Took a few hours to collect my thoughts, stew, and reflect. It's been a wild three and a half seasons of watching Bobcat hoops and I won't ever forget the moments I spent within the confines of the Convo. As much as I want to say the refs screwed us out of a finals berth, we played our absolute hearts out tonight. EVERYONE! I loved watching this team fight through struggles to become the conference's hottest team at the end of the year. I pain for Miles and Jaylin though, missing out on getting one final ring. Will never forget leading Winning Team, Losing Team . Will never forget BVP's ankle breaker shot against Belmont, Hadaway and Clayton alley oops, and watching JP and squad upset the defending national champs in the NCAA tournament.

I'm blessed to have brought the O-Zone back in such a way that the current OU president has noticed and gave us support in return. I'm handing it off to a great bunch of younger guys who constantly are there an hour before tip. They are super passionate for the team and I have great faith O-Zone is in great hands moving forward.

Hope I get to give Jay / Miles a high five this May. Forever a Bobcat! Going to enjoy these last few months. Man, feels like I got something in my eyes ;)

Cellis- enjoy your last few weeks in Athens. Remember once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat. Start planning your Homecoming and other trips back to Ohio University. There is nothing better than “coming home.”

Cellis....as an an alum and die-hard fan....I appreciate everything you brought to this program. You raised awareness about Ohio hoops on campus and did everything you could to bring more people to the Convo.

Glad you enjoyed four tremendous years of Ohio hoops and got to enjoy the team make the NCAA tourney as a student. The excitement of that feeling doesn't fade as you get older....in fact...it gets stronger.

Look forward to seeing ya on here and continuing the conversation. Enjoy your last few months as a student in the best college town in America.

Thank you for your efforts to lead the student section. Game atmosphere is extremely important to our program. Hope the next guys are up for the challenge like you were.

From everything I've seen posted, it seems the new President it a lot more visible at athletic events then the A.D.

I only attended a few hoops games, but I know Julie Cromer was always on the sideline for football.
