I tell you what....there is nothing like a packed arena, gym, play ground or court during a basketball game! If that doesn't get your juices flowing you need a transplant! Well all that to say that our game at Coppin State last night was a great college basketball atmosphere! The place was packed, the band was jammin and the hecklers were in full force. As i was walking in the game, i didn't come over with the team, i was standing behind some fans who were ripping da bears up and saying that "yeah they beat us last year but we got them in the tournament"...yeah...i was right there but i didn't say anything and they didn't know who i was either. Funny huh? So needless to say I'm walking into the locker room grabbing my side from that body blow i got comin in. Jump ball baby! C'on...i hate the time before the game! That waitin around kills me...i wish we could walk into the arena and jump it up right off da muscle! That's a B more term ya'll chill wit the confused look! :) lol
It was a good game and we shot the blood out the ball in the first half. 51% from the field, 55% from the 3 pt line and 85% from the ft line! Then why were we only up 8? B.....cause we turned the ball over 10 times and that got lay ups on almost ever one of em. I was upset at half because...no disrespect intended but if you shoot the ball like that you should be participating in a game with a different score. We did manage to play well enough in the second half to win the last men's basketball game ever played at the Coppin Center. They will open a new arena next year and ironically we will be their first opponent on that court as well.
It was a good win for the program...we finished the regular season 13-3 and an overall record of 20-11. Back to back regular season champs, #1 seed and back to back 20 win seasons. Now gotta get right for the conference tournament...ima give them off today, refresh myself, attend some high school games, run some errands, workout and chill! Packed dayz always...but you gotta luv it baby...it's March Madness! Best time of the year! Hey...turn those lights out! :)

Boze congratulations on an awesome season! Just found your blog through an article I was reading today. You haven't changed a bit...still one funny dude! Best of luck in your game tonight...would love to catch up with you and T at the NCAA tournament! LT from Kansas
Congrads on winning the MEAC and going to the NCAA tourney Coach Bozeman! God is awesome! He brought you out of the storm and He'll bring you many great places if you continue to let Him lead your life. You have done remarkable things with these young men at MSU. Although your father is no longer here with you physically, his light in shining through you in all the things you bring to so many people. Stay blessed and continue to believe and trust Jesus. As Donnie McClurkin would sing "Stand".
Some of your players are punks, vandalizing property and trying to injure a player.

Punks!
HECK OF A YEAR, NOT A SURPRISING LOSS IN THE DANCE..ITS A SHAME ALI HAD TO BODY SLAM THAT KID LIKE THAT...I UNDERSTAND ABOUT EMOTIONS AND THE HEAT OF THE BATTLE BUT HE SHOULDVE SHOWN BETTER RESTRAINT BEING ON A NATIONAL STAGE....NOW WE HAVE THIS DUDE DENNIS AND THE RACIST IDIOTS ON HIS BLOG, CALLING THE ENTIRE TEAM PUNKS AND VANDALS...I WOULDNT CONSIDER RIPPING A PAPER SIGN DOWN AS VANDALISM. THAT NC STATE COACH YOW WASNT EVEN WARM IN THE GRAVE WHEN SOMEONE DEFACED HER STATUE, I WONDER WHO DID THAT???? SECONDLY HOW DO WE KNOW HE ISNT MAKING THAT UP??? AND FURTHER MORE EVEN IF HE SAW THEM DO IT AND HEARD THEM SAY WHAT HE IS ACCUSING THEM, WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OTHER THAN TO TARNISH THESE YOUNG MENS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE UNIVERSITYS NAME??? IT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE MORE THAN A BODY SLAM AND THE BLOG OF THIS DENNIS DUDE TO DISCREDIT THIS FINE INSTITUTION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1867. BUT ALL THE POSITIVE WORK THAT YOU AND THE GUYS HAVE DONE THIS SEASON WILL PROBABLY BE SUMMATED TO THIS ONE DUMB MOVE. NOW WE HAVE THESE FOLKS MAKING COMMENTS LIKE WHAT ELSE WOULD THEY BE DOING IF THEY WERENT PLAYING BBALL..OR WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT FROM BALTIMORE PLAYERS WHEN IN ACTUALITY ALI ISNT EVEN FROM BALTIMORE..FOLKS WONT TAKE THE TIME AND LOOK TO SEE HOW MANY OF THESE YOUNG MEN ARE ON THE HONOR ROLL MAJORING IN VIABLE MAJORS AND NOT BASKET WEAVING. ITS A SHAME THAT ONE ACTION FROM A SINGLE YOUNG MAN CAN WEIGH SO HEAVILY ON YOUR NAME AND THE UNIVERSITIES REPUTATION. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT ALI SAID HE WAS EMBARASSED BUT I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE BACKLASH THAT HAS COME AS A RESULT..YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE A BLACK MAN IN A MERICA AND A HBCU YOU HAVE LIVE BY ANOTHER CREED YOU HAVE TO BE BETTER AND SMARTER THAN OUR PROPONENTS, BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE DO IS SCRUTINIZED....WHEN THAT KID FROM DUKE BLANTANTLY ELBOWED HANSBOROUGH IN THE NOSE AND BROKE HIS NOSE BLOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE I DONT REMEMBER SUCH A BACK LAST..BUT THEN AGAIN THAT UNIVERSITY IS DUKE NOT MORGAN STATE.......AND FOR YOU COACH IF I HAVE HEARD YOUR STORY ONCE I HAVE HEARD IT A MILLION TIMES..WHEN WILL THEY LET THAT ISH REST THAT WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO....YOU SERVED MORE THAN YOUR TIME FOR SOMETHING THAT I AM CERTAIN THAT YOU WERENT THE FIRST AND YOU WERENT THE LAST TO DO. ONLY THEY CAUGHT YOU AND YOUR PUNISHMENT WAS MUCH MORE SEVERE THAN THE PUNISHMENT SOME OTHER COACH WOULDVE GOTTEN. BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY.....ANYWAY COACH GREAT YEAR I HOPE YOU COME BACK FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS AND LEAD US FURTHER INTO THE TOURNEY TO SHOW AMERICA REALLY WHO WE ARE AT MORGAN STATE..............
PUNKS I SAID!
