Red Rally

On a Friday night, at the last minute, we decided to go to the NCSU Red Rally.  It is a sort of pep rally for the upcoming basketball seasons (men's & women's).  It was held at Reynolds Coliseum and hosted by a local radio host and Julius Hodge.  They had inflatable games, displays for different era's of the NCSU basketball program, face painting, and also team introductions, scrimmages, a dunk contest and even a dance contest.  We looked at all of the fun stuff until the "show" started.  Then we took our seats and were introduced to the women's team.  After that we got to see the men's team come in to fireworks and all kinds of cheering and applause.  We only made it through the dance contest, which was interesting.  No WAY would you have gotten me out there if I was a player, but anyway.  It was funny and embarrassing, but quality entertainment.  Here are some pics from the event.

Interesting fact: Did you know that Mr. & Ms. Wuf were married by the Demon Deacon on Feb 28, 1981?

I think this is the first time Thomas has gotten his face painted.  We let him sleep with it still on but cleaned it off the next day. He continued to ask, after looking in the mirror, where his "n-da-state" was.

Julius Hodge and some guy from the radio.  They even got out the old applause-o-meter.  See it?
