I took the family to Haunted Hoops again this year. While the Fish Fry was sold out, the attendance at the scrimmage was way down, perhaps half of what it was in years' past. Either October 31st (Trick-or-Treat for non-cry-baby communities) gave reason for people to skip the scrimmage, or .. there's a lack of enthusiasm for this Top 20 team. -- It was a rough off-season.
Took a few pictures, shot some video for your viewing.
The best picture of the night is this, entitled "Mr. Incredible: Man of Steel"
I know this sounds wimpy, but Marquette needs to have a kid's event start earlier than 7:00. I didn't take my three small kids because of the start time. The last time we went they were a mess by the end.
I like event, however, and commend Marquette for holding it each year.
7pm is early enough .. truly, the event of the evening is the fish fry dinner. The scrimmage is like the after-party. We brought our 2 year old and 4 month old.
They did a better job this year with the kids .. last year, they brought them courtside for the "parade" and made them wait like 15 minutes. This year, they made them wait maybe 2 minutes.
We left after the parade .. got home by 8:15 or so. That's not too late.
