MARCH 6 2017 “IS IT TRUE”

IS IT TRUE that Mole #4 tells the City-County Observer that newly installed leader of the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party Scott Danks is starting his new job off with a decisive move?… Danks formed a posse and taken all of the things owned by the Democrats out of the Kunzel Building commando style on a Sunday afternoon?…the fact remains that the Vanderburgh County Democrats are leaving while owing roughly three years of rent for space? …It’s obvious that Mr. Danks realized why use something you can’t afford or don’t need? …we would like to congratulate Chairmen Danks for doing what others only talked about?

IS IT TRUE many CCO readers feel that the EVSC recent golf course purchase is the ultimate slap in the face to taxpayers? …we wonder where was the public discussion on this initiative? … it’s been alleged that the property in question change ownership immediately prior to the EVSC purchase? … we wonder why are the people of this community are so willing to roll over for this kind of highly questionable backroom deals without challenging them publicly?  …we predict that this golf course shall soon be used as a facility for area high school golf practices and tournaments?

IS IT TRUE the Evansville Sports Corporation proudly announce a while back that they had attracted the Great Lakes Valley Conference Basketball Tournament to the Ford Center for 2017?…the tournament was played last week and to the surprise of no one who understands human nature, the attendance was not up to snuff? …one semifinal session with USI playing drew 929 attendees while the other only drew 401?…USI typically draws a larger crowd than that at the on-campus gymnasium?…it seems as though USI fans like the PAC Center better than the beautiful downtown $127 Million Ford Center?

IS IT TRUE that the championship games of the GLVC tournaments drew a whopping total of 809 people to the Ford Center on Sunday?…there were two championship games, one for men and one for women and only 7% of the seats in Ford Center were occupied?…the tickets when bought in the overall ticket package were less than $2 per game and still the crowd was paltry?…given the declarations of last month about how the UE Lady Aces drawing 500 fans is not sufficient for Ford Center to break even, we assume that the GLVC tournaments didn’t generate a profit for the Ford Center?

IS IT TRUE we wonder if the new downtown Doubletree Hotel draws a quorum of basketball fans to downtown Evansville for the GLVCC Tournament as predicted by the Evansville Sports Corporation?

IS IT TRUE that the Evansville Thunderbolts lost for the second night in a row to Pensacola Florida 4 to 0?  …Pensacola outshot Evansville 47-25 in handing the Thunderbolts their seventh consecutive loss overall? …their season record is now 11-29-5 which puts them solidly in 10th place out of 10 teams? 

FOOTNOTE: Todays ‘Readers Poll” question is: Do you feel that members of the Evansville Sports Corporation should have a long discussion before they decide to bring back the Great Lakes Valley Conference Basketball Tournament to the Ford Center?
