Another note, it really irks me of how many people didn't wear the white shirts. I know they won't be able to fit everyone, but there were SO many people that refused to bother. We went to a lot of trouble to make that happen, including people like myself that helped pay for it. We've never had the most knowledgeable fan base, and we're getting better overall, but it was really disappointing to me. I don't expect everyone to have that opinion, just venting.

Ya, that was a bit annoying to watch people not bother. We definitely took a step forward as a fanbase tonight, but have work yet to do.

On the other hand, I snagged two extras when the guy in front of me didn't take them with him. Going to give them to a coworker's kids(they'll be gigantic on them) along with a set of thunder sticks. Said coworker is from Indiana and absolutely refuses to buy her kids UT or A&M gear but told them they could support other Texas schools, so gonna try to get them hooked on SFA basketball early.

And why couldn't the band put on white shirts?

I do have a different take. A 'white out' or 'purple out' has Never worked at SFA. Tonight was the closest I've ever seen it come to working. I think, subtly, dressing for wet and cold makes it harder for some of the older crowd to want to do a wardrobe change at the game. But still, If you look at the wide shots, it's about 1/3 white shirts, maybe a little more. I saw a lot in my section wearing them. And, you'll see them as walking billboards around the community in months to come. So I appreciate your effort and expense.

That's a good point, they'll definitely get some wear over the next several months around Nac.

And I will say. It did look pretty cool with the fans who had them on!

Wife and kids were hoping to grab shirts and thought the staff would be handing out shirts as the first 5000 ppl entered the doors as I've seen happen at major league games. Needless to say there weren't many shirts on seats in the section we sat in

Forgot to add, appreciate you and others making it happen, looked good on the TV replay!

The bandwagon cam last night was a nice touch. I was cracking up.

Yeah also, should have the fan fest later in the season.

Definitely - with a weather contingency plan.

In a few years, the weather contingency plan can be the practice gym.
