Denver Pioneers

I Love Denver Pioneers Basketball!The University of Denver is my alma mater, so I always try to root for the Pioneers, no matter what sport season it might be. They have a great ice hockey team and a great lacrosse team, and it's always wonderful to cheer them on. However, I have to say that my favorite Pioneers team is their basketball team.
College basketball is such an exciting sport to watch. Even though the Pioneers basketball team isn't as well known as their ski team or their ice hockey team, I think that they have some really talented players. I am proud to say that both Vince Boryla and Byron Beck played basketball for the University of Denver! I feel confident that some day we'll be one of the top basketball teams in the NCAA.
I was lucky enough to watch when the Pioneers Men's Basketball team were the season champions at the Sun Belt Conference back in 2005. They played some truly incredible games. I think that the team looks great this year and I think that the Pioneers are going to go really far.
I love the Pioneers no matter what sport they're playing. I hope that they have a football team again some day as I'd love to be able to see what sort of team they'd put together. However, right now I am thrilled to be able to watch them play all the sports that they do, especially basketball. I am also happy to be able to support the school that did so much for me by buying all the Pioneers merchandise I can. Go Pioneers!
