We like to think of ourselves as the forgotten Burr. We had no office. The May 4 Burr took over the tiny cubicle we would have typically occupied in Taylor Hall. We had no budget. Our business manager told us we didn't even have enough money for office supplies. But here it is: the third Burr of the year, the one you've been waiting for.
    Oh sorry, we don't have any drag queens. No May 4, either. What we do have is an inside look at what a game day in the M.A.C.C. is really like. And we couldn't have picked a better game: Kent-Akron. One fan even referred to this as a "civil war."
    But for those of you who might not be basketball fans, we've got stuff for you, too. ranging from etiquette tips to engagement stories to Kent State trivia every good student should know.
    So here's your ticket.
    Enjoy the game.
