.

12/14/2005 9:08:47 PM

During the pregame show, Fowler mentioned that a game time move is still possible and we will know by Friday morning at the latest. One possibility even included having the womens game against GW at 4PM on the 30th at the RBC followed by the mens game at 7PM. FOX Sports Net is working on finding a way to do a move, but what is probably making this harder is that the game is also on Comcast Sports Net in the Washington area.

12/14/2005 9:15:16 PM

Having the games on the 30th would be a godsend for the ice.

Where are you guys getting that we MAKE money from playing in a bowl game?

Unless you play in a big bowl, it COSTS money to play in a bowl game.

The expenses outweigh the payout, everyone knows that.

12/15/2005 12:01:11 PM

Apparently, they don't.

12/15/2005 1:58:36 PM

well but since conference have revenue sharing, it is more money in the pot

we will get a about a Mil less than a non-bowl team like unc, but we will def be in the black overall

12/15/2005 2:03:00 PM

million bucks ain't too bad

i second that notion, grow a dick

12/15/2005 2:20:06 PM

how is he stupid?

he is right

the n&o even published this last week.

bowl payout for most is 750k whereas expenses are anywhere from 850k-1mil

rallydurham is correct although most people will hate to admit it.

Also 750K is peanuts compared to what each school gets regardless of record. The ACC has revenue sharing..

Quote :

"Money: Currently the ACC parcels out close to $10 million annually to each school in revenue sharing, meaning any three teams that join would need to generate close to $30 million per year just to keep the ACC at its current position. What happens if Miami football has a dip? What happens in years without a second BCS team? What if the economy starts driving down the cost of television packages, however unlikely that may seem?"

rwoody also made a good point. However, it matters not WHICH teams make the bowl games but rather how many teams make bowl games. We get the same money whether we go 6-5 and are bowl eligible or UNC goes 6-5 and is bowl eligible..

12/15/2005 4:36:55 PM

thank you

12/15/2005 4:39:42 PM

my point was only that the Bowl game is more important than this one basketball game.

and it is.....yeah, we may not profit from it, but it is national exposure, albeit small, it is what it is.

and I'll be at the basketball game, with a santa suit on.

If you see me, give Panthro a shout out!

OH SHIT!!!SHOULD I BRING MY PONG PADDLE?

12/15/2005 4:56:49 PM

YEAH, and we will practice layups afterwards.

12/15/2005 5:02:55 PM

basketball game got moved to friday night

12/15/2005 5:27:06 PM

FYI, the Houston Cougers had a home basketball game against North Texas that conflicted with their bowl game in Fort Worth. Houston actually had the game moved to an earlier start time and to North Texas (losing a home game) so fans could attend both the bowl game and the basketball game. Herb can't move the bball game to Charlotte, but he is trying to move the game to a later start time. We'll see what happens.

12/15/2005 9:08:13 PM

No, we won't "see what happens," because it's ALREADY BEEN MOVED.

12/15/2005 9:11:11 PM

will the game still be televised?
