I think its fantastic and fair that the game is being held 4 hours and 28 minutes (courtesy of Google maps) from Utah State and 1 day and 1 hour (25 hours for non math folk) from MU. I mean the game is the game but the fans always add a nice touch of motivation. Well done NCAA, not to mention the 7 tough big ten teams you let walk in the back door of the brackets. Ha - I am done ranting.
Wow. Perfect rant. Nobody could have said it better about 3,000-4,000 times over the last two days (48 hours for you non-math folks).
Yup and now I have said it. So according to your numbers that would be 3,001 or 4,001. Carry the 2 divide by 3.
Ring out Ahoya!
Good Lord...who cares? Ask the Pittsburgh or Kentucky fans if they have sympathy for Marquette having to play relatively close to their opponents home state.
How soon we forget the advantage handed to us in Minneapolis in 2003.
Selective memory is crucial to being a sports fan. Secondly, Twin Cities have an airport where you dont have to pay an arm and a leg to get to. No knock on Boise, I bet it is a great city. Just a shame that it is so difficult to get there.
