Mad Ants lose to Maine

For the third time in a week, the Mad Ants lost to the Maine Red Claws, suffering a 113-111 loss on Thursday at Memorial Coliseum.Thursday

I guess I'm old school, which is why I'm not crazy about the Mad Ants scheduling a D-League game on Christmas Night.

The schedule just came out on Monday, and the Ants are going to play Springfield at Memorial Coliseum on Christmas Night.

Team president Jeff Potter admits it's a gamble to play on Christmas, but says if the game is popular in Sioux Falls, it could be popular in Fort Wayne.

I know, I know about the other thing he said, when he said that the TV games on Christmas are a big draw. But that's the Lakers and Celtics, not Fort Wayne against Springfield.

But that's just me. I remember when most stores were closed on Christmas, when Santa was a mystery, when trees were real - not plastic, and when shopping didn't start in October.
