    OMG. Sweet. That's an awesome idea!

    As luck would have it, I'm going to be in town on that day, barring no airplane delays.

    Will Coach Les suit-up?

      Could we also promote a Stowell out for June 3rd and everyone change their avatar for the day?

            No need to 'pay your respects'...he isn't dead yet! He's got countless good years ahead of him!

                I can't wait to go, it'll give me something to do while I'm not working at Cat this summer. Is this alumni game between alum or alum and our 6 or so current players? BTW does the team ever have open practices the public can watch?

                          Got to say hi to Tom Les, Rick Malnati and of course JL-

                          ???We all want Bradley to win. If our methods and visions for that are different, then so be it. Don't ever attempt to tell me I am not a fan!???

                            How about some reports on how the game went for those who couldn't make it? Thanks.

                              Anthony Thompson is on campus as he was at the game. Zack is sporting a new Mohawk. And as Braveman stated, Danny Granger was at the game. That surely was a surprise, but good to see.

                              The red won 75 - 73. It was a fun game until the last 3 minutes and the competitive juices got going. Gilbert had two free throws to shoot to tie the game with three seconds left. He missed the first and, of course, missed the second on purpose, but white could not convert.

                              Braveman was the only other poster I recognized there.

                              I did take 8 photos which I added to my BU album on photobucket. Granger is the one in purple in the first photo.
