There's always a general buzz around campus right before the start of winter sports -- I'd say our biggest season. This Friday, we had the opening night of men's hockey as well as Late Night (I call it Midnight out of habit) Madness to celebrate the beginning of basketball season. Here are a few pictures of the festivities!

My friends and I were lucky enough to get front row seats, though they weren't in the student section -- that's where all the fun is. There is usually uproar and chants and cheers and the like and it's really a lot of fun. Perhaps next game, we'll make it to the better section!

This is the scene of Midnight Madness. The classes are separated into sections.

Once the introduction to the night happens, the fun stuff begins -- namely all the dance crews and the cheerleaders do something, as well as BOP and BMSA. Before the dances, there are also competitions like the 3-point shootout, etc. Here are some shots:

Finally, the lights dim and the spotlight hits the court: the women's and men's basketball teams are introduced and the crowd goes wild. It really is an experience in itself!

That's all I have for now, but be sure to check back soon for pictures of the BRAND NEW TUTORING CENTER! Let me tell you, it's gorgeous and amazing!
