MONDAY MADNESS!!!

Last night, in the "caf" (our dining hall!) was the first annual MONDAY MADNESS!!! Our athletic department setup a portable goal in which our team and the men's team competed with the students in a shooting contest for a prize! (Don't worry, only the SU student got the prize!) Then, much to the delight of the student body, they lowered the goal for 3 male and 3 female students to compete in a dunk contest! We had some two handed slams, some attempts between the legs, we had an apple bite in mid-air, we even had one jump so high he hit his head and no the dunk did not go down! The winning dunk was jumping over three squatting friends for the slam!

It was an amazing night in which we all felt the support from our student body! Below are some video clips and pictures from the night! You will see both the men's and women's teams doing a little dancing along with Spike and Moses! For those that don't know, Spike is our Bulldog and Moses is the leader of our student booster club 'The Red Sea'!

The caf was full!!! The goal is in the back and no chandeliers were harmed during the night!

Both teams were introduced to a packed house!

Coach Morris got the crowd fired up! It's too bad I missed his "woof woof"!

Moses got the dancing going...

...but these were the moves of the night! Both the men's and women's team got out on the floor! It was an awesome night that was so much fun! Thanks to everyone who came out and to those that couldn't make it... we hope to see you in the Pete Hanna Center this season!!!

Put a RING on it!!!!

Well they are finally here and we all have them on our fingers!!! OUR RINGS!!!

The 2011-2012 Southern Conference Tournament Championship team was presented with their rings at this past weekends football game! It was a great event and our two seniors from last year were able to be with us which made it that much more special!!!!

As we move into a new year it was a great way of celebrating, for one final time, the special season that was 2011-2012!!!

My transition from high school to college was fairly easy, but for most people it would probably be a different story. I never got homesick, though I did see my parents every weekend for the first 5 weeks. I feel like, however, I was prepared for this transition mentally and I know that if I need my parents or family, they are only a phone call away. Although, with this new transition comes freedom and unless you know how handle this freedom responsibly you will fall hard. So come to college with a mindset of what you are and what you are not going to do.

The best part about the difference in high school and college probably has to be the school hours. You can choose when to take classes, instead of being forced to sit through 8 hours of class 5 days a week, however, the workload is definitely harder than all my years of high school, especially coming in as a freshman. This might differ depending on what your major is. My major is Exercise Science and I do not have to do a lot of papers, which I love, but as a freshman, I am required to take Cultural Perspective and Communication Arts which are both filled with papers and essays. However, I am not given more than I can handle. Other than working hard, the best advice I can give, is to pay attention in class no matter how boring the class might seem, because you may get a boring class!
