Tonight's Game Delayed Due to Winter Storm

Tonight's AU-Navy game in Annapolis has been postponed due to the winter storm. An official start time has yet to be announced, but the word is that it will be played tonight.

We'll keep you posted.

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:

AU vs. UMBC Game POSTPONED

From the UMBC Athletics website:

"12/19/2009

Today’s UMBC men’s basketball game at American University has been postponed due to heavy snow and hazardous travel conditions in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area. No make-up date has been scheduled at this time."

So...you can show up to Bender Arena today for the game if you want to, but...I wouldn't if I were you.

Have fun playing in the snow and be safe out there, AU Eagles fans.

Pro deo et patria and GO EAGLES!
