6 Days and Counting

The season is almost here!

After months of talking about who is going to play where, who we are going to play, how we are going to play, how someone might fit in and how the team will respond we are less than a week away from playing in an actual game! With referees, points, fans and an outcome. It's hard to believe the off-season has already flown by and the Monson Maniacs are so excited about the buzz on campus right now about the team. Everyone is super pumped for a great year.

Homecoming tips off on Saturday at 4:05 p.m. in the Walter Pyramid vs. Alaska-Anchorage. Not exactly the toughest opponent, but hopefully Monson has his boys ready to take care of business versus the upset minded Seawolves.

The Monson Maniacs have extensive plans in place for homecoming, kicking off with the Pep-Rally on Thursday night, a camp out following the Women's home opener on Friday night and homecoming tailgating leading up to the afternoon tip-off. For a complete schedule of the events head over to www.MonsonManiacs.com

Some great season previews have been published in the weeks leading up to the season. The District Weekly had a fantastic article and interview with Coach Monson which can be read HERE. CSULB's student magazine DIG also has an extensive chat with Monson about the upcoming season HERE.

The Daily-49er also had a recent article about the Monson Maniacs and our plans for homecoming this year, including the first ever camp out to be held before a basketball game. The article can be read HERE.

In other news, the 49ers took part in a closed door scrimmage with UNLV which the team lost by 5 or 6 points, but Coach Monson was satisfied with the effort. The full article can be read HERE.

It's an exciting time at The Beach, in one week's time we will know a lot more about our team and where we will be going from there. Check back here frequently for updates about Monson Maniacs happenings, the latest news and updates about the team, and any dirt we can dig up about our opponents.

Also be sure to follow the Monson Maniacs on Twitter @MonsonManiacs for the latest updates.
