The Show Will Go On, Bison Burgers For Everyone!

According to the latest release from our friends at AU Athletics, it appears that tomorrow's schedule game versus the Bucknell Bison Burgers will continue as planned. Again, they're enticing the snowed-in student body to trek to Bender with free pizza, which seemed to work last time. Additionally, they showered the Blue Crew with compliments and praise ("you are indeed the best fans in all of the Patriot League"), which is always appreciated.

Of course, last time we decided to go ahead with a game during the Snowmageddon, the 2/3 of the officiating staff who made it to the game (including the one who had to park four blocks away and walk) seemed to take it out on us in a very un-unbiased way. So whether this is actually a good idea remains to be seen. This blogger says no, but this blogger does not hold the keys to Bender Arena. Hopefully this blogger will see you in the stands tomorrow, if you are lucky enough to live close enough to campus to safely make it to the game! Check back later for our preview of the game. Official announcement after the jump:

"Thursday, February 11 Men's Basketball game vs. Bucknell at 7pm in Bender Arena
