Must have been the Bailbondsman's pre-game speech

[ATL MU Warrior]

Why would anyone call you a disk?  Are you like Big Blue?

And be honest, if it weren't for work, you wouldn't have been on any plane - stop trying to make it out like some big sacrifice!

Or should I say - "Chicos, the superfan, as long as DirecTV pays for the trip!"

Airfare from LA to LGA (probably 1st class cause that's how CBB rolls).....$1,600 (paid for by Direct TV)

Tickets to UCONN/MU Game (probably courtside cause that's how CBB rolls)....$400 (free from ESPN)

CBB coming on here claiming he's a great fan for making such an arduous journey to attend the game and then diminishing an MU victory...PRICELESS

How long till we see a post claiming there's an asterisk next to this victory in the eyes of the selection committee because Calhoun wasn't on the bench?

UConn really crapped themselves when they choked away that early 11-2 lead.

Obsessed much?  ATL....yup, out here for business in NYC.  The game was in Hartford, it costs money to get to Hartford last I checked....and I mean personal money, I don't play games with expense accounts.  I typically attend 2 away games a year, sometimes 3.  Some are totally on my dime, like the game I went to in November in Milwaukee and sometimes if I'm in the area for business, it works out well.  At the end of day, I'm 2,500 miles from home cheering on my alma mater. 

Brew...yes, UCONN crapped the bed...twice, that's how their fans felt.  Just as our fans felt that way when we did it in a number of games this year and with a double digit lead in this game.  All depends if you're pitching or catching.      If you're on the losing end, you feel like you crapped the bed.  If you're on the winning end, well it's all about how great the comeback was.  Isn't that how it works?

Great win for the Warriors.  Diminishing our victory?  Nope....great effort.  Typical of our season, we just hate being prosperous but we also hate being embarrassed.  That game was a microcosm of the season in my opinion.  Trailing early, going up big at the half, coming out in the 2nd half and scoring 4 points in 8 minutes...HERE WE GO AGAIN....then the comeback which we always do to cut it close, but this time we actually caught them.  That was the difference.  Great win. 

ATL, why don't we meet up for the NCAA Tournament.  I'm going on MY DIME and it won't be in First Class, that's not how I roll.  The tickets will be free, but I'm happy to buy you a few beers.

Easy. I believe he had a work meeting out there.

In NYC, that's correct.  Planning in life is key...it's not like I showed up in NYC and said, oh, MU plays only 2+ hours from here maybe I'll go to the game.  It would have been a lot easier to come out when they were playing in New Jersey at Seton Hall or Rutgers.  It's kind of a pain in the rear to get to Hartford when you're scrambling with meetings all day.

Glad I could represent you and others cheering hard for Marquette.  I was happy to do it, even for those that give some of us here grief 24/7 as if we don't love MU.  Pretty sad that you guys feel that way.

CBB...relax.  I'm not suggesting you are "playing games" with your expense accounts or that you are in any way doing anything you shouldn't.  I have been to many sporting events courtesy of ESPN/Turner Broadcasting/CBS, etc. through my job...it's a wonderful perk of working with those kinds of companies.  I'm glad you could make the game and I would try to do the same if the situation presented itself.  Just trying to have a little fun with you.

As far as the Final 4, I was lucky enough to go when it was in Atlanta a few years ago.  I have two little kids and one on the way so my travel these days is limited to what is required for my job...which is a fair amount. 

Enjoy it if you go.
