Title: live from anaheim
Post by: ChicosBailBonds on March 20, 2008, 12:44:31 PM
We're in the arena.

Our boys are wearing blue. Both shooting right now in warmups.

Good send off from the hotel, about a crowd of 150 or so plus the band, cheerleaders.

Cords is here.  Jim Harbaugh is here.

Team is loose

Lots of blue outside the arena but plenty of ucla and other fans saying go Marquette.

Dj and lazar hitting their shots.  Barro as well.  Trevor has missed a bunch

Had a nice chat with Joanie prior to leaving....same with Cords.  Both very nice people.

Funny story, my wife bumped into Joanie at the mall yesterday but of course had no idea who Joanie was.  So last night I get home and she says "I bumped into this really nice Marquette fan at the mall today".  Well today she realizes it was Joanie and my wife and her were joking around about pretty good this morning at the rally.

Small world

25 minutes from tip off and there is NO ONE here right now.  Building is very empty.  Hope that changes.  Lots of ucla fans at work yesterday were trying to dump session 1 tix so they wouldn't miss work

Mu fans out in gold....mostly.

So far, kentucky has more fans here which isn't surprising.  Wildcat nation is strong

Mu band with the national anthem.  Nice job.  Both teams shake hands, crean and BG shake and have a few nice words.

10 minutes to tip off and arena still sparse.

Kentucky fight song now....

 game time. Still pretty empty. I echo Chico's sentiments regarding the sendoff. Harbaughs speech was great. I should be able to post it tonight or tomorrow. Man, where is everybody? Time to get a seat upgrade.

Title: Re: live from anaheim
Post by: mviale on March 20, 2008, 03:29:21 PM
did he hit it from a wheel chair - is he still hurt?
Title: Re: live from anaheim
Post by: ChicosBailBonds on March 20, 2008, 06:44:57 PM
He tweaked it on the wet floor...a lot of condensation from the ice under the floor.  He was limping noticeably in the second half when he came out.  Obviously he played through it but he was hurting
