Basketball season begins this evening with the annual Gold-Blue Debut at 7:30 p.m. at the Coliseum and there will be a slam dunk contest and a 40-minute scrimmage. Jonathan Holton will play, but don’t be alarmed. He’s allowed to do that, much like he’s allowed to practice, and it means nothing about his status for the regular season.

There will be no bowling, though, and that’s a pity. Bowling is what aims this team in a direction that’s different than the dark one they traveled last season.

(P.S. F Double coming. Last night’s QB announcement/subterfuge made me revise and find a new home for today’s stories. Hence extra posts.)
