With the official first day of practice arriving on Friday evening, college basketball season at Bucknell is just around the corner. The Bison men’s and women’s teams both open the 2007-08 campaign in four weeks – the women get started at St. Bonaventure on Nov. 9, while the men open at home against Albany on Nov. 10 – but between now and then there is plenty of activity for fans to get back in the swing of hoops.
Once again this year the highlight event is the Bison Mania pep rally, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 9 p.m. at Sojka Pavilion. The event is free and open to the public, with another fun and exciting agenda in the works. Bucknell’s pep band, cheerleaders and dance teams will all perform at Bison Mania, and the men’s and women’s teams will be introduced. There will be a number of fan and student-interactive contests, including a chance to make a shot for $10,000, and prizes will be awarded to the most spirited groups.

Someone had done a roaring trade in the familiar get-up of the national hero known as l’homme des Cavernes.
