I don't get why this thread has slowed down.   It is one of my favorite non bb threads to check in on!

For a full sell out game, there was two concessions stands open on the East side upper level.

On the west side the Klements and Gyro stand were open.

There is no craft beer offering in the upper level anymore.

The panarama club being the only option for a beer other than piss water, was at capacity at the stroke of halftime. One in, one out from the stairs.

The concourses were slammed with lines, went downstairs it was wide open.

If the plan is to have such poor options and service upstairs to move people downstairs it's working. Today was the worst, but the beer is a problem every game.

I couldn't figure out why more was not open upstairs.

TBT.  I'm trying to get excited about it but I've really never been interested in watching a bunch of older guys playing pick up ball.

Think of it as a bunch of MUBB alumni many of whom were greats. Taking pride in their university enough so that they want to rep the colours again

Yeah.

Still not interested.

Well, it's fun to see an MU team actually have some tourney success.

Honestly, I think my only interest is due to them going far and being a threat to win. If they were first round exits every year, I wouldn't care. It was fun to see Diener again, but it's pretty sloppy to watch.

Something to be interested in for a few hours in the summer.

Sloppy? It's higher level, more cohesive basketball than 90% of NCAA games. Its a bunch of guys who have been professionals for years, get that it's not a defensive showdown and the coaching isn't an Xs and Os master class,  but sloppy doesn't seem right, especially for those of us here who love CBB.

Seeing it in person is a blast.

Plus every game is intense because it's winner take all. I've had a couple of friends on Overseas Elite and it's great to see them do well. The championship games are incredibly intense because the winners go home with $2 million and the losers, nothing. Plus, last year, I lost a bet to my assistant, a OSU grad. I still owe him 100 pushups...

Ya saying the tbt is a pickup game is about as dumb as the argument two years ago over who would win, the alumni or current MU team.

After watching again, I'll stand by my sloppy comment.

Why do so many women hang dream catchers from the rear view mirror? How much sleeping is going on while driving?

Maybe give it more than just one game where players haven't played in months, much less each other. Marquette's run in the end of the first quarter into the second half was beautiful basketball

Team CP3 is not good and only relied on 2 players. That will drag any game down

One of my tells (and this is completely unfair) if a person has class is if they have a bunch of crap hanging from their rearview mirror.  If there is anything, they probably don't.

This ought to rile some folks.

After peeking at the car condition, that's the second thing I check out when an interviewee arrives.

So true. One more reason to Uber to the interview.

Reminds me of the Steve Jobs Porsche story...
