11/11/07: NCAA Basketball - Montana Grizzlies @ Gonzaga Bulldogs
McCarthey Athletic Center - Spokane, WA
This is one of probably only two Gonzaga basketball games I will be able to attend this season - getting tickets is virtually impossible for non-campus people unless you know people. Luckily a friend of mine is a staffer at GU so I got in for this game, the season opener against Montana. The game was pretty much a blowout, the highlight was Jeremy Pargo's thunder dunk over a couple of defenders!

After the game I went down to the southeast entrance where usually most of the players leave. I didn't have all that much time to wait, so I didn't get everyone and it seemed that some players took other exits. Regardless, I got the two players I wanted the most to sign: Jeremy Pargo and Austin Daye. Daye is a freshman that
NBADraft.net currently has going in the first round in 2009 and is the son of former NBA player Darren Daye. I had him sign a newspaper article from the Spokane paper (obviously newsprint doesn't sign well, so I had made a nice color copy of it at Kinko's and the signature came out real good). Darren was at today's game but I didnt have anything for him to sign. Overall not much to write home about with autographs besides the players I just mentioned, but it was a fun game to watch at the legendary Kennel.
