Gliding into a VIP parking area that only HOF clout could get (if truth be told, a tip of the hat to Billy Mecca, famed QU sportscaster and just-a-teenie-weenie-bit-below-athletic director, for the seats and the parking pass), we were amped up to watch the Quinnipiac University Bobcats (second best college hoops team in CT; nod to UConn women Huskies) take on the Monmouth Hawks in the first round of the Northeast Conference tourney at the Bob Katz Center (they no longer play at the Kahn Dome). And we were still amped up after the parking guard told us to get the hell out of the VIP lot and go back into the semi-VIP lot. No problem, officer, but I wish you would give QU icon Gene Zurolo a little more respect. Inside, Steve (The Bod) Signor was, after serving a suspension for conduct unbecoming a 35-second clock operator, back at his appointed courtside station. His signature move, leaving the table immediately after an under 35-seconds to go possession change (both halftime and gametime), is now history. The place was electric, albeit low-voltage electric. WE WIN, despite being T'd up for some asshole students throwing little promotional basketballs on the court in a tied ballgame! For a split-second, I thought Gene was the culprit, but then I remembered that he could never throw that far. Two to go for the first NCAA bid! Sunday, 2PM at the Cathouse.
