Title: Dax's Final Four Trip . . .
Post by: sonofdaxjones on March 31, 2012, 10:50:04 AM
Athletic/Celebrity sightings (as in within 50 feet of, in most cases much less):

Celebrity:  Rode the elevator down to the lobby with Gene Simmons and Tommy Thayer, they were playing at the park next door. (we didn't go)  Gene told the Hispanic Housekeepers who got on with us to, "Calm down ladies, lets not get excited here"  (think of Gene saying it). 

Athletic:  Rode elevator down with Hubert Davis.

Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas walked by us. 

Walked right past Nolan Richardson at the airport. 

Was within 30 feet of Gameday broadcast:  Knight, Dickie V., Tom Izzo, Digger, John Anderson.

Paul Finebaum walked right past us in the lobby of the hotel.

Appreciated this in the midst of WeberGate.

Ratings.

Fanbases rated on overall ugliness (A 1 to 5  :sdeek: will be used with a 1  :sdeek: being the least ugly and a 5  :sdeek: being the most ugly):

Louisville:  :sdeek: 

Ohio State:   :sdeek: :sdeek:

ku:  :sdeek: :sdeek: :sdeek:  (saved by a handful of Johnson County types, who might as well have Johnson County stamped on their foreheads, and I should know, I grew up there, otherwise they would have had a 4  :sdeek: rating).

Kentucky:  :sdeek: :sdeek: :sdeek: :sdeek: :sdeek:

Most proud/ashamed of their colors (on a 1 to 5  :tsc: scale, with 1 being the most ashamed and 5 being the most proud):

Louisville:   :tsc: :tsc: :tsc: :tsc:

Kentucky:  :tsc: :tsc: :tsc: :tsc: :tsc:

ku:   :tsc: :tsc:  (while generally good, still way too many stickers on people otherwise not sporting a hint of ku colors/clothing)

Ohio State:   :tsc: :tsc: :tsc: :tsc:

Ohio St. fans are weird when traveling. Never wear anything OSU related except to the game. At least it was that way during the Fiesta Bowl. Everywhere you went two days before the game was purple, then all these OSU fans showed up for the game.

actually, kstate fans are weird for wearing purple all the time.

man, it must be some kind of poetic justice for ku to win it all when dax is in attendance.  let's hope it happens.

Is this Tommy Thayer dude from KISS?  Also, it just occured to me that my big bro was a big KISS fan when he was young and my little bro's were ICP fans (NOT juggalos though) when they were little.  eff, its been a really bad weekend.

Andy Dufresne is EMAW and generally amused by KU sticker fans
