This is OUR house

We just got back from Albany an hour ago, and as I type this blog entry I am reminded that I have to attend class at 9am tomorrow (not looking forward to it). Today's game against U Albany was a pretty nice one, but once again UMBC held their ground. I'm too tired tonight to go into much detail, but suffice it to say that we left our impression on U Albany. By the end of the game several angry spectators were throwing trash at the trumpet section. We would like to think that it was because of their frustration at losing the game, but it was most likely due to the fact that we were chanting "This is our house!" during the last 11 seconds of the game. Whatever it was, we surely upset the U Albany fans and showed them who was boss.
Although some of the fans were upset, we did get a couple of positive remarks from some of the more "mature" Albany fans. All in all, I think the UMBC Down and Dirty Dawg Band made a good impression on the crowd at the SEFCU arena, and we're looking forward to the championship game against Binghamton. Next weekend will be very busy the band as we plan to travel between Hartford and Binghamton to support both the men's and women's teams as they compete for a spot at the Big Dance.
GO BIG DAWGS! THIS IS OUR HOUSE!
