if youre planning on attending any of these, let me know. hate to say it, but akron has no cakewalk in that 1st round game. emich mailed in the end of the regular season but they are a dangerous 11 seed. none of the other double-digits seeds would give akron problems. i think emich does, however. like you, im very excited about this tourney

You are correct, Akron will come in tired and off arguably their two poorest games of the season. Romeo is like dead man walking right now, and Dru still sucks and is nursing a bad ankle to boot, If I can get EMU +8 or better its a play.

I can attend the thursday card, my wife will be teaching and I would like to get up for the early session for sure and possibly have dinner and a brew and return for the late games. No freebies this time but I can get you tickets in the Akron session for $28 per session. If you or anybody else for that matter would like to meet up and go just let me know no later than tomorrow AM. The Zips are going to call me sometime sunday for my order.

Looking forward to your MAC plays. Been making some nice coin off your POD's. Cashed in with you and gman today with Kent and the Akron total. Thanks!!!!! :mj14:

I'll be there for every game. A friend of mine is coming to Cleveland to go with me but won't be there for the first two games. If one of you want to use that ticket let me know. I will be in the club level, section C126. Of course, the way I've been picking games I will understand if you'd like to keep your distance. :sadwave:

BG, If I don't hear from G or anybody else this morning I am probably going to order a pair for the entire tournament. My wife will probably go with me to most of the games with the exception of Thursdays sessions. G may want to use your tickets, but regardless, let me know your seat location. I'll look forward to meeting you.

 

[BGFalcon]

I am in Section C126, Row 26, Seats 7-8. Let me know if anyone wants my extra ticket for the first session. I'll be there solo. After that session, I am meeting some people downtown until the next session at 7. You are welcome to come along and we can talk MAC hoops.

 

[spang]

I may take you up on that, three of my buddies here in Akron can not take off that early to see the Zips play. I am still awaiting word from G as to what his plans may be, but I would really enjoy watching the games with you guys, and I hope that it happens. There are many good cappers in this area that frequent this board, so perhaps more could come up as well.

I'll let you know as some of the details become more percipient and we can meet at a convenient location.

Thanks for the offer
