"We're thriled to be able to host the Globetrotters once again," said Mark Wilson, TTU Director of Athletics. "It's a spectacular and enjoyable show for everyone, young and old. This is a great opportunity for families who have never had the chance to see the Globetrotters in person, to come out and see them in this region.
"It's also the kind of show that people love to come back and
see again, even if they've seen the Globetrotters before," Wilson
said. "It's not only fun for the young fans who have never seen the
show, but also for parents and grandparents who might be seeing the
Globetrotters for a second or third time. The players change over
the years, but the entertainment and skills are still fantastic."
Throughout the years, the Globetrotters have featured numerous
legendary stars, including Curly Neal, Geese Ausbie, Marques
Hauyes, Meadowlark Lemon, Connie Hawkins, Showboat Hall and Reece
Tatum.
The show at Tech will also feature Globie, the popular mascot of
the world's most famous basketball team. Dancing, cheering, meeting
fans and giving high-fives, Globie is a symbol of worldwide
goodwill and family fun and loves making people smile.
Globie always dreamed of being a mascot. In fact, he went to mascot college and studied with such greats as the Phillie Phanatic, the Famous Chicken and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla.
After graduating at the top of his class, Globie became the mascot of the Harlem Globetrotters, the perfect team to fit his style of fun, energy and making kids laugh. He has been entertaining fans around the world ever since.
