This has been such a team effort. If we win, I want to vote for the bat as the SOTG.

As my buddy and I were walking out of the BC, we came to the same conclusion.  Marquette Bats, Golden Bats, Warrior Bats, or any form of Bats for that matter.

Yep, it was bizarre.  Then became surreal when the lights were turned off and the cells phones went on...!

In ten years, I wonder how many people will say, "yep - I was at the Bat-Game".   ;)

It seems that the bat was Tweeting in between swoops on the court.

If I should stay,

So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way.

Because my ESPN3 feed was choppy, I never did see how they got rid of the bat.

Anyone?

MU Bat lurks in the dark corners waiting for his next victims who dare challenge our Warriors.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.

After the lights went off for a bit we did not see the bat again  . . . who knows - maybe he's sleeping in the rafters. . .

If there was ever an opportunity for a new nickname, this is it.

Picture the Bat Signal cast upon the carillon on Marquette Hall.

I do not know, but I suspect he is only a college basketball fan like me.

Heh.  ESPNU Sportscenter is using that bat story as the main tease at the top and bottom of the hour.  Ed Cooley is going to have to live down the multiple repeats of him using his assistant as a human shield.

The bat is prime time, baby!

Did the bat try to call a timeout before it entered the court?

I did dress as Batman once for a Marquette game right after we dumped Bluteaux as a mascot.  But I had nothing to do with this!

The Bat actually got a pretty significant article in the London Daily Mail:
