Octagon of Doom

[SoBeCuse]

Of all my years watching college hoops seriously (20 yrs), this Octagon of Doom has always seemed to me as the most intimidating atmosphere. Doesn't matter how good or mediocre KSU is. On TV it looks amazing. Looks more intense than Phog, Cameron, PEC, etc. Anybody else agree?

 

[Orangezoo]

Yeah I concur always impressed by the kstate faithful

 

[SoBeCuse]

Veley should be listening to their PA guy. He's on point. Or ask him for a coaching.

The PA guy is a superstar.

The RAC is tougher


NOT!

Frank Martin was the perfect fit for that team, the fans and arena. I really wish he had stayed.

I want to see Perry Ellis's birth certificate! He looks like hes 38 yrs old.

I don't understand why he left...Why take a step down to coach at a nothing school in a weaker conference?

He's got shrinking head syndrome as well

I heard that all of the players threatened to transfer if he remained coach of the team.

I start to laugh out loud and it got caught in my throat after I saw "NOT!"

One big reason he left was because the admins at KSU gave no support when one of his star players was suspended for a Very minor infraction. I think it was a meal or some such thing.

I also love that arena and how steep the seating is

Wasn't that for a game against us in the 2012 tournament?

Their PA guy was the first thing that caught my attention upon turning on the game last night.

He's definitely professional and more terse than Veley, but he's got that Generic PA Voice. (I was really disappointed in 1998 or so when the Mets replaced the longtime PA guy at Shea with someone who sounds like Handsome Dan on Wayne's World 2 [and the PA announcer at 75% of the professional sports venues in America].)

I don't like Veley's content, but at least he uses his natural voice.

I think it's more of a unique than generic PA voice. There is definitely excitement in his voice and when the time hit 1 minute left in the H, 2H, or OT he did a simple but sinister sounding, "One minute." Veley should seek his help.

Veley should simply seek help, vocal or perhaps otherwise.

I would think Texas Tech's home court would have to be in the running.


What, too soon?
