       The athletic department desperately misses Chris Murray. He was
       the boots on the ground for all the student engagement and
       marketing in the 2010s. Also agree the Pikiell post game on
       court interviews were a nice touch they should bring back (Geno
       is actually an awesome interview). All that being said it all
       comes down to winning. Win games and the attendance will follow.

       Toby needs mins. TSM really good game. Its just hard to feel
       excited about this team we still feel directionless and
       mediocre. Fan support has tanked really barring some remarkable
       run or turnaround Geno needs to go to reboot the program. I
       don’t even think we have that many truly talented players on the
       team TSM, Toby, Noll are good. Clarke too but no forward depth.
       Frey is solid but not a plus athlete.

       To your point (and others' similar point), the fan base right
       now is horrible.  Reported attendance of over 1,500 on the SBU
       website for this game...........that's probably 5x or 10x
       distorted, based on some of those cavernous end zone shots from
       Flo last night.  We really could use a Pikiell right now to
       speak with fans after games, and help energize the program.
       Where are the students???  It's a free ticket for them, and the
       athletic department not getting students out to the games is
       reprehensible.  Athletic department should have some of its
       interns going around to dorms prior to games to get students out
       to the games (yes, get back to basics with a brute force
       method).  SM is OK, but it's the easy way out for the Athletic
       dept, and is obviously not being as effective as we'd like.
       And yes, Toby needs minutes, when AC is back.  He's the 2nd most
       athletic player on this team, and he's a notch up from where he
       was last year, IMO.

       It wasnt just the end zones that were empty they showed the side
       across from the benches a couple of times and maybe 100 people
       there.

       whatever they were doing to engage the community and get people
       to come to games when coach pikiell was here has stopped or
       isn't working or it was coach pikiell carrying the load which is
       most likely the reason. attendance was decent with the carryover
       during the boles years but it declined to these depths today.
