RE: Put it all together tonight

[Gary Rowe]

One other factor to consider in evaluating the UD fans is that the Bearcats
coming to town is one of the, if not the biggest game of the year. When UD
plays in Cinn. it is not one of the biggest games for us. A fair comparison
of fans would be to see how we compare during the cross-town shootout or
when Marquette comes to town. UD has to feel like they never get any
attention with UC and Xavier 50 miles down the road and this is one year
they thought they had a real chance to beat the Cincy (unfortunately they
were right).

Let me jump in here on your above statement Andy.  For anyone who has never 
attended a basketball game at the UD Arena,  I can PROMISE you,  you have 
never seen 'crowd participation' like they have there.  For the ones that 
have been there,  you know what I'm talking about.........it is absolutely 
unbelievable.

During timeouts the music gets to going and the ENTIRE crowd is clapping and

stomping along in unison........and I mean EVERYONE is doing it.  It was 
really something to behold and something I won't soon forget.  There is no 
way that there is better fans than UD's,  there might be someones as 
good.....but not better.

This is directed at Brian and Joe Feeley<---don't you have something to do 
with the video board??  I'd love to see us do our pregame intros the way
they 
do there at UD and show all the regular season titles and conference 
championships and national titles......final fours etc. etc. going 'into'
the 
highlights.  It took a while for them to go through theirs,  so I'm sure
ours 
would be a little longer...lol...but hey!!! ;-)  Anyone else at the game 
agree with me about those crazy 'Flyer Faithful'???
