I think that next year both Prairie View (BORING!) and Air Force are returning home games. I do agree that we need a major school besides UW to agree to a home series with us. The home game against UW is going to be sick...get ready for US Cellular to be a sea of red as the "Milwaukee Kohl Center". Is our contract with Valpo going to continue? Despite their off-year, typically that game is pretty healthy for our RPI and it's always a great contest. A top mid major program like Southern Illinois, Gonzaga, Wichita State, etc also make great home-home games. However, beyond Gonzaga the average UWM student and alumni have no clue who is worth watching. I would bet that most bandwagon students have no clue who the Salukis are, nor our history last season with them. So I guess that is the biggest problem with hosting a good mid major program is their name recognition. The best part about having a major school play us is that either a win or loss we win in the end with our RPI. Detroit is still feeling the positive side of taking an automatic loss at Cameron. Later, UWMfreak -Prairie View is hurting our RPI a ton...they have only won 1 game all year!

Great idea from Utah State... "During the football season, Olsen campaigned to get every fan in attendance to wear blue. Those who showed up to Romney Stadium in blue clothes were rewarded with Tootsie Rolls and temporary tattoos. Rewards for students wearing blue will be more enticing during basketball, Olsen said. "We will have prizes - anywhere from $50 to $100 prize giveaways - to just a random person who is sitting in the Utah State student section and wearing a blue shirt or jacket at the time we call their seat number," he said. "We're trying to get a sea of blue out there." Olsen said he is lining up donations to fund the prize giveaways. "I'd hate to be that person that didn't win the prize because they weren't wearing a blue shirt," he said." utahstatetoday.usu.edu/archives/November%202003/11-21-03/studentlife-11-21-03.cfm

The yellow shirts of the Maize Rage www.umich.edu/~bballfan/or the white of the "Izzone" www.izzone.com/Mid Major schools rarely have this much organization, so let's be the first to join the elite student sections! Later, UWMfreak

Oh.. you guys are so funny.. Well, since we cannot really say much about the way we are playing since we continue to win, we have to talk about something........at least you guys can complain about the way you are playing.
