Week Two Blog

Merry Social Media Night Eve everyone! As I write this we are a mere 5 and a half hours away from Social Media Day! Admittedly its several more hours after that before we actually get to the game, but still, I'm gonna go ahead and call it reason for much excitement to be had.  If you're anything like me, you've been signed up for your t-shirt for a couple weeks now, and the anticipation is killing you. If all your friends are getting their shirts too, your whole squad is about to roll up in twitter @ style. Get to the game early, and get yourselves the best seats your tuition paid for, and get ready for one hell of a game because, even though the Ball State Men's Basketball Team doesn't exactly have the best track record with success, this year, they have been kicking some serious tail. We are currently tied for first at 6-4 in the Western Division of the Mid American Conference, and with a win tomorrow night, we come one step closer to our MAC Championship. Lets not play dumb, we all know BSU isn't good enough to compete for a national championship, not by a long shot. Nor is any other team in the MAC for that matter, but within the conference we stand a pretty good shot. But I digress, Social Media Night is tomorrow, and I truly couldn't be more excited for it. I mean, who doesn't love getting free stuff, when all you have to do to get it is tweet a couple things! The prize I'm looking forward to most are the in-game promos, which are the little contests that people in crowd get to come down onto the court for. Usually they do a simple one with couple where they figure out who is better at something by just asking them a handful of questions, but I think that I would want to try a half court shot for some cash! Now, I 100% admit that I am damn near the last person in the world you would want to play ball with, I'm very proficient at air balls. My free-throw percentage is lower than Shaq's and anybody who knows basketball knows that that man may be one of the worst free throw shooters of all time, so my complete lack of ability would put me right up there with him, something I am going to go ahead and take as a good thing. Anyway, we are very close to one of the biggest nights in Ball State basketball of the year, so let's all get ready, get out there tomorrow and support our boys! #ChirpChirp!
