USU Basketball

Ba says the final point that made her decide to go to USU was when she attended a basketball game. If you have ever been in the Spectrum, it is loud, and sometimes crosses over the line to inappropriate. This was the last home game that we went to as students and it was a hoot. Ry is holding up one of about 3,000 Jared Qualle masks that were printed and left in the student section to taunt the opposing team.

Everybody puts their hands up for a foul shot. These crazed fans have hand signals for every player, and little chants too. Don't feel bad for the other team though. We are students and are really good at studying. Some of the students publish the Refraction, which is a pamphlet about all the bad things the other team has done like arrests, citations, and anything about their personal life. To be honest, how they find out the information my not be entirely legal.
Usually storming the court rarely happens. It has to be a killer come back, beating BYU or Utah. In this case they were declared the outright WAC champions for the third year in a row.
The players get a chance to cut the net down, and do a little crowd surfing.

After having been to USU, it is wonderful to see this song called the Scottsman. The lyrics are super lame, but for some reason gets the whole crowd really excited. I still haven't figured it out. Enjoy.
