The banners in Old Mariucci were taken down and entrusted to the former
captains for the summer, ONLY because of the move to the New Mariucci Arena.
Otherwise they are left up year round. The plans for the annual Alumni
Weekend is in full swing and there will be the usual Alumni game with a
special ceremony to raise the banners in the New Arena. I believe the
date is August 21. More details later.
 
Our schedule is *STILL* not ready, and couldn't even squeeze a tentative one
out of the secretary this week. I'll post it when I get a copy!!
