Yeah and it will be annoying as hell, because KU fans will drive up the ticket prices. I'd bet good $ we end up at the same location together, but on opposite brackets, like Omaha in '08
In defense of the pod system, gotta say it was really fun to watch sad KU fans trudge out of the Chesapeake Energy Center in OKC right before watching Jake and friends dispatch BYU in 2010.
This whole weekend birf'd so many good gE.com stories. :lol:

There needs to be a 30 for 30 (at least a short!) on gE and how it started and the good jokes and the good times.  For those of us that started EMAWing too late to get in on it.

A three part series on Peacock would be a huge hit

Des Moines would be cool imo

In defense of Des Moines, they do have this place, which almost makes it tolerable

Fantastic food! Des Moines has turned into quite a foodie spot.

For the psychos who gave up on K-State basketball, because they hired another guy after Frank, there’s a day off after the opening round of the NCAA tournament for rest and then they continue on the next day after that.

Great restaurants in Birmingham.  Multiple Beard award winners and their offspring.  Multiple downtown breweries close to arena.

You’d have to be a total stick in the mud provincial douche not to have fun there.

When a person leave’s a cesspool of a location of life, they hope for a finer destination to take in. It’s ok to admit none of these places are by the ocean and suck ass. I’m sure Birmingham has similar Wichita vibes you strive for.

Like I always say.  WackyTowny always claims he’s having fun while traveling. But inside he’s angst laden and nervous because the usuals from his favorite JOCO burb bar aren’t there and the people don’t always have that comforting Midwestern Germanic lilt.

I'm sure all those towns have stuff more interesting than generic decent breweries and restaurants (which literally any city in america has). Like off the top of my head I know Birmingham has a Civil Rights museum and Albany has some wild architecture.

In this case you’re just there for a couple of days and hopefully watching at least 2 Bball games.  Otherwise I agree.  Legacy Arena in BHAM is just a few blocks from that Museum and the Civil Rights trail. 

As an aside.  The new terminal at KCI is almost an exact clone of the design of BHAM’s airport (the BHAM city hall and KCMO city hall look almost identical as well).
