Big Double Header on Thursday - Ain't life grand?

On 2/10,  SJU takes on Ucan't in the undercard to be followed by the University of Albany Great Danes against the Boston University Terriers in the main event.

We have my 1a and 1b of favorite college basketball teams all one card.  It's the stuff that dreams are made for one diehard and a day I never even imagined I'd get to see in my lifetime.

Much to my chargrin, I've discovered that red clashes horribly with purple no matter how you try to wear it.

So I repeat...ain't life grand?

The Albany-BU game is such a bizarre one to have after our game.  They will be lucky to play that in front of 20 people haha.

They did this a few years I remember, Iona vs Manhattan after SJU/GTown

Albany and BU are just so random though.  They usually have at least one local team in these games.

Are you kidding me?  There will be a sea of purple out there.

I remember that.  You described it as the JV than varsity matchup. 

For my team to to lanquish for what seemed like forever in D3 ball.  To the two conference titles and Ncaa appearances including the valiant effort against Ucan't on the back of the incredible Jamar Wilson and now an appearance at the WMF arena?  It's beyond my wildest expectations and I'll be one very proud fan on Thursday who is expecting a sweep.

Even with Albany representing big time, it'll only be 10 to 12k at this one sadly.

I hope the Johnny fans are into it.  We're going to need it.

Are you kidding me?  There will be a sea of purple out there. 

The NYC version of the Big Purple Growl...

I'll have both shirts on Thursday for sure, I just gave Albany almost all my money for the last four years with my daughter graduating this May.

Lets go RED STORM,
Go Great Danes!

Have you gone to that?  How is it?

I'm thinking of a hat for one team and a shirt for the other.  But this purple and red is a very unique look to say the least. 

Lets go RED STORM,
Go Great Danes!

I hear ya.  That would make for quite an evening.

The Danes were blown out almost as badly as Ucan't was in the nightcap. 

Guess you can't have everything.
