Winter Break Basketball Games
Hey all,
I got to thinking the other day (Not always the best idea but I figured I may as well give it a shot). I know most everyone is looking forward to getting some time off for the holidays , but I wanted to throw out the idea of winter basketball games for those of us who will be on campus during Winter semester and/or live within a reasonable distance of campus. It’s easy to get the word out and get people hyped about supporting the basketball games during the fall and spring semesters when everyone is around and frequenting campus. Obviously winter home games will have less of an audience, but I thought it would be cool if people were willing to stick around or drive up to campus to help support our teams.

Come out and cheer your Retrievers on to victory this Winter!!!
I really enjoyed the end of last year’s mens basketball season because they were really doing something. There was a lot of hope, pride, and joy in the air. But we all know that was rare. They are pretty good this season too but there’s not a lot of entertainment in the home teams. American made the tournament last season so I guess if I was close, I’d like to come out for that game.
I was at the game last night, and it wasn’t bad. Kinda sucks when there are so few students in the Dawg Pound that it’s near impossible to get a good chant going on.
@anony–it’s students like us who create alot of that hope and pride. regardless of how our team is doing, we can still create the “school spirit” by cheering on our team
@Crusader–i know what you mean, and that’s why i wrote this, in hopes of getting a few more people up to cheer and support.
UM–BC LET’S GO BIG DOGS
UMBC Beats Nebraska 66-64!!!!! What a win for our program. Go Big Dawgs!!!
I know right, big win indeed. My heart was pumping through out the second half. I wished they didn’t loose that big lead they had. Hope this sparks up some enthusiasm to be better and for fans to come out more too. I want to try to come up there for the home games.
