Am I the only one that liked the old Littlejohn better?

Listen to Duck Vitale how restrained he is
Also check out the third comment about Mike Eppley.

I don't like the trend where

the cameras are on the same side of the court that the team benches are on. I always preferred it when you could see both team's bench at the top of the screen. Duke has always been this way. Clemson is that way now and a lot of other schools are that way now.
As far as being there in person, I like the newer setup.

I agree to a point about it being better in person

Seats are more comfortable etc. you make a good point about the benches. Also the camera angle was a lit steeper back in the day which always made it a different look from other places.

Agteed on the camera angle Owens. I talked to both DAD and CBB a few times about not being able to see the team's benches on TV. The both said they agreed with us.

There has never been a more smug bastid in all of college basketball, with the possible exception of Rat Face.

I get sick of having to turn off the ACCN every time they run that Smith special that makes him look like the second coming.

I know some people don’t like the new changes, but on the whole I think it’s a much better facility.
I wish the students were in a better location, and I also wish turbo cameras were on the other side of the court.
But there is no denying that it’s a much nicer place to watch a game. Plus, equally important are the player facilities that make the game experience much better.
I also think the experience for larger donors was much needed, and essential in today’s climate.

I was at that game. A friend and I had front row seats right under the basket. William Devane and another football player whose name escapes me sat right beside us.. actually on either side of us. William let me hold his national championship ring. That was an amazing experience to be on the baseline at that game with so many star players on the court.

He was elite but there was magic and bird and who would figure someone else would come along and do something that would make you forget about their being the best.

MJ actually wasn't even the leading scorer that night. "All-American Sam Perkins scored 30 points and Jordan added 24 to lead top-ranked North Carolina to an 84-81 victory at Clemson."
I wouldn't have guessed that Jordan would go on to average 30 ppg in the NBA while Perkins would only average 12.

I miss the old "RabbleRouser" section behind the benches

General admission bleacher seats. Stand in line....sometimes camp out in front on the gate door. Then when they open the door & check your ID, you run like Hell to get the best seats you can get, preferably top row, center court, behind the scorer's table.
I remember giving Dean, Norm, & Lefty some serious **** from there! Good times.

Dood I was there for all of those games in the student section. Has there ever been a better year for hone games and visiting talent than the 82-83 season or am I just remembering it that way? Duke was in the bottom of the league with us I believe.

or a SMART nerd for that matter but I have my ticket stub attached to that game program (like new). Even have the coke souvenir cup saved tucked away in a box somewhere. I’ve always collected game programs and baseball cards as a hobby. Glad I have!

my greatest memories at Clemson. And we pretty much sukt every year. But every once in a while we would pull out a performance. And students being that close made a difference.

Yep I miss all the old arenas. I miss old minor league ballparks that “smell like baseball” too. I just miss the history I guess.
