TDY to Omaha for you for the weekend!! The orders are cut. You can pick them up later today.

BTW - do you know that BG, your official CVBOA recruiter worked a state semi last week.





PS - The fine print - your lovely young must go with.

Funny, I was actually out there last year the week before the Pitt/GB Super Bowl when the Midwest got hit with that deep freeze. <s>Drake</s>Creighton and UN-O didn't have any home games that week and I tried to attend a local HS game but got there just as the game was about to end.

Didn't know that. I'll have to send him a text. Us tall referees have to stick together. :)

Will have to see if they let a peasant venture down from the "cheap" seats.

Came by 106RR in the first session and must have missed you...no Wolfpack clothing that I could see but half the row was empty....hung around for a bit but moved on. You must have been out for snacks or a bio break.

Dang, sorry to have missed you. I did go out to the concourse during half and between games attempting to get my cell to work. I get very poor reception in the arena.
I will be at the games on Sat. Don't have the seat info yet.
I'll send you a PM with my cell number. Call or text me.
Got rather wet leaving the evening session!

That was NOT Oregon-like rain....that was more along the lines of what I remember from living the the south.

I got completely soaked on the way out tonight....and we had to park a long way out since we got there late today.

I've sent you a PM....or at least I tried to. You PM box is full. You can always get mine at http://www.reftown.com/rt_contacts.asp

Have Saturday tickets. Section 116 row E seats 13-15.
I will wear my glasses and a long-sleeve shirt that is a gray/light blue with Buckbean Brewery emblem on the chest and Native Nevadan on the back just below the collar. Please come by, text, call, whatever!
We took your advice and hit a BWW today for dinner and watched games then went to Edgefield for some evening partying and adult beverages. Great time!

PS for those who are curious about prices, we paid $350 for all three sessions in the lower bowl. $100, $100, and $150. That works out to $117 per session and face value was $81 per session. I'm okay with that as we got to select our seats. So rather than gamble with being assigned nosebleeds, we sat where we wanted and allowed the original ticket purchasers to make a small profit. I do feel for those who paid the NCAA or the Rose Garden full price ($243) to purchase upper deck tickets. That just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Turns out my seats are not a "bad" as I anticpated. They are in the upper deck but being the 2nd row and almost in line with center court, the view is not bad at all, much better than anticipated. It is as close to the court as a lot of seats on at the ends of the lower arena.

My seats are the same for today...334, B, 11-14. I'm wearing a short-sleeve shirt that is crimson/burgundy with a white ring around each shoulder....logo on the chest says OACA and has a whistle on it.
