I wish they would show up for the team. I was standing in line last year behind a bunch of kids and most of their comments were something like "I hate basketball".

Heard Fetty Wap, but he just broke his leg in a motorcycle accident, so I doubt it'd be him.

Freebandz is the record label founded by the rapper Future. It's basically becoming a branding thing (merch, etc). If it's something else besides that then I dunno.

Almost all of them after a tweet or an Instagram end it with #freebandz.

Freebandz the way they are using it I believe is like saying get money....urban dictionary defines it as:

When you get money on the regular not depending on anybody or any situation either you hustle, work, or get them bands for free.

Rumor has it Jim Harrick will be making his return on a Harley. The original "Crazy Ram Mascot" will snowboard down the stairs of the Ryan Center and the entertainment will be provided by "The Amazing Christopher". Digger Phelps will be the featured speaker. #Best Madness ever....

Homecoming weekend seems to fall Oct. 16 to Oct. 18 this year, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the week after. In 2014 and 2013, I believe it was around Oct. 17. Since AFAIK they don't bring in a musical act or really try to sell a ton of tickets, I imagine there is a minimal amount of planning needed for it. (i.e. It's something they can do with a week or two of lead time, as opposed to having a hard date set because of a musical act.)

He was in until he got hurt in the accident. The other act is someone that will get the students/players/recruits excited.
