'76 Classic in Anaheim.

Now called the Direct TV Classic.  Backyard beers are on the agenda.

Come on down, there's been quite a few Scoopers that have been to the house over the years.  I'm only 10 minutes from the arena.

And yes, last year we took over the sponsorship as the Directv Classic.

It's a fun tournament with some decent squads.

Can we use your laptop to post to Scoop while we're there, too?

Thanks for the info. I want to go to one of these eventually, at least before our nickname gets changed to The Blue or something.

Benny, you more than anyone except for one person I want to come on by.  You can meet my wife and she can talk to you about the last few Scoopers that were here, including HoopLoop.  I would enjoy seeing that conversation with the two of you.  If only PRN can join.       I've never met you, but I have no problem letting a MU stranger over for a beer.  Done it many times over the years and will continue to do it, even if some people find that weird...I find it being friendly to MU brethren.

You are such a jerk.

That looks a fun tourney to go to next year!
Not the Maui(esque) field, but it'll be a winnable tournament in sunny Anaheim.

Who else is in next years field?

[Mr. Nielsen]

That's the 2012 field.

Weather is normally pretty nice this time of year....it rained for the first time this past Saturday during the UCLA - USC game since 1961 just to give you an idea.  Come on out, hit the beaches, go to Disneyland or California Adventure, check out some games, hit up Universal Studios or whatever other touristy stuff.  That's what fans of most teams that come to this tournament do, sans those that are from California.

Typically there are a few California teams and no exception this year.  Last year we had Villanova and SLU come in which was fun.  DePaul, Minnesota, WVU, Oklahoma, Providence, UCLA have all been to the tournament.  It's a good time.  Wish it was at the Pond (now Honda Center), but instead it is at the much smaller Anaheim Convention Center.

I hope the rumors in this thread that MU will play out here are true.  Have not seen any of the 2013 field announced.

You got Coke Zero at the crib? Maybe I'll swing by!

Maui was just too far for me.. California I could do.

A flight to Hawaii was a bit too far for our 4 year old, so we're planning on Cali next year.
