Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 212162, member: 412"] Don't know how Tomcat missed it, but SSS had FIVE tubas yesterday. A possible new record. Whoever made the decision to dress the cheerleaders in neon green t-shirts deserves a "" in marketing. I realize the shirts were to support "Say Yes to Education," but why were they not ORANGE? We get a national audience on CBS.... and the cheerleaders for a team called "the Orange" are wearing neon green?!?!?!? I have seen some dumb "promotion" gimmicks in my life, but that was probably the dumbest. Oh, and there was something else that annoyed me. Why didn't the two senior walk-ons get in at the end of the game when the outcome was no longer in doubt. As I have posted many times, I love Nick Resavy, and I was yelling for him to get in yesterday. That young man has worked so hard as, first, a student manager and then as a walk-on -- and also as a "coach-in-training." And the way he has "adopted" Baye the past two years (mentoring him, making him comfortable at social events, taking him home for holidays so he doesnt have to stay alone on campus, etc) is one of my favorite stories about this year's team. It is fun to watch -- how little Nick has become a "big brother" to tall Baye. Enough nitpicking on my part ... It was, as I am sure all have said, a great game played in unbelievable weather, that made a very special team even more special. Brandon's re-emergence ... at exactly the right time .. was a wonderful, happy surprise Stu Jackson (head of basketball operations in NBA), the head of NBA Africa, some senior NBA International people and the man who runs the program to bring promising Senegalese players to the US were all at the game. I was briefly at a small post-game party with them. A very nice group. Baye, who was there for a while, was as relaxed as I have ever seen him. His smile is as engaging as Scoop's; I hope we see more of it on the court in the future. Now, it's off to the Hardwood Club dinner where more than 1000 fans will get one more chance to thank the team and wish them well as they go off to begin the post-season. I want this ride to continue to April 3. And I hope to be along for every step of it. [/QUOTE]
