ODUs last Basketball game!

I went to an ODU men’s basketball game versus William and Mary, it was our last game. It was a fun game to watch. ODU did a very good job of trying to get the fans involved and participating. At any time out there was entertainment of some form either from the dynasty dancers, the cheerleaders, the band or even the crowd itself. During halftime the dance team performed, children got to compete for prizes, mini stuffed cows were parachuted from the rafters and the pep band played the whole way. It would seem that the only people who would be participating in physical activity at a basketball game would be the players. But on the contrary, cheerleaders are very active, as well as the dance team. The pep band even stood up and did some synchronized dancing and playing. During one of the time outs the song “Ice Cream and Cake” played, and every fan in the stand stood up and did the dance for a good minute. Sure it was only a minute but it was better than the fans just sitting and watching the whole time, they got a chance to get their blood flowing, to exercise those lazy legs and feel as though they were contributing some form of excitement and enthusiasm for their beloved monarchs. By the end of the game everyone was overjoyed and excited that ODU WON!!!!
