WestConn Men's Basketball Team Drops 2021-2022 Hype Video

I love sports on all levels. I love everything that comes along with them, and I really love anything intended to excite the players and fans. For me, few things are as cool as a team hype video.

The hype video can be produced by someone associated with the team or a fan, it doesn't matter because when it's done well it adds an additional layer of anticipation to a season or specific game. I also love the City of Danbury, my home. So, when I saw that the WestConn Men's Basketball team dropped their 2021-2022 season hype video, I could not click in fast enough.

I don't mean offense when I say that but I wanted more, maybe a Morgan Freeman voiceover, a cameo from Chris Paul and a few carefully timed explosions. I'm kidding of course, it's a job well done by the folks at WestConn. The video was posted to Youtube on December 3, 2021 and according to the description, it was shot and edited by Keith Purdie and produced by WCSU Media Services

The question I have after watching this is, should Danbury people care more about their WestConn athletic teams? I don't get the sense that the community rallies around the basketball team or any of the other sports, and it' s a city with a lot of sports fans.

I guess a case can be made that we throw that support and energy behind the Danbury Hat Tricks hockey team and Danbury Westerners baseball team. For such a small city, we do have a pretty active sports community. There is also the possibility that I have this all wrong, and WestConn games are always well-attended. If that is the case, please everyone, accept my apologies.

Now I'll quit guessing and apologizing, and do my part to help. According to the team website, the Men's team has their next home game on Wednesday, December 29 at 3 pm against New Paltz at the O'Neill Center. Their next weekend home game is on Saturday Jan 8, when the Colonials tip-off against Keene State. Check their full schedule and learn more about tickets here. The Men's team is 6-3 this year.

The WestConn Women's team is home on Thursday, Dec 30 against Elms College and their next weekend, home tip-off is Friday Dec 31 against Farmingdale of SUNY POLY. Check their full-schedule here. The women's team is also 6-3 on the year.

P.S. I know that getting Morgan Freeman to do a voiceover for your hype video isn't realistic, but I am available and willing to do a V/O for the price of free but I insist on having script approval.

I watch hype videos a lot, below is one the better college football hype videos I've seen.

Danbury in Photos 2021

It's that time of year where media outlets inundate you with a braggard list of all the work they've done for the year. By December, everyone is pretty much out of ideas anyway. This is sort of like that. The following are photos I took of Danbury, CT for stories I wrote about the Hat City in 2021.

5 Underrated Christmas Movies Your Family Has Probably Never Seen Before

We all know that selecting a movie for a group of people is not easy and that is how you found yourself here, asking advice from an angry radio personality. On paper, I’m not fit to make decisions for myself, let alone an entire group of strangers. But, you are in the right place because to quote Dwight Schrute “I know everything about film, I’ve seen over 240 of them.”

You’ve found yourself at a common roadblock, one or more of your family members have decided they want to watch a movie they’ve never seen before. You suggested “Elf” and someone said, “not again”, you said we can watch “Home Alone” and someone groaned “nooooo.”

What Christmas movie can you watch that you’ve never seen before? These are 5 Underrated Christmas Movies Your Family Has Probably Never Seen.

If the Greater-Danbury Area Towns Were Christmas Movies

When this topic came up in our office, my ears perked right up. The question was simple “If Greater Danbury Towns Were Christmas movies, which would they be and why? It’s so simple and yet so complex, it made no sense and gave me a topic to argue with my friends. I was so excited about it, I wrote them down, and this is the list:

Danbury Area Residents Showoff Their Recent Moon Photos

I happened to be awake for the partial lunar eclipse on Friday morning (11/19/21), I'm always awake, and out of the house around 4 am for work but I nearly missed it. I knew about it the celestial event but I forgot when I woke up. Then, I was driving down Route 7 towards Brookfield, CT headed for the I-95 studio and the sight punched me in the face. I saw one of the most brilliant and vivid moon scenes in my life. What jumped out at me was how well I could see the shape of the moon. The eclipse itself transformed the moon from a circle into a sphere for me, it made me feel small and insignificant in the best way possible. While the lunar eclipse was a show worth seeing, it was not the only day the moon was working magic on anyone willing to look up, there has been a show in the sky for the past few weeks. I snapped a few photos of the moon's majesty last week (11/16/21), posted one and asked the Ethan and Lou Radio Show (I-95) listeners to share theirs, this is what they sent me.
