Portland Game

Posted: 11/4/2011 12:30:35 PM

The Portland Alumni group has secured a group of seats behind the Bobcats bench for the game. Right now we have 35 people who will be attending. We are also going to have a pre-game gathering at a local brew pub.

If anyone happens to be popping out to Portland for the game, we have until Friday, November 11 to reserve more seats. They are $15. Please send me a PM if you would like to join us.

The Chiles Center is a really nice place to watch basketball and I am very excited to see The Bobcats this year.

Is Jared Stohl still out there or did he graduate? Pretty sure we are not talking about my birthplace , Portland IN.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

Why couldn't we have this game scheduled for around this date next season? I'll actually be in Portland for our (work) convention then. Booooooooo...

We will have about 50 Portland-area alumni in attendance. I hope that the Cats continue their current level of play for this one.

My daughters (both born in Athens) are very excited for this game. They are bombarded with Duck and Beaver hype on a daily basis and have chosen their respective teams. However, I overheard this last night.

Six-year old - “Well, I do like the Ducks but I would NEVER cheer for them over the Bobcats.”
Nine-year old – “Of course, Keira… we were born Bobcats.”

Most importantly, they are both quick to correct anyone who assumes them to be Buckeyes…

A safe and happy holiday season to all.

Go Bobcats.

The Oregonian gives the Pilots a bit of coverage - http://www.oregonlive.com/pilots/. UP had been trying to capitalize on the NBA lockout. LaMarcus Aldridge organized the ‘Rip City Basketball Classic’ at the Chiles Center in early November (with some pretty big NBA names). The game was a sellout and they gave all attendees a free ticket to the next Pilot home game.

Now, those are two very intelligent young ladies. Kudos to their parents too.

JB,

Coach Groce in his post-game and players on Twitter commented on the strong showing of alumni. Well done. I'm thinking we're going to turn out well at the Nutter Center Saturday. The McKinley party alone should equal the number of Raider fans there.

The play by play commentator mentioned "cheering sounds" when the Cats were making the run and wondered aloud how there could be "Ohio U" fans in the stands.

Awesome work by the Portland OU contingent last night. You could hear them loud and proud throughout the game over the webcast, and as mentioned above, it didn't go unnoticed by Coach Groce or the players. Great stuff! Good win!

All of the alumni had a great time last night. We should have paid to bring an active Ozoner west to lead some cheers. We were a little disjointed. The coaches and team gave us nice waves and shouts as they left the court (many looks of "what in the heck are you all doing here")

D.J. Pretty much had his way with the UP defense... He is smooth. My 9 year old thinks he is the best player she's ever seen (she watched a lot of B. Hunter at 2 so this may be debatable).

My seats were next to several Pilot fans. They had many questions/comments, including:
-how it felt to be considered "the cradle of coaches" (I politely corrected that)
-They were shocked that we represented so well and they didn't remember ever having a non-rival with so many fans (Gonzaga is the game to see, I guess)
-Gary Trent and "ah, that's right"
-"Wow, I am going to keep my eyes on these guys for a couple of years"
-"Where is Athens?"

The Chiles Center is a tiny version of the Convo, it only made me wistful for home. It is nice to have so many Bobcats around.

Cheers,
J.B.
