Welcome Back the Pack on Nov. 27!!!

[jayandbutton]

For all the Bronco fans who missed our valiant march through the UCLA, LMU and UCLA campuses, you won't have far to go on Monday, November 27, for the home opener at Kellogg Gym.

It's time to WELCOME BACK THE PACK!

There will be more free music, free food, prizes and giveaways than anytime in the history of Bronco basketball.

And the game will be against our arch rival, those hated Cal State-San Bernardino Coyotes.

Let's really make them howl on the Monday after Thanksgiving!

14 days until the home opener. Except for last season game at Pomona it is always a close game between the two teams. Some of the greatest game in Cal Poly Pomona history has been against Cal State San Bernardino. One of them was pack the Gym Night in 2005. IF you guys do not believe me almost two years since the event and it is still available to watch.

We got to start telling people about the game now. Tell your friends and fellow classmates about the game and maybe we can set a new attendance record.

yah, that was a classic game.

jb, how about some details on the game? and what kind of prizes and music and food?

[jayandbutton]

band to play before game around 6-7 pm.
free food at same time outside gym.
don't have details on prizes and stuff but will find out.

[PL28]

sounds good, i plan to be there.
Any word on who are the starting five for both teams?

I think the athletic dept could use some help on getting the word out.

They started promoting the game in the poly post. The Sports editor mention some of the prizes that are be given out. I guess some of the prizes not mention will be good because it will be a raffle for the prizes.

The game is still two weeks away but I am glad we are talking about the game already. I think we will have a rough idea the starting 5 for both team when they play their first game.

There is one way we can help the athletic department get the word out about the game is to start telling people in your classes and friends about the game.

[jayandbutton]

the sports marketing class is promoting the game.
here's what i know so far:

1. Live Band playing around 5 pm on the Union Plaza.
2. Free food over by the gym around 6 pm.
3. Lots of prizes including chances to win some pretty heavy stuff.

will post back when i know more but it sounds tasty.

billy at PG, luis at SG, dion at SF, larry at PF, and kaelen at C (if he is healthy)

what about san bern?

28,
the coyotes open their season tomorrow night at arizona state in tempe.

their listed starters:

point guard, marlon pierce, 6-3
shooting guard, prentice harris, 6-0
small forward, yoseph yaisrael, 6-6
power forward, greg williams, 6-7
center, ivan johnson, 6-8

that dude johnson was the center of the university of oregon team last year. for the ducks he averaged 7.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. he will be a monster inside against us.

let's see what the coyotes can do against the sun devils over at wells fargo arena.

[jayandbutton]

btw, i think that game is on the radio so will post if i find out where to listen.

[Broncochris]

does any body know or hear about Ivan Johnson considering CP
before signing with the coyotes? man oh man if we would of gotten him
i dont think we would lose more than 2-3 games. besides my passion for bronco basketball I am big fan of college hoops in genereal, johnson is
just a beast, defense and size.

[lakdod]

I read on the internet while at a JC before going to Oregon he was coached by one of the coaches in San Bernardino so that is why he chose them.

[jayandbutton]

coyotes are down sixteen at the half to arizona state.
sun devils picked for last in the pac ten.

given our better showing at USC i like our chances in the home opener.

[xiaoxue]

final score, Arizona State 69, CSUSB 52.

It was on the radio. Devils were blowing them out in second half until ASU cleared the bench and then Coyotes crept back in.

Good luck Broncos in Washington this weekend.

[jayandbutton]

correct, arizona state was up 35 points before the 'yotes came back against the sun devil scrubs. at least that made the final outcome respectable.

our former opponent UCLA last night had trouble with BYU early but ran away in the second half.

Do we play any other Division 1 team(s) in regular season? I checked the schedule, but not sure which schools are Div 1 or Div 2.

I got a couple of friends that are not from Cal Poly but wants to attend the home opener game next Monday. Can they get the visiting student discount? Anyone ideas?

Go Broncos!

[PL28]

Looks like most of the teams we play this year are Div 2..

[jayandbutton]

cube,
there are supposed to be tables set up all over campus.
get the flyer they are passing out. it gives you a free admission with every paid one. if you are a student you get in free. then if your two pals are from somewhere else it would be six bucks are all three of you to go to the game, or two bucks each.

and free concert and free food, too. not bad for six bucks.

[xiaoxue]

i saw the table today on the quad. they are selling raffle tickets for a dollar each. you can win a lot of sweet stuff, tickets and DVD players, etc., and you get a free energy drink that already costs more than a buck. good deal.
