Doc Sauers tribute

[statefan]

On Saturday's Hoop Games show, there was a segment freaturing Charlie Voelker in which he said they expected a good crowd for the Vermont game on January 28 because the students would be back and because they were honoring Doc Sauers at a halftime presentation which included a banner paying tribute to Doc's 702 wins. This is the first and only time I've heard this. I would have thought there'd be more publicity. Did I hear this right?

Yep, you heard it right and it's the first time I've heard of it too.

It will be a TV game so Voelker needs to find a way to get bodies in the seats

I think this is a good step. We need tradition. A banner would be nice. Maybe it is time to honor the 03-04 team as well. But that would be too smart...a ten year reunion for arguably the best UA squad (not talent...take it easy) ever. Team was 25-4 and 2 pts from the Final Four. Trust me, locals would come see Graber, Hotaling, Gary Murray, Fitzgerald, et. al get honored.
