ChiTown Steve - I meant to PM you last week but the week got away from me.
Agree in that it would be nice to do that next year, especially if it is a weekend game.
I know Coach Mack gave his compliments on the Wintrust Arena and I wanted to echo that.
What a great venue for a basketball game.
Very similar in capacity to Cintas with what seemed to be more seats in the lower bowl.
And even the Demon Dogs were pretty darn tasty.
Now if DePaul could just somehow improve their men's basketball program, that would be a big plus for the BE PR.
They are on track to lose 20 games for the 6th straight year and 9 out of the last 11 years. The other 2 years they lost 19 games.
As X fans we complain when "our" team loses or even when they win.
But how fortunate are we as fans to root for an extremely successful program that has had sustained success for over 30 years.
Lastly, I too had a chance to meet Gary aka Mr Neutral at a couple of X games.
It was a pleasure and a honor.
Hope he is looking down and enjoying this season and maybe pull a few strings for the ball to bounce our way when needed.
