3 Reasons You Should Go to Ball State's #ChirpChirp Social Media Night

Ball State University's Men's Basketball Team is hosting their second annual #ChirpChirp Social Media night in Worthen Arena on February 9th beginning at 7 p.m.  Here are the top 3 reasons you don’t want to miss out on this once in a year night of entertainment.

1. Free Prizes & More!

          If you’re like me and every other broke college student out there you live off of anything and everything free.  Look no further, #ChirpChirp Social Media night is giving us tons of opportunities to put in minimal effort and reap the rewards of free items!  How do you take advantage of this?  All you have to do is continue to do the same thing you’re doing all day anyways; use social media! 

          If you haven’t yet, go follow the Cardinals @BallStateSports on social media and use the #ChirpChirp to show your excitement for the big game before it’s too late.  Interacting with the Cardinals on social media using the hashtag automatically enters you into a drawing for many different awards from Ball State’s sponsors. 

          Not only do you have a chance to win various free items, each student can register now to get a FREE customized t-shirt with your twitter handle on the back!  All you have to do is send an email to bsusports@bsu.edu with your name, BSU ID number, shirt size, and social media handle you want on the back.  As you can see I had a blast at last year’s game (below), received my free shirt, and even got to meet former head football coach Pete Lembo! 

2. Great Indiana Basketball 

          If you haven’t realized yet…. Ball State can ball!  This year’s team is no joke they were event featured on Sportscenter’s Top 10 Plays last week for this crazy game winning shot! - Ball State's Crazy Game Winner

          The Cardinals currently have a record of 13-7 and are in second place in the MAC Conference.  Basketball has been worshiped as a sport in the state of Indiana for a long time and this Cardinal’s team deserves the same treatment.  In 49 other states it’s just basketball… This is Indiana.

3. Meet Charlie Cardinal! 

 

          There are some things that every Cardinal has to do during their time in Muncie, one of those is meeting the Cardinal himself; Charlie!  Getting a picture with Charlie is a must before graduation, some even say Ball State withholds your degree until they’ve verified that you have.  So don’t take a chance with your future degree, take this opportunity to cross a picture with Charlie off of your Ball State bucket list.

If none of these reasons appeal to you and you’re still undecided about coming to see this team kick some Ohio butt, be sure to follow @BallStateSports on social media for continual updates leading up to the big day.  Who knows, maybe there will be even more free stuff headed your way!  Whether you can make it to the game or not, you can still participate on social media from your home by using the #ChirpChirp!
