I'm happy to see so many home games on Saturday night. It will make the winter seem a lot shorter.

I think the home games at Saturday night might be the conference throwing SBU a bone. The A-10 says here's a bunch of primetime Saturday night games, now fill your arena. It's as if Bonaventure has no excuse to have an empty gym this year.

[sidbona99]

Check that...unless the team stinks.

Two games I think students might be excited for.....Albany and Dayton on senior night.

sidbona99: You make good a good point. Still, I look forward to Saturday nights. It used to be "Play the games on Saturday afternoons to get the scores in the Sunday papers." That reasoning has been out the window for 20 years. Remember Bona basketball is the only game in town. The RC should be a warm place if the team plays it's heart out.

One of my first reactions to this is I'm pretty disappointed we play at Duquesne on a Wednesday night. I know for at least the past five years they've played that game on a Saturday night, which allowed me and my buddies to make that road trip a few times.

I'm not sure I agree with the notion that the conference has any reason to cater to Bona's. We've been the low man on the totem poll for a while, and as such, we've still drawn fairly well, given the circumstances, in comparison to our A-10 companions. I think a schedule front loaded with Saturday games is more of a coinscidence, but, nonetheless, I like the schedule.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Sol was off "recruiting" somewhere and not on the bench for the Dayton game........

I wonder how many of the "TBA" times are listed that way because of possible TV negotiations? If it is all of them, getting 5 games on TV would be an improvement. And, if so, the opponents listed for those games are better than in the past.

Nice to see Fordham in the Bronx as our final A-10 game. Great test, great atmosphere, heading into the A-10 Tourney as the #1 Seed, toying with an undermanned Fordham squad, depleted due to drug and weapons arrests over the previous 3 months. Playing largely a substitute squad, the Bonnies enjoy a doble-digit victory as ecstatic SBU Alumni Chairman Jim Flanagan is carried around the storied Rose Hill gym ... nude.

I believe his first name is Joe. But far more disturbing than you misnaming him is the fact that you have somehow, someway developed in your mind a troubling scenario involving Joe and his missing clothes. Seek help, my friend.
