Title: I've commited myself to travelling to the final four
Post by: steve dave on March 26, 2010, 01:39:58 AM
michigancat, how far are you from there?  I'm 9.5 hour drive.  No starwood or hilton hotels within 15 miles of the arena left.  I've committed myself to going.   :surprised:

(ASSUMING WE BEAT BUTLER) If KSU is as close as you will ever be in your lifetime to a NC are you going to watch on TV?  Watch party?  Seems fun.  Can tell your kids about it I guess.  Tell the kids about where you were watching it on TV and high fiving other fringe fans?  Pass that on.  Sounds elite.

As long as I can track down tickets I'm definitely making the drive.  I doubt my order through the ticket office will come through so hopefully after the Butler game I'll be furiously trying to figure out the final 4 ticket situation.

So apparently it's an 18 hour drive.  But I'm sure as hell going to find a way.  No rough ridin' way I'm not going to be there. Will check on flights, but probably pretty expensive.  (Assuming good things on Saturday)

beeteedubs, will be traveling solo. counting on fellow emaws to let me know what hotels/ticket sections to get. Also, since I'm not super-preemie like Gottlieb, I'll be disrupting my otherwise Greenawalt-esque P90x routine. So, if I do frog jumps off your shoulders while eating grilled salmon omelets, just encourage me, TIA.

Also, can we get a pick-up game with Rusty? I'll be the old guy that wears the knee-brace.
