I also believed Julius Rajala could have easily been selected as the GLVC Player of the Week. He was outstanding in both games. One of the assistant coaches for Ashland told my wife and I after yesterday's game Rajala is a tremendous addition for USI. Can't wait until this weekend for the Classic!
We will be there. I'll most likely be the designated tuba player this weekend unless a student should miraculously show up to play.
Outstanding! I love to hear the USI fight song and see the cheerleaders run onto the court carrying the giant USI flag prior to the game! Thank you, schnautza! We will be there and appreciate your efforts!

You must be easy to please there, grandpa. You worry about having some half-effort corps of student musicians as part of a basketball game? Just give me some modern music on the speaker system and forget the band. The band at UIndy was not good when I was a student, rather hear some taped music piped in from the speakers. And the giant flag for USI gives you a thrill? You must be about 100 years old, gramps.

I think most fans enjoy the atmosphere of college basketball with a pep band and the enthusiasm it brings. Of course at UIndy there is no enthusiasm, as I saw this past weekend attending the games at Nicoson Hall! Maybe 100 UIndy fans at their games! lol!

Got to agree with you there. I hate the canned music thing. Always too loud and frankly it is usually a genre that is not appropriate for a general audience. Now if these games had 95% students there instead of the other way around I could understand. It's a collegiate event shouldn't the entertainment be done by students (or at least alumni?) Having vulgar music by 50 Cent (unless its his alma mater) seems irrelevant to the event.

The canned music in most of the gyms is vulgar and too loud, I agree with you. The pep bands bring much more to a college game.

I spoke with several of the athletic department staffers today and they confirmed the pep band will play this weekend. They are also doing a promotion to try and get the USI students to the games at the classic.

You must be an old man just like Eagle Pride to have this attitude. The kids like the modern music over the speakers, not a bunch of kids playing off key songs with no beat. They want to get in a rhythm in warmups, not fall asleep listening to music from 30 years ago.

Gravy, you just do not understand the concept of being at a college basketball game to enjoy the festivities. A pep band is part of the atmosphere of any good college basketball game. I enjoy the USI pep band, think they do a great job and most of the boosters I associate with love to hear the USI fight song before the game. What I need to consider is your situation at UIndy, no fans, no pep band, a silent Nicoson Hall. I saw it firsthand over the weekend. USI actually had more fans than UIndy both days! That says a great deal about UIndy's support! lol!
