Subject: You must have missed it. At several points I heard different Xavier cheers including, "Muskie defense...Go! Go!"
In reply to: DAve 's message, "On TV you not could hear the Xavier fans, though I know they were yelling the whole game, until the last 2 minutes! Then all you could hear was the X-A-V-I-E-R chant. You made all of us who could not make it to Birmingam very proud. Of course Melaine and the girls had a little to do with it too!" on 10:08:16 03/25/01 Sun

>>Wow! I made the trip down to Birmingham for the game
>>today and I am so glad I did. I can't begin to tell
>>you what it was like, but I'll try.
>>
>>I'm not sure about total attendance, but there had to
>>of been at least 7,000 people there and easliy 6,300
>>of them were UT fans. They really tried to bully us
>>in every aspect of the game. Their band would play
>>over ours. Their fans would try to cheer over us once
>>we began a cheer. And if you watched the game, you
>>know that it was physical and many of the calls did
>>not go our way. But in the end, we didn't back down.
>>A big thank you goes out to the fans from Texas Tech
>>who helped cheer us on against UT. Their band even
>>joined ours in the fight song, calling out opposing
>>players who committed a foul and making the "X" with
>>their hands when our girls were at the line.
>>
>>Our fans were unreal. Screaming at the top of their
>>lungs until they were horse. Encouraging the girls
>>and each other. I can't tell you how many X fans I
>>high-fived that I didn't even know. Student support
>>was awesome, and considering the poor turnout of
>>Purdue fans, I anticipate we will have the "home"
>>floor advantage, if one exists.
>>
>>I thought Amy, Nicole and Reeta did an amazing job of
>>handling the defensive pressure from UTs guards and
>>breaking the press. We easliy could of had 3 times as
>>many turnovers (we only had 9) and UT could of walked
>>away with this one. This Xavier team is disciplined
>>and determined. They believe they can play and beat
>>anyone, and to be honest with you, after today's
>>performance, I feel we may be in St. Louis next week.
>>
>>I thought one of the classiest things that happened
>>today occurred at the end of the game. The loudest
>>ovation was for Melanie as she walked off the floor.
>>She is the Coach of the Year. I truly felt happy for
>>her today. She couldn't even hide the smile as she
>>walked off the floor. I am glad the Xavier community
>>is recognizing the AMAZING job she is doing with the
>>program.
>>
>>Today is a great day to be a Musketeer.
>>
>>I'm gonna be there on Monday screaming my head off and
>>getting the girls to St. Louie!!! Bring on the
>>Boilermakers!
