UP-UW Game Day Thread

All right guys (and gals), it's time. Are you all in?

I think this game's going to be a test. As Kirk Mustain (guy who runs Bon Appetit) said to me last night, the first 10 minutes very well may tell us what our year will look like. Hopefully we look good on TV!

Tonight is also Dr. C memorial night. I heard rumors of purple wigs. As usual, you'll find me bangin' away behind the basket. No drum set for me tonight, though. I'll leave that in the hands of our experienced drummers.

Posting at 8:30 in the morning? Didn't go to bed last night?

I think this will be a very interesting game and I hope the Pilots keep it close.

Glad to see a tribute to Dr. C. tonight. I also want to see what the new shirts look like and play a little. I think the crowd will enjoy the new charts.

I'll be up at the top of 18a next to the tuba player. Just look for the ridiculously good-looking guy in PPT's avatar.

Went to bed at 1 - had a few out-of-towners over after the game and we got to...well...opening the bar.

Tonight should be fun. Best part of pep band sometimes is seeing what shirts they give us. No more Hawaiians!

Go kick some butt boys. Win this one for Dr. C.

I am going to try to make it to more Pilot basketball games this year, but won't be starting tonight. Staying at home to watch the epic RBNY vs. RSL match to see who gets into the MLS Cup against Columbus. But I'll be switching over to Comcast every now and then to see how we're doing...

[PurplePrideTrumpet]

You mean the Western Conference Final between RBNY and RSL?

I just read about the MLS playoff format last night. It could be more complicated, but just barely.

[KFTC]

Not to derail the thread to soccer (because, really I don't not think there's enough soccer talk here already! ), but I think the logistics for that decision was that New York is WEST of Switzerland, where I think the Red Bull ownership group is based.

[DaTruRochin]

Austria actually.... The headquarters of Red Bull is just outside Salzburg, where they also own the team Red Bull Salzburg (they have the same uniforms and everything only Salzburg on their crest instead of NY)

[KFTC]

oops. that's what i meant. i just get confused with that whole austria-switzerland thing...i mean, clearly so do they because they both had to host Euro 2008.

Aaaaaaaaanyway, back to the basketball thread. Excited to see what Campbell brings to the floor and what the "poster-boy for the strength and conditioning program" Jasonn Hannibal can do.

[PurpleGeezer]

oops. that's what i meant. i just get confused with that whole austria-switzerland thing...i mean, clearly so do they because they both had to host Euro 2008. .

yeah, and they both have Navies though they have no access to the sea.....

[DaTruRochin]

Haha no problem, I only know that because I know someone working at adidas with the soccer division AND I studied abroad in Salzburg...

but yeah Campbell vs Thomas should be very interesting. Honestly I think TJ has kind of floated under the radar with preseason analysis and whatnot, lets hope he can take advantage against the VERY publicized Thomas...

[KFTC]

yeah, i can't believe i did that.

toggling back and forth to the game now, but this MLS game is mighty exciting. Chances squandered by both teams, so I hope the basketball games lives up to what I've been watching. Anyone going to the chatbox for the game tonight?

[aleppiek]

Wow sorry I missed this one, nice win for the Pilots, hopefully a sign of things to come.

[Rob's Jacket]

YES!!!!!!!!!

[KFTC]

Great win! What a game to watch. The students had great reason to rush the floor.
