There aren’t many beautiful brisk fall Friday nights where you’d catch us happily curled up on the couch with the remote, but this is one of them. It’s the First Official Day of Practice, and many schools across this great nation are having events to celebrate its arrival. OK, it’s not the Midnight Madness of old, but it’s Madness just the same, even if it happens a few hours early. The ESPN-U broadcast featuring several programs starts at 9:00 PM, and we’re going to have our first Boom Goes The Dynamite live blog of the season tonight, too. We’ll start at 8:45, and in addition to watching Lowell and Andy and the boys, we’ll be scouring our satellite listings for extra coverage. We’ll also be putting up photos from attendees from the various events, tweets from coaches/players/fans/whoever, any video we can scrounge, and whatever else we can find. We hope you’ll join us, and we look forward to your comments and tweets. Let’s have some fun, for our long non-college hoops national nightmare is now over.
