From hoop dreams to rugby schemes, here’s what's buzzing about the Bears this season!

The bears are roaring in excitement as the Morgan State men’s basketball team gears up for the 2024-25 season! Scheduled to be a slam dunk, the team's non-conference matchups promise to thrill fans with eight electrifying home games. Fans can look forward to thrilling rivalries and nail-biting action right in their backyard, as these games will set the tone for the team's journey through the season. Money-saving promotions and exciting game-day experiences are also anticipated, making it an event every basketball lover will want to experience!

But that's not all on the Bears' agenda!

With live entertainment and endless excitement surrounding the game, it’s set to be a day to remember. This is surely one event that fans won't want to miss—celebrate local culture, roots, and the thrill of collegiate sports all in one spectacular day!

And while basketball and college football are stealing the spotlight, the Bristol Bears Rugby team is making waves on a different front. They recently unveiled a matchday car-sharing service aimed at easing travel woes for fans, making it easier for everyone to join in the fun. By saving money on fuel and parking, this innovative initiative will help fans who might otherwise struggle to attend the games to get into the spirit of rugby, proving that the excitement isn’t limited to just one sport!

In an interesting twist, many fans might not know that bears, both in name and spirit, have long captivated audiences in sports, much like their furry counterparts in the wild. Whether it’s the ferociousness of the animals they represent or the way they rally their supporters, bears have become synonymous with a fierce love for the game. And speaking of furry friends, the legendary E-40—a huge advocate for Bay Area culture—is known for his music featuring remarkable insights and lively beats, making him the perfect headliner for the celebration!
