Student vs. Faculty B-Ball Game!

So, what do we call it?

The Young vs. The Old?
The Inexperienced vs. The Wise?

Regardless, the students were invited to play in this awesome event. The blurb in the invitational e-mail which stated “No athletic ability required” was definitely noticed by yours truly; subsequently, I signed up to play. Not to worry, I’ve been practicing… sort of.

Upon signing up, I’ve looked forward to this game being played for fun. However, I’ve been informed by a classmate of mine whose boyfriend played in the game last year that both teams really go at it; it’s competitive, not fun. This really irks me.

Of course, no team wants to lose, so some competitiveness is obviously in order. But we are not being paid for this, we are not being graded on this, and come October 3, it will be a memory already somewhat faded. Play for the moment and play for fun, I say. I can only pray my teammates will feel the same…

So when does this event go down? Tomorrow night:

Thursday, October 2nd
7:00PM at the TRAC

Feel free to come out and cheer for us students, and pray that Nick “Paxson" Hanscom, the 5’5” 140lb. mass of hyperactivity from Seattle, drains just one “three” for the team.

For those who can’t make it, please, I beg you, please watch the Vice-Presidential debates and pay attention to what is said. Come November, vote with your brains and not your hearts. I don’t care who you vote for, just vote.

Thanks all!
