SCU Baseball Makes "Waves" in Men's Basketball Victory







Season Ticket Holders have wondered all year:  where are the Ruff Riders?  

I get it, the SCU Men's WCC season has been a fight for "middle earth" in league as the "Big 3" did battle to sort out good win-loss records vs good teams.  It's now all sorted out with the "alpha dogs" Gonzaga proving it's in a different league.

All that said, something happened this week at Leavey.   Something good.   Not only did the Broncos finish off two games for wins; one of which was against a touted Pepperdine team coming off a 5-2 league start and a BYU upset, the other, the emergence of a new force in our student rooting section:  The SCU Men's BASEBALL team.

You read this right - The Baseball team.

They "rocked" Leavey AND totally rattled our opponents.

In the minds of all the Season Ticket Holders, they annihilated the so-called Ruff Riders' reputation; not just by showing up in volumes, but yelling in a "volume" that shook up the other teams and set a new season decibel record!   Joined by the Bronco band they were a chorus to be reckoned with. 

So much so, that with the game in the balance and LMU shooting critical one and one free throws, they shouted down the LMU shooters who missed 3 shots that turned a nail biter into an easy finish. 

Awesome.  Check them out.


So, on behalf of our Season Ticket Holders and fans, I wanted to give both a "shout out" and a challenge.   A shout out to the Baseball team and Band and a challenge to the Ruff Riders.  Show up...Anyone can come to one big game, Gonzaga, but that doesn't cut it...

OK, you can blame the team, the schedule, and make all kinds of excuses - but the team SHOWS UP - and you don't do your part to support them.  

At least the team is making the effort...

So, to Coach Dan O'Brien and the team - you rock - keep the mojo going... And THANKS for the energy.  The Zags will feel and hear your presence on Feb 5th!
