BG will play at 5:30 against an opponent TBD, Wed March 8th at the Q. I work 10 min from downtown and leave here at 5:30. Looks like I'll be asking to work 8:30-5 that day. Hopefully Mrs Freak and the Freaklings will be able to make it to Cleveland in time.

If BG wins that game, they'll play Friday during the day...Gametracker time!

If they make it to the title game (and we know they will), it should be around 1PM Sat the 10th. Josh and Jake have Y hoops leagues on Saturdays so they may have to miss a game.

GO FALCONS!!! BACK 2 BACK!

Let me know if you need a ride up to the Q for the 8th.

Ironically, Logan has a tournament in Green on the 11th...travel team bball...I hope that isn't the games your thinking of missing...it could shape up to be a real "battle in the paint!"

Will do!

Josh and Jake are in the Y hoops league...they play other teams from the same Y in Green. I haven't read anything about a tournament for their league but will check this weekend.

Freak,
Where'd you find that info? I work downtown, so it's no problem for me, but I always thought the games were 1/3 and 7/9. ...

A link would be appreciated!

The Falcon Club is also arranging buses to the games in Cleveland. Think it's like $25 for bus ride to and from.

It's not fair that all of you can have all the fun! While you're up there getting to enjoy our beloved team, and getting to watch them actually play, I am relegated to hoping to be able to catch them on the internet. I want to go to. Alright, enough of that whining, I hope you all make enough noise that you can say some of it was from me. Here's to maybe hoping that they get put into the San Antonio Regional, and make it the to elite sweet 16. Then I can go see them.

Do you know if the falcon club is going to arrange any kind of mass transportation to see the ladies in the big show? Plane tickets are a bit expensive for us students, and with dear old mom and dad about to be helping three kids through college I really don't want to beg them for air-fare...

It might behoove you to E-mail the athletic department and encourage your friends to do the same. If they know that there is interest in student transportation to the NCAA tourney games, I'm sure they'd organize it in a heartbeat.

If the game isn't in our region, don't expect the university to sponsor bussing for students.

That's what I'm afraid of, there's talk from the tourney band people that our second game will be in albaquerque and I really wanna hit that game, but I see no way that the university would bus students down there.

I was just looking at a CollegeRPI.com's bracket and the 8 1st/2nd round sites are Penn State, Purdue, Trenton, Norfolk/Old Dominion, Nashville, Tucson, Chicago, and Denver. I can only see the University busing students to Purdue and Chicago, and maybe Penn State

nashville isn't all that far. it wouldn't be a terrible drive. norfolk...maybe.
at late notice, it'd be all but impossible (i'd imagine) to either get together a charter flight (especially without having commitment from students in advance), or to receive any kind of deal on airfare for the trip.

On espn.com, Charlie Creme, the guy who does bracketology for women's basketball, he seems to think that we are going to end up in State College for the 1st and 2nd round. Obviously that is pure speculation, but most teams stay fairly close to home with the new pod system, so it could likely happen. If the 1st round is at Penn State, then I think the university should provide busing, as it would only be 6 1/2 hours away.

not necessarily true. last year our first round game was in seattle (oh how i'd love to go back. i didn't get to go to the experience music project thanks to a broken door on our charter flight...)
