Well, I for one am excited about the b-ball season. I really think that we can do something special this year...as in get an automatic NCAA bid without even winning the Sun Belt. I don't think this will be an issue because we should win the conference anyway, but I think that we should be in the position, by the time the tourney comes around, to be pretty much a solid bet on a big dance bid.
Regarding the beer, I think that my podna CrazyCajun said it best: something is missing. I wasn't there, but the thought of the crew watching a ball game without a cold dome foam just sorta makes me scared and sad at the same time. Only 4 games till the dome return, though!
As for the dancer...since I live on the other side of the globe, I was unaware of this until I saw the pics posted from the homecoming game. This is definately a different direction! I guess as long as he's happy and he can dance, there shouldn't be a problem. But he, along with everyone else on that dance team, is going to have to have THICK skin because there will be some tough tough crowds that will not be able to pass up the obvious shots. I'm sure they already know this. The good news is that it's a lot easier to tell people to F-off when your team is dominating. As long as we play solid basketball, who cares if there's a little fella out there shakin it...I've seen some of the girls in the past 10 years, and he can't be much worse of a dancer or looker than them! (ok that was mean, I apologize...)
Bottom line is this: BIG football game tomorrow night, Beer will be back, and if we can get over 25 wins in basketball this season (which means we're playing great ball and go the the big dance) ... I just want to WIN!
ps
I miss that Cajun Chicken, too. His Micheal Jackson bit always killed me.
