BU Postgame Story

UAlbany can't make final shot against BU-TU

I was glad to see the parking situation remedied yesterday; so now I'll move on to something else - can we get better beer than Coors Light for the Varsity Club?

 

I would again like to suggest that the Varsity Club and its perks be better advertised. The t shirts, car decals, keychains, etc are a start, but I really think they should have a kiosk style table in the lobby and that membership should be advertised once a half by the PA announcer.

 

Again yesterday, I ran into a number of community people who are business and professional colleagues, who have no direct affiliation with the university, and who I know to be basketball fans, and who have been Siena fans over the years, since it was the best product in town. I have no intention of joining the debate over who should control the Pepsi, etc. I do believe however that last year for the same dates and games, our attendance would have been 30% to 40% lower and the increase, although modest is clearly the effect of having beaten Siena and thus gained some credibility.

Attendance may have been higher for the BU game if the weather forecast was not so dismal. When the rain started at 12:50, we settled for FOX radio. It sounded like a great game. We won from the floor, but lost from the foul line.

You tell'em Statefan. If they really cared about us they'd serve Guinness like the University of Florida recommends. Here's the PROOF. Of course if they don't change, the Coors Lights have been going down fine too. If anything, I thought the beer in the HOF room would make the crowd rowdier but if anything it's seemed sleepier the past two games.

 

I'm more curious about the intoducing the lineup, national anthem order change. Previously they had the anthem, intro the lineups and then everyone gets in a circle (the players, anyway) and get themselves psyched up. Now they do the intros first, then the psch thing, then the anthem. Why the change?

 

While we're at, I've missed "Purple Haze" this year.
