Attending NCAA March Madness

[Wellmer]

Heading to Omaha Friday to see Florida vs. Virginia and then Mizzou vs. Norfolk St. I only get to attend the first session though so I won't get to see the other two games. St. Mary's vs. Purdue looks to be a good one and of course Kansas will be there too. Tickets were $84 I think and I am pretty sure they are in the nosebleed section. Lower level prices are crazy, $200 and up. I told somebody the other day, I went to Lincoln at the Devaney Sportscenter in 1988 when Kansas won it all that year with Danny Manning. It was great, NC St. with Valvano, Shackleford and Pitt had Jerome Lane and Charles Smith. I think Dan Marjale (sp?) played for Eastern Michigan and they were there too. Anyway, we sat 4 rows behind the bench and paid $36 for 6 games total. Those were the days.

Wow, that would be a great session for me to see. UVA and Mizzou each have a starter I officiated throughout HS and Norfolk St has players I officiate in a Pro-Am every summer.

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. DrakeCreighton 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.
