In from the UTEP game.
It was senior night in the RGC for Gjio Bain and Demar Dotson. Disappointing crowd, but I’m sure they are used to it right? It was a great night for the Golden Eagles, who knocked down 9 of 14 3-pointers and shot over 85% from the charity line en route to a 96-70 win over the Miners. They seem to be getting better and better, unfortunately for Dotson and Bain time has run its course. We wish you much success in the future, where ever that leads you! I can only wonder where the other 7,000 “fans” that were in attendance Saturday, were tonight. The student section shrunk back down to its regular size of 25!
The game was boring at times b/c of all the fouls called. That gave some fans, time to physically count the number of fans on the other side of the court from the “suites” to behind the basket…

231 per the text message I got from across the coliseum. Very shameful IMHO.
Larry Eustachy bought the ever-shrinking student secition pizza again, as he did last year. I wonder though, what LE would have done had the last home game had been Saturday against Memphis? Regardless, they seemed to enjoy it, some MUCH more than others…

Demar managed to snag one for himself before he headed up the bleachers, one final time…

Hopefully that is the last time a player has to run bleachers after playing a game in the Green House!

FAVRE hangin’ em up! I was looking forward to seeing him play one more time as the Packers visit the Saints in 08. Oh well, I feel privileged to have seen him play countless times on TV and once live (although against the Saints). He was something to watch, the most entertaining QB ever seen with these eyes! Enjoy retirement Brett, you have definitely earned it. And if you need something to keep you busy, we will gladly let you use your tractor to push some dirt around the land for our new indoor practice facility (hint, hint).
