Quite frankly, this is a lay-up decision - go to the hockey game. I am old school about First Night - I have basketball season tickets but have never gone to First Night. Now that First Night is combined with the Woman's celebration there is even less reason to go from a basketball perspective.
For the casual fan this activity is fine - bring the whole family and it's free. However, from a basketball perspective it's worthless and the spectacle of it can be annoying. Again, if you enjoy this type of thing - please go and have fun. I know Calhoun tolerated First Night as opposed to liking it - some of the players and recruits do seem to enjoy it. But, it's no longer even appropriately named - since practice has been going on since early this month.
As opposed to all the other topics you bring a new school perspective to?
In all seriousness, this might be the most chief post of all-time.
1. Bragging about not going to first night, as if that somehow validates you as a die-hard, no-nonsense hoops fan.
2. Belittling of the women's program.
3. "For the casual fan this activity is fine" - that's just so perfect and so chief that I can't do it justice with words.
4. Invoking Calhoun's name like you often do when you're looking for an authority figure to justify your views.
Maybe I'm in the minority but whether this is an act or your real personality, I find it awesome.
