Frozen Sooner

...after going to a game at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.
5 minutes before scheduled tip and I was able to get a seat in the courtside student section. Like RIGHT on the court. Tickets are FREE to students, by the way.
The crowd didn't seem to know when to or for what to cheer. Apparently the tradition is you hold "Roooooooooolll" until the first time 'Bama scores, but nobody seems to have pointed out that making noise when you're on offense isn't the best way to go about this.
Gym was only about 3/4 full, and it's very much smaller than LNC (at least it seemed to be.)
Mind you, this was for the debut of a brand-new coach who SHOULD generate a lot of excitement: Anthony Grant is a bona fide stud. Sure, the opponent was Montevallo and it was an exhibition game, but I thought a few more people would be stoked to see the new style.
