Bonnies Go Dancing
As corny as it sounds, I wanted to go to a passionate school for college. I
would never admit it to my parents, but I wanted a place where the students
cared about where they went, and had pride in their school colors, no matter
how bad the sports teams, no matter how bad the weather, no matter how bad the
food or roads where. After nearly four years, I'm glad to say I'ev never made a
smarter decision than the one to attend St. Bonaventure.
I've been to many Bona baseball games, soccer games, men’s and women’s
basketball games. Many times, they break my heart, but along with most students
that I attend school with, we all keep coming back from the next one.
On Sunday, perhaps one of the best days for Bonaventure sports in the past 30
years, the Bonnies men’s and women’s teams gave this school, this community
something that it has been hungry for for 12 years, NCAA tournament Bids.
I was in Atlantic City when the guys one. I was almost in tears. The pride
displayed by all students was remarkable. I've never witnessed passion that
great for any place or team.
At seven o clock on Monday night, there was a selection show to announce
where the girls basketball team would play. The Rielly Center went nuts when
St. Bonaventure came on the screen.
We may not be Duke or UNC winning national titles, but the pride and
excitement may be greater. I've never been prouder to be a Bonnie at a great
school with great people. Go Bonaventure, go brown and white.
