Disadvantage of Tower Hall

[mu-rara]

I gotta share a story I heard from my brother, who was an RA in Carpenter last year.  He told me that the basketball players who lived there were extremely friendly, especially Deonte Burton.  He also told me that occasionally the players would attend hall programs!  As a former RA myself (TAMU and I ruled the roost in OD for two years) I know how hard it is to get kids to come to hall programs, especially the "I'm too cool for this" type.  My brother told me that DB and the other players participated in a "Minute to Win It" type program and were some of the most engaged, competitive, and excited people there.  Apparently DB won a couple of medals!

When I was at MU, the players were all cloistered in Humphrey, where they never interacted with the student body.  Sure, the living arrangements in the dorms aren't as plush as in Humphrey, but I think it has been good for our players to get to interact with other students.  Wherever they end up, I hope it's not somewhere secluded from everyone else.

Michael Wilson and Terrell Schlundt were pretty regular guys on the floor at McCormick.  Haven't kept track of Wilson but Schlundt has a successful life outside of hoop and I'm sure living amongst us slugs didn't hurt.

You now get to be the recipient of all my displaced anger for the amount of times I was written up in that hall my freshman year

At UCLA, I've been told, the basketball playas have single rooms. Not the case during the summer where they roomed with a teammate in a different dorm. BTW, when you're 6' 9" there ain't alotta leg room on Southwest. Even seat guru.com ain't gonna help, hey?

Wait, "We have Bigs"

That probably should go towards me more than OD238, haha.

Wow as a former RA this made me feel amazing. I mean that's awesome. I would never dream in a hundred years of a player coming to one of my programs much less any other student I didn't bribe to come.

OD does get lonely even for RAs

Pretty sure the only Hall Program I attend was yours, you weren't my RA and we watched Major League.

It wasn't horrible.

Tower shouldn't be a disadvantage when recruiting Ellenson since I've heard that they're holding the top floor penthouse for him, just in case.  It's a really fun place.

I think I must have missed this story.  Maybe it happened while I was trying to wake up the sleeping naked couple after visitation hours.  That was awkward...
