Its about that time of the year again! If you're confused about my excitement, then you should know that at Ball State, every year, we have Social Media Night. It may not have the most exciting name in the world, but what it is, is actually very cool. It takes place on February 9th, when our Ball State Cardinals will be facing Ohio in a MAC showdown in basketball. With our team currently in contention to win the division this year, winning this game will go a long way. Anyway, the big draw for Social Media Night, is that when you buy a ticket to the game, you automatically get a free shirt. Last year it was a short sleeved T-shirt, but this year it has been upgraded to a long sleeved shirt. But thats not all, the shirt will have your own personal twitter handle on it, that way, when you're walking around campus, you don't even have to talk to people to get them to follow you, they'll just know by looking at your shirt! You'll never have to leave your @ on a bill at the restaurant so that your waiter or waitress will hopefully follow you, your shirt will tell them everything they need to know! It's basically a one time payment for advertising your own brand, and who doesn't love that. On top of all that though, there will be several other events taking place in conjuncture with the game. The Prime Trust Prime Seat Contest, for example, will be giving away four of the best seats in Worthen Arena, complete with free food, and free parking. The Village Promenade will be hosting the twitter contest for the "Captains of the Game", where all you have to do is tweet your arrival to the game with the hashtag #ChirpChirp, and you could get the chance to win a free meal from Moe's! Also, during the game, you can tweet your seat, again using the hashtag #ChirpChirp, in order to win fan packs, which will have all sorts of nifty prizes in them. There will also be a vote on twitter to decide which song the pep band will be playing to begin the second half of the game, so if you have just gotta' hear "My Heart Will Go On", then this is your chance! The Cardinals twitter page will also be selecting a winner for Photo of the Game, all you have to do is post a selfie, again with #ChirpChirp, and your picture will be put up on the jumbotron for all to see, and at the end of the night, the winner will be announced. According to Ball State, there will be prizes to be won throughout the game from what appears to be half the business in Muncie. For me, the best award from that lot will be the concessions, because we all know how expensive a bag of popcorn is. But at any rate, the night promises to be a fun filled one, so come on out, and join the twitter party, and see the Cardinals get one game closer to a MAC Championship!
