That’s dang near perfect. If we could draw that consistently, I’d be thrilled.
If the Fire Pit,Jerry’s Jokers and Johnathan Bennett continue to promote the home games, then it’s a big possibility.

Crowd made me remember the old days in the Schilling Center when it was SRO for some basketball games (I watched one whole game standing by the door, inside just far enough to see).

Great turn out tonight!!! The team had a real gut check. NF played very aggressive Defense and we had quite a challenge since our 3s were not happening. The crowd really made the game atmosphere so much better!! I hope it continues ....my voice is done. Good to see Jerry Jr there again and no matter how you feel about him Coach Freeze was there and he shook my hand as he passed along with everyone else in the row and he was taking lots of selfies with the students.

I hope it will remain like that and the boys stay focus. 5-0 in a new conference is great to obtain! UNA is on a warm streak, so this should not be brushed aside.
And they got the win last night on a halfcourt buzzer beater so theyll be flying high heading into the game

He was at the women's game.
But was he screeching? Apparently he was at the men's game as well, but no screech.

UNA is off to a great start as an ASUN member, but if they are smart, they won't be flying too high over a game where they needed a miracle to beat a team that is 4-15. It's easily their least impressive conference win. North Florida beat them by 30 2 weeks ago.

His screeches during the women's game came across the airwaves loud and clear.

I like McCracken and his general support as a superfan, though I am also not at all amused with his antics or anime fandomesque presence at games. The crowd drowned him out and I hope we can continue the great fan support on this awesome season.

Ballcoach was in attendance, but he was dining in the president's sky box with the other VIPs and pulling for Duke on the flat screen. :oldhag

Is being an airhead a prereq for the presidents suite or do they just have that in common?

I'm sure the flat screen was better company than the VIPs.
