Midnight Madness 2008

I really think the basketball team needs a new slogan for this year.  Do they really think they can just throw the same "The Barons are Back" number at us for two years in a row?  I guess if one thinks about it the Barons do keep coming back year after year, but they used it last year and the first half of the season was kind of a wash.  The FUS Sports Marketing Department should sit down for five minutes and just think of a new mantra, or maybe make a new opening video with exiting content and actual highlights.  But on to thoughts of the "game."

For the first two minutes the Barons looked really good, but then I remembered who we were playing.  Before the game started I heard we were playing an actual team, but then I saw the competition warming up.  After about the first five to seven minutes the score was still pretty close and the images of the really good team evaporated.  Granted, the Barons ended up blowing out the makeshift team, I expected more.  But we get the opportunity to see what the Barons are made of on Wednesday November, 19 at 8:00.  Although they have their first test at Penn St. Beaver on Monday November, 17.  

A very warm welcome to our new starting point guard, Sam Titus.  Titus showed off his passing skills and if I remember correctly did not jack up any wild shots. 

I shed tears of joy when I saw Duke on the court, then tears of sorrow when he lost the jump ball.

Duke is listed at 6'5 and Kay at 6'1, very interesting.

Always great to see "The Headband."

Next Game--11/17/08 @Penn St. Beaver  

They lost an exhibition game to Community College of Beaver County 69-74, so maybe the Barons can sneak out a win.
