wow i wish i could be there...i want to see the blackout. that'd be cool to see. i'm a witt fan and that would be cool.

and i can't even listen or watch the game. im going down to the super bowl             tomorrow, leaving at 630....so i cant watch it. *sniff sniff* :'( and yes i would rather wait and watch the game and then go to the super bowl. but i've already paid for my ticket so ya. i am disappointed.


so seeing as this may be my last post before the game....let me go ahead and get some stuff out of the way


boooo - to all the bad calls that the refs may(or will) make

SIT DOWN - to moore as he is at mid court yelling at the refs

scoreboard, scorebord - to moores maniacs as they go crazy over a 2-pointer that                 brings wooster within 10 points with 1 minute left

MAYBE NEXT TIME - to the wooster fans as i exit the gym with a witt win 87 - 83

i'll miss sunday morning, waking up with out my oice from yelliing and having my hands be a little sore from all the clapping that i would do.

lets go tigers, beat them scots!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Pep Bands

Wooster has fielded a pep band for the last 3-4 years now, I believe.  Since DC occasionaly speaks of his time in the pep band, it obviously existed in earlier years, too.  However, I don't believe that had been one for a number of years, since I don't recall one when I went to Woo games as a young kid.  The Pep Band plays a live national anthem (I've never really liked recorded, loudspeaker versions) and is led by Ned Brooks, the assistant band director at Wooster and a retired band director from Triway High School in the area.  Since my move prior to this season, I have not seen Wooster at a home game this year, so I don't know how the actual participation for pep band has been this season, but I always enjoyed the study break when I played in it (I was even the fill-in director a few times) and I appreciate how a pep band can add a lot to the atmosphere of a game.  (Nothing worse than a late timeout at a key moment where the energy just dies away into silence...  :'( )

I'm glad that Witt has brought a pep band back.  Hope you're able to keep it going, tigerup07!

Yes, Wooster presently has a pep band.  At the Allegheny game, they were even all dressed alike, and offhand I'd say there's about 20 of them.  I always enjoyed being in the pep band in high school and college.  Our college pep band even traveled to some away games; I remember playing at B-W when there was a Berea-wide blackout and we had to improvise just to pass the time.  But I don't know if we were any good; probably not, since I was allowed to play.  As for the current incarnation of the Scot Pep Band...well...uhm...I appreciate the effort.   :P

I'll be at the JV game with Posting Up Hall of Famer "sac" if anyone wants to come over and say hello.  If all goes well, we'll be on the south (media table) side, in the top row of the lower section, dead in the middle.  I'll be dressed entirely in black... ;D

Sounds like a great final minute, anyway!  ;)

Hmmm.  Sounds like they could use my saxphone talents.   :)

On a more serious note, though, just as the overall attendance will be up tomorrow, the pep band will be more in force, too.  That should help their overall sound quality.

In defense of the pep band, they have to play in Timken Gym, which has the acoustics of an abattoir.  The PA announcer sounds like he should be teaching at Charlie Brown's school ("mwah mwah, mwah mwah mwah, mwah?")  Within 5 feet of the band, they may sound like the Glenn Miller Orchestra, but by the time it reaches me on the other side of the gym...well...let's just say I'm glad that scotsbrod has cleared up my confusion over what that noise they make is while everyone else is standing up and facing the flag.  :)

For some odd reason I don't believe students at Wittenberg are not attending the game because it would cost them 26 dollars.  I think the Financial Aid that Wittenberg offers would make up for the money spent to watch what I believe to be one of the biggest riveralies in college basketball.   I have been apart of the NCAC now for 8 years, and every year it comes down to Wooster/Wittenberg to determaine who will host the NCAC final 2 rounds.  I'm guessing the student body at Wittenberg just doesn't understand the importance of this game.  (Their loss.)

I'm not suppose to take the company laptop to Miami with me this weekend, but I think I'm going to do it to keep track of this Game.  Only bad news I'll down there with my boss... oh wait he is my Dad so I think i'll get away with it.

Hope it's a good one and deep down I hope Wittenberg will Host because if Earlham gets past the first round I'd be willing to make the trip to Springfield for the NCAC tourney, don't think i can make the trip to Wooster again!

Lots of funny stuff here.

Although the Witt athletic department did start a "Code Red" theme with selected home games, but it really hasn't caught on. There's just so much apathy among the students.

A feeling I've been trying to change my entire four years here...

Best of luck to both squads tomorrow.  I'll be in Springfield calling the Witt women's game, then picking up the video broadcast and/or tuning into Scott Leo and Rob Lehner, who will have Witt's call for the game.

I know that things can usually get a little tense during Witt-Woo weeks (especially after the game), so let's just say these things once, and hopefully they won't be brought up again/lead to an all-out war:

1) Officials will make bad calls against both teams.
2) Wooster and Wittenberg people will stoop to the unnecessary levels of loud, vulgar chants directed at the other fan section.  The other section will respond likewise.  Rinse and repeat.
3) Somebody will take a hard foul that will not be as bad as it looks, but, because of the intensity of the rivalry, will generally be overreacted to by the fouled player's fan base.

Hopefully things won't get as out of hand as they did last time.  To everybody heading to Wooster for the game, enjoy yourselves.  For everyone else, have a pleasant viewing/listening experience.

GO TIGERS!!!

Excellent post, Josh. +K to you.  Enjoy the women's game; with four teams within a half-game of one another in 2nd thru 5th places (Denison has all but clinched the title,) it's a great race over there this season.

Why is the game cancelled?

TigerFan_1973

I just logged on to say "Go Tigers!"

This should be a great game.  I will be watching on the Wooster video feed.

Ideally, I would watch the Wooster feed and listen to the Witt call on the Worldwide Wittenberg Radio Network, but I'm not enough of a hardware guy to even know if that is possible to send one stream to the video and one stream to the audio.

If there are any hardcore hardware folks out there, that might be a good term project to work on.  Call your advisor now!

I'm not much for predicting scores, but I anticipate another close one.
