The best part of last night was this announcement.

From what I'm being told, I will be hosting a dRunk contest just before the dunk contest.

Good News : I asked Brad Henz ( the guy who does the ballislife videos) to come out & film the dunk contest. He said he would make it ! Should be a sweet video

Here's my thoughts on tonight for those of you not able to attend. Nice crowd, larger than I thought would be there, made up mostly of students. Drum line, Cheerleaders and Dancers all did a nice job tonight. And now for the basketball.

Ladies first: Petersen said they've had 10 practices so far and you could see that they are in preseason form. Not that they played bad, but early on shooting was off. Shooting picked up as the scrimmage progressed and the ladies did a pretty good job of stepping into passing lanes on the defensive side. We are noticeable bigger than last year with 6 players at least 6ft tall. A couple of the ladies had some pretty good guns hanging out of their jersey. My summary for the ladies is that we are bigger, we crash the boards more than I remember last year, and Laura McCoy is a badass.

Men: Benford said they've had 5 practices so far. Hard to take anything from the scrimmage as the men didn't attempt to play any defense, but it was entertaining. We are big and athletic. Coleman is slightly taller than Mitchell, but he is a wider body. I can't think of anyone in the Sunbelt that will be able to move him out of the paint. Overlander has a good shooters stroke, but I'm not sure he will see the floor much this year because we are so deep. Patton has good ups and Holmen looked good as well. Jones and Williams both looked great tonight. Jones looked like he had a point to prove during the scrimmage and I swear Williams has even better ups than last year. Tony was Tony with several dunks and a couple of jumpers. My summary for the men is that we are big, athletic and fast. We will be a high flying team. If Coleman can play as a true five, we are a handful for anyone. I try to stay level headed about things but I'm excited about this team.

I don't know that it's necessary for a gameday scenario, but last night really needed more of a Humble Billy style in the PA booth.

Right or wrong, we fans needed "permission" to "get on your feet for the fight song" (especially since it wasn't played live) or a simply "get rowdy for your 2012-2013 hoops team!!"

The smoke-filled entrance was anti-climactic given the lack of enthusiasm from the announcer and fans. Shoot, we weren't confident enough to stand up for the best player to ever wear the jersey.

The AAC is the perfect example of what an event like last night can/should look like. Wish someone could've applied those principles to last night's plan.

Lesson learned for future events.

It would help if we could dim the lights, have some lazers going off, and some badass music playing, but unfortunately the Super Pit is unable to do those things. Hopefully, that will change.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
