was there. also attended the catbacker thing the 1st night at the australian. prob 30 people there, some big donors (CFO of Bain i think) met currie, wanted to call him out on weber but was with a friend who worked for him and didnt want to start anything. lame, sorry.
delaware was super dead, they didnt allow anyone in the upper deck so it was a free for all for seats. fwiw there was an R. Kelly show going on at the same time in a theatre under(?) MSG. was surprised at the michigan fan dominance till a mich friend said pretty much all mich alums either come from ny or end up there after going to mich. was annoyed they didnt sell any beer the whole tournament there. the arena itself is really up to date in the bowl and the concourses. lot of history everywhere. had almost zero "old-timey" feel to it though. seemed just like any other newer arena. which was kinda disapointing in a way.
michigan game we had good seats (1st row behind the folding chair section), some purple around us. michigan fans were yelling "baylor" and "brownback is your gov" political smack, wierd. the baylor stuff kinda hurt though. was quietly optimistic for the game. thought we just played nervous against delaware. boy was i wrong. spent the whole 2nd half yelling to bring back frank and get spradling off the floor which had to annoy the tuck with his family next to me. also called out rodney for "getting his" when the game didn't matter. came away totally disgusted and unenthusiastic for the rest of the season. Least we had a good time drinking around NY to take away from the awful game.
