A word from old man Kasl

Attn: Mr. Eric "the Sports Guy"

As a parent, thanks for getting the RED OUT tonight. It was a great site to see. Thanks to the fans that took your word, RED OUT.

I feel that we lost our boys tonight, THEY BECAME MEN! I have never seen them play defense like that, ever. They proclaimed NOT IN OUR HOUSE!

Thanks for all that you do for our sports teams.

Thanks Rob,
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have the best job in the world. Tuesday was great fun, here's to the next game!

RED OUT JAN 29

Tuesday, January 29, you're invited to attend the Republic County vs Sacred Heart basketball games. Of course, this isn't just any game. On Jan. 5th, Sacred Heart did what only Beloit has done in the last two years... defeat both the girls and boys on the same night. For the girls, it began a slight tailspin that saw the Lady Buffs drop 5 in a row. For the guys, that game remains the only snag in an otherwise perfect season.

Show up early, and BE VERY LOUD!!! The pep band will be playing and we should get the gym rocking. Oh, and one other thing... WEAR RED!!!! Everyone, from the students, teachers, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles to, yes me and Tim, should be in red. A rocking crowd, in ALL RED, with the band and the students should be a very intimidating factor. Let's do our part Tuesday night! Go Buffs!!!
