Letter to "The Show"

[billhammett]

I had to register on your board just so I could tell you all how much guy's like me (mid 30's, ex-SDSU students) love what you do in Viejas. I have been coming to hoops games since Fish was hired and watched in true admiration as "The Show" got its humble start of a few dozen studs sitting behind the basket and getting people fired up.

In the last year you games have truly turned into one of the best in America.

The "I Believe" chant was the best chant I have EVER heard and I cannot get it out of my head. On the Aztecmesa.com board some people are hatin' because they said it was copied from Utah St...who gives a flying fuck?!?! I am a major sports nerd and have NEVER heard it before and I bet nobody else in Viejas that night had heard it. Plus, Utah State stole it from someone else, so I don't want to hear anyone bitch about it.

The only thing we need to do is get the music turned off so all that we here is the chant...I am sure you are working on that as we speak.

You guy's are the best!!

On a side note, what do you all do before home football games? I host a sick tailgate for the ex football players (and invited guests) inside the Aztec Village ($10 for all you can drink micro brew and Da Kines Hawaiin food)...we would love to have your energy.

Keep up the good work...everybody loves the environment you have created at Viejas.

Hey Bill. Thanks for the kind words and welcome to the board. We do what we can, but it sure helps to have winning teams on the Mesa. Nothing brings people to the games like victories.

Regarding your tailgates, a portion of us attended a few of them toward the end of last season (in fact, I believe you & Beau were the victorious beer pong team at one of them). We were planning on attending more this year, but 1) a number of the students couldn't afford the $20 cost, and 2) we weren't sure if we would be able to bring a beer pong table into your new tailgate area, since it is now more affiliated with the larger school tailgate. If you were able to provide the group access to the tailgate for $10/person and provide a space for the beer pong table, I think you would get a very positive response.

Would that be possible?

Will there be a Legacy tailgate for the bowl game?
