First 10,000 I'm sure. No way will they ever have 10,000 children at a game.

That's the only conclusion I've come up with, and that's the reason more than half have already made it to the trash can (mine has been spared for now).

Yeah, a little mini pump along with it would've been much appreciated. I was hoping to play a little ball at my desk today. Still a pretty sweet giveaway once I get the ball inflated.

I'm guessing they weren't inflated to avoid people throwing them in addition to the fact that it just saves space.  Not that you can't throw a deflated ball but it won't go as far.

MU definitely didn't want those inflated, especially after that amazing officiating last night (JOKING).

Probably the best two give a ways (back to back) in a long time. The statue of Al is great and the backboard looks great in my office.

Ball giveaways probably led to the one of the best games every played at the Bradley Center.

Enter January 1st, 2006, the BC has a crowd of 15,831 fans to witness Marquette's first Big East game against #2 UConn. The Anderson led UConn Huskies go on an early run 7-0 run with no end insight until a 6-inch diameter orange basketball comes flying out the the Marquette student section onto the playing court, stopping play, and most importantly another easy UConn basket.

After a warning is issued to the Marquette bench, the Golden Eagle pull up their bootstraps and come up with an epic win on the shoulders of one Steven Novak.

I went down at halftime and they still had boxes of them.The girl said they ordered 5,000 extra.I must have left with 6 of them.I'm sure they will show up at the Spirit shop for $10 or so.
