Posted December 6, 200618 yr I had the opportunity to go to a Xavier game tonight. The seats were fantastic and the game was exciting. I tried out my new camera and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of some of the photos. The lens is not meant for indoor sports action and the f-stop only goes to f/3.5 at 18mm. I turned the iso up and started shooting.
December 6, 200618 yr Great pictures! I am a season ticket holder, but I was unable to make the game tonight. A friend was able to use the tickets, though. It was retro night, as you can tell by the logo of the running Musketeer on the uniforms.
December 6, 200618 yr What else is different on the current uniforms? As a side note, I saw Bill Cunningham there. For a little guy, he has a big mouth.
December 6, 200618 yr What else is different on the current uniforms? As a side note, I saw Bill Cunningham there. For a little guy, he has a big mouth. Instead of royal blue, navy blue is now used. When the running Musketeer logo was used in the late 80s, the shorts were much shorter than what the players wore. However, they decided to use the length that is currently used for tonight's game. I went to the Sean Miller show on Monday, and he commented that the current players would probably refuse to wear the shorter shorts. The current Musketeer logo was unveiled when I was a student. If I remember correctly, it was unveiled around 1995 or 1996. And yes, Cunningham does have a big mouth. ;)

December 7, 200618 yr ^^I had heard that it was an alternative mascot for children who are sometimes frightened by the Musketteer. Who cares though it is a frickin' blob....it should get NO love, and should furthermore be banished from any activities in public!!! PS...I think I like the retro unis better than the current ones :|

December 7, 200618 yr ^ I see you clicked on it while I was working on the site. That feature has always been there and was just disabled. It isn't something I am enabling at this time.
