Does the Concordia game count on our record?
I ask this question for two reasons. One, it's a nice departure from the apparent flavor of the week on here. Second, I want to take my 3 year old and 1 year old daughters to their first hoops game. I figured a game against supposed cupcake would be a good introduction for them.
Odds are the arena will not be filled to capacity, so there should be more room for the girls to roam in the aisle. Plus if I need to take them for a walk in the concourse, then I won't be too upset about missing a few minutes in the middle of a blowout.
But my competitive side only wants to see a game that will actually count towards their record. So is the Concordia game legit from that standpoint or should I pick another game, like against North Carolina Central?
Thanks!

Go have fun with your daughters. Who cares if it's going to count on the record?

Agreed. I say go watch the game against Harvard (and Coach Tommy Amaker) this Saturday, which should be both competitive and more fun than a blowout win over Concordia.

This is why God invented asterisks, in case anyone ever plays Concordia. Well, I better watch what I say in case we lose (apocolypse)

Oh man, that could be a long drive on I-94 that night. But in a way, I would be consoled knowing it didn't count. It just seems rare to have an exhibition game in the middle of December.

It's not an exhibition game, so it will count on the record. Concordia isn't D-1, though, so the game won't figure into Michigan's RPI.
You should consider taking your daughters to a women's basketball game--cheap tickets, free parking, sit wherever you want, improved chances of getting a free T-shirt. Downside: same PA announcer.

Another upside to going to a women's hoops game with your girls: Better chance to get that free pizza.
Downside: Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Pizzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa

I don't remember that when I was there during the dark ages (Sue Guevara era). Do they have to score a certain number or points?

No, he's just talking about the free pizza that the cheerleaders and dance team members hand out to random fans once a game.
At a women's game, a three-year-old jumping around in an aisle near the floor stands a good chance of snagging one of those free pizzas.
