Pregame at Assembly Hall
Much like my experience the first time at Hinkle Fieldhouse, you can’t help but feel the history once you walk in to Assembly Hall. The place just oozes tradition out of every corner. It even oozes up from the floor.
Fred Glass has added some new “traditions” to the Assembly Hall landscape, including some props for the fans to wave behind the opponent’s basket during free throws. As the guy was making his rounds through our bleachers before the game, my cousin asked if she could have one.
She got what she wished for. They gave her a Big Head. Yes, she achieved her ultimate dream. It’s all downhill from here, Amanda.
There was one small problem. We had no idea who she was. Any guesses? Go ahead. Take a shot in the comments section. If no one gives the correct answer, I’ll share it later on in the comments.
We were quite jealous of the guy behind us. He got an Eric Gordon Big Head.
Couldn’t get the right angle on the picture. This was the only one that wasn’t completely washed out by the glare. Guess they’re shiny for a reason, huh?
Earlier, I lamented the fact that John Mellencamp wasn’t at the game. He wasn’t the only person who wasn’t in attendance. I know that Pat Graham wasn’t in his seats, either. How do I know? Because Jason and Kara had his seats. Apparently, Kara has connections and got them for Jason for Christmas. She sounds like a keeper, Jason! 🙂
Once the pregame ceremonies were over, it was time to get down to business.

By the way, what is the name of that song? And is there an arena in the country that doesn’t play it before a game? It seems like it’s everywhere!
