Remember when there was a lot of 'why have a game at noon' questions? What dummy picked noon on a weekday?

I, of course, pointed out that the game couldn't be played tonight because of a scheduling conflict.

Then, of course, I suggested a 4:00 p.m. double header - hoops at 4 and FB at 7:30. (complete with a buffet in the Convo Center for those who attended the bball game).

Would that have worked? Probably.

However, EMU DID do something very, very smart - turn the game into an EDUCATION day.

What school, beside EMU, could have 20 buses of elementary school kids at a noon game?

MSU? Don't have 1,000 seats for the kids.

I thought this morning that we'd see 250 folks at the game.

I didn't think that EMU would take the 'scheduling conflict' and turn it into a big plus.

Kudos to whomever dreamt it up.

And 5th graders won't remember tomorrow that Brown shot over 50% behind the arc.

They were probably more interested in the t-shirts and pizza and being kids.

I believe that they did the same thing last year for the Northern Colorado game.

I think you're right, but wasn't it right before the holidays at a time when kids aren't taking field trips?
