It's just about here

At last! At last! It's just around the corner.

Yes, do mark this on your calendar.

Put a neon flashing light sign on your roof.

No, it's not because the presidential campaign is coming to a close but that you will have the opportunity to see your 2008-2009 San Jose State men's basketball team in action in just over two weeks.

On Saturday October 25, at 1 p.m., in The Event Center, an intra-squad scrimmage will be taking place. A meal will also be provided -- more details to follow.

The opportunities to join the Dunk Club and the Three Point Club -- yes those are going to be re-introduced -- will also be on tap.

What a weekend it will be! First, the Spartan football team will down Boise State on Friday and then basketball season becomes a reality for the fans the very next day.

Additional details soon.
