I hadn’t been to Midnight Madness for a few years and I was impressed with the program last night. They did a great job with the 70s theme (women’s players in 1970s outfits, men’s players in short shorts, VW bus for Izzo’s arrival, funny video about Izzo taking a trip across America to the 1979 [...]
