If you can’t make it down tomorrow (I know I won’t) at least tune in:
VMI Fans: Are you ready? Lets go! Rah Virginia Mil, Rah, Rah, Rah,……
That’s right – get ready to do lots of Old Yells as the VMI Basketball Team prepares to take on a Winthrop University team that is undefeated in Conference play this year and ready to be ranked in the top 25 in the Nation.
Winthrop (the #1 seed), like both High Point (#2 seed) and Liberty (#3 seed) has beaten VMI (#6 seed) twice this season! Our Keydets are playing with lots of confidence and are not ready for this magical season to end.
9 buses of 400 cadets plus the pep band will be on hand tomorrow (Saturday) in Rock Hill SC when the Keydets tip it off at 2 pm in their bid to win their first Conference Championship since the 1976-77 season. The game will be televised Nationally on ESPN – yes the ESPN on your TV set at 2 pm!
Tickets are available, first come first serve, by calling the VMI ticket office
(1.540.464.7266) after that tickets must be purchased at the Winthrop Coliseum.
GO BIG RED!
oh man. Winthrop. I know it’s supposed to be “never say die” and all that, but sheesh. Those dudes are 27-4.
Still, High Point was 22-10, and we knocked them down by 10 last night.
I went nuts in the squadron when I found out we had beat them. I’ll be watching. Go Keydet!
The High Point game was something else. I think we stand a pretty good shot. Don’t so pessimistic.
Wow, such terrible timing. Lightning’s out of the country for a couple of weeks and here Winthrop is a whole 30 minutes from my house!
Anyway, Go Keydets!
The one VMI guy I knew at work retired this week, and I am surrounded by Michigan grads/fans. I do what I can, however. I will be watching today…
