From the VCU athletics site...Shaka sizes up the VUU matchup.

Who is the kid wearing #23 in the video? Is that the kid from buckwheats HS? is he just a practice player but not on the roster?

I just started thinking about all the memories that stemmed from the weekend trip to Buffalo. Here's some of the highlights for sure.
-It was my first time I had met Mercury and what a way to meet him, but to drive 10 hours in the back seat with him while InsideDrive sat shotgun and a former Rodney the Ram was leading us behind the wheel. It was a long, rainy and foggy drive through the backroads of Pennsylvania (TYRONE) and New York. I remember honking and booing at ODU fans that made the trip as we passed them on the roads and recruiting toll booth attendants as honorary VCU fans for the weekend. "HOW YOU'S GUYS?!?!!!"
- Stayed at the Red Roof Inn (An Accor Hotel) where Pav and his crew was staying also.
- Heavy Snow falling on March 14th-18th the whole time we were there.
- Brennan's Irish Pub, and the cabbie that cussed out the lady from the hotel b/c she told him we were going downtown but we were really going only a mile away.
- Someone trying to order a Strawberry Daiquiri from an Irish Pub (No need to call anyone out).
- Every Waitress up in Buffalo having the first name of Renee.
-Molson Beer
- Buffalo Sabers Fans
- Walking back to the Hotel drunk a mile in the snow!

It might sound like a ton of fun, and it was, but this summary does it no justice and this was only Wednesday night! The first night of the best weekend of my life.

How about the liquored up "ram fans" who wanted to fight before being escorted out by HSBC Arena's finest?

And then they did get in a fight, and got their @sses beat. They messed with the wrong RAM FANS!

Haha, yes they did. I think my favorite memory was the toll attendant between Niagra falls and Canada offering to buy our "BEAT DUKE!" sign.

I was there for both games in Buffalo and it was a great, great experience. I'll always remember it.

As for the one trashed guy that got thrown out of the arena maybe even before the first official time out - well, he was an embarrassment. And he ended missing the great V over Duke. Hope the over-indulging was worth it
