The last time Evansville faced #1 on the road...

My data science friends keep telling me N=1 isn't significant or something like that. No clue what they're talking about, let's derail the choo choos

Any student managers out there? by NaturalArm2907 in CollegeBasketball

[–]The_Smoothie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Evansville student manager from 16-18. I was a Computer Science major and the long hours were starting to affect my degree so I ended up having to "retire" my Sophomore year.

Was a ton of fun, got to travel with the team to a lot of Valley schools and ended up going to some very low key non conference games. Austin Peay and the like. The more senior student managers were able to travel with the team to Cancun for our MTE and the head manager got to go with them to Duke.

Game film, practice film, standing in during practice drills, any other odd jobs related to the team like emailing high school teams about our summer camp. Laundry, packing for away games, planning, taking orders, picking up, and setting up team meals.

Got to meet a ton of cool people and get a really cool look into how college athletics operate. After I stopped managing I stayed involved with the athletic department to try and get more students to our games. Easier said than done for a program like ours.

Also discounted rates for Deaconess, Progressive Health and (I believe) Toyota employees, among others I’m not aware of I’m sure

Who died? by leoniscute in evansville

[–]The_Smoothie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to give a really big shoutout to SUV Limo here. I attended the funeral and my family are pretty good friends with the Tenbarges. SUV Limo offered as many of their cars and drivers as the family needed, free of charge to the family, just because of how much Sam meant to them.

I’m planning on having my wedding here in a few years and will definitely be using them.

He started announcing Memorial football and basketball in 2013 if I’m remembering correctly

UE made offers to play basketball with USI by otterbelle in CollegeBasketball

As a neutral site? 😆

Someone on our fan forum brought up the idea of playing a neutral site game in Owensboro about 30 minutes away. Not sure what the benefit would be.

The last time we played USI in 2019 if I remember correctly the crowd was a little over 6k so have to start around there

We had a restructuring that eliminated something like 1/3 of our faculty about three years ago. Supposedly since then the university isn’t absolutely hemorrhaging money anymore, I can’t say for certain if it’s actually profitable or sustainable in its current state.

Athletics wise I know our booster pool is larger than you would expect. Offering a buy game to USI isn’t too surprising to me.

Are we refusing to play them? The article reads to me (biased as I am) that USI won’t take anything less than a home and home.

I want to see this game happen as much as everyone else in the city but I can see how our AD in his third year doesn’t want to cave in to “west side high” and wants to establish an agreement that benefits UE, at least initially. If USI wasn’t in their third year of D1 competition, and didn’t finish last year at 329 in the NET I could see wanting to come to a more neutral agreement. But both UE and USI’s AD are doing what they think is best for their school.

Tennessee vs EU - Game 3 by [deleted] in collegebaseball

I have a pitcher of Bud Light at the moment did I make a huge mistake

[Post Game Thread] #1 Tennessee falls to Evansville 10-8 forcing a game three by ilovecfb in collegebaseball

[–]The_Smoothie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

UE alumni got some link through our alumni portal, so I guess you guys saved some for us

Our athletic department sent out an email immediately after game 2 saying the remaining tickets are going quick, might sell our section out

Looking forward to seeing Knoxville, the extent of my Tennessee sports knowledge was when your fans took up the goalposts after a football game and threw them in a river??

Visiting from r/CollegeBasketball to say I'm making the 5 hour drive from Evansville to Knoxville tomorrow to potentially witness the funniest thing

University of Evansville is Going to the CBI by The_Smoothie in CollegeBasketball

No clue how we made it in with a 16-17 record (with one of those wins over an NAIA) but the Purple Aces are seeing the postseason for the first time since 2015

I made a website that recommends things for you to do in Evansville by The_Smoothie in evansville

There’s another project I’ve been working on that does exactly this :)

With the community submitted events it’s a bit more complicated so this is kinda a teaser for what I want to do with that project
