@AlabamaMBB
IT'S COMING! @AlabamaMBB and @AlabamaWBB ready to put on a show at season tipoff event the weekend of Oct. 18. Stay tuned for more details!

For the first time under Grant, we are going to have some sort of midnight madness event. This would bolster his recruiting efforts if people actually showed up. If no one comes, it makes us look even worse. I've read rumors on other sites that this may take place in Foster and other rumors have said maybe even on the quad. I think anywhere but Coleman Coliseum would be a good idea.

My question though is are you guys that will be on campus going to attend this event? Campus should be buzzing for the A&M game.





Yes I'm aware Grant sucks, we don't score points, should have been fired, etc. etc.

Yes but it definitely should be done at Coleman.

I'd totally go as a student. When I was there we'd do pretty much anything if it was an excuse to stay up late.

I wish I was still a stunt and didn't live 3 1/2 hours away. I'd totally be there. Heck, I still might find a way, but not likely.

It will look bad if we did it in Coleman unless our basketball fan base has a sudden resurrection.

You could get nice and drunk for this. I would have gone if they had it when I was a student.

Yep. I'm hopeful that'd be incentive enough for people to show up.

They should do it on the quad. On a football weekend if possible. Actively recruit the fraternities/sororities to show up

The athletic administration is pretty new at getting creative on stuff.

If they did it on the quad it would be the first time any school did something like that. Would get good fun coverage on sec network/ESPN.

I don't understand how that would work? set up a basketball court on the quad lawn? no one would have a good view.

I'll go just cause hardly any one ever supports the basketball team anyways and its free for students.

Hint: this will not be a midnight madness type event....but what they will have should be pretty neat

I thought all opening practice exhibitions were referred to as midnight madness?

It's not going to be practice, and it won't be at midnight. But it will be cool and will definitely capitalize on the crowd that will be in town

Few if any midnight madness events are at midnight fwiw.

I'm just going by what our players are referring to it as on twitter.
