UNI basketball game

Last night was UNI's first basketball game this season. It was really fun getting back in the McLeod center to see them play. Some good freshmen it looks like. They were really rotating people in and out, giving people a chance to get some playing time. Eric Coleman did not start, which surprised me. I think that may be the first time ever... There have been a lot of injuries on the team, and the way we started the game I was very concerned that it was going to be rough, but they really came together, and looked good towards the end of the game. I am really looking forward to this season. I also found out that wifi is available, so I may do some real time updates, depending on how dorky I feel like looking.

McLeod Center fire

There was apparently a fire in the McLeod center yesterday caused by a stray spark from welding. There was minimal damage, but it was a pain in the ass to put out and created a lot of smoke. UNI says that it should be back open next week already. They will be working with their insurance and Cardinal Construction (the company that built it, and probably started the fire) to get things back together. I could be wrong, but didn't UNI just finally settle with the insurance company after a year and a half over the Gilchrist fire from over a year and a half ago? Didn't they say their deductible was like 2 million dollars? Well, I am just glad that this did not happen in basketball season. Speaking of basketball season, Stephen Jones, freshman guard this year is transferring. This is probably a smart move for him considering our abundance of good guards, but I definitely enjoyed watching him play, and wish him the best of luck where ever he goes from here.
The NCAA tournament is in full swing, games resuming today, I can't say I am doing well, but then again, I never really expected to.
