Nice send-off for the ladies. There were about five or six trumpet players playing Maybe three hundred fifty to four hundred people inside of Anderson Arena to send the ladies off to Greensboro.

Not sure who the folks were with the sign "We have our tickets to Cleveland, now go get yours."

Good luck ladies - we're proud of you!

that's awesome!!! puts a bit of a lump in my throat. It's just hitting me today how amazing all of this is and what they still have the opportunity to accomplish.

There were people lining the streets in town to wave the girls off. I'm not usually an emotional person but being out there with all those people yelling and screaming for those buses got the water works starting. I wasn't at Anderson, but some of my band insiders tell me the whole situation was quite moving, and the dry eyes were few and far between.

Wow...there were times not long ago when you couldn't get 400 people to a women's game.

I am so happy for this team. It's nice to see them getting the notice and respect that they've earned over the past four years.

I wanted to make this send-off, but I just didn't think I'd come close to making it if then indeed leave at 2:15. I get off work in McComb at 2 and the drive just takes too long.

It is just too hard to pass this up:

Couldn't you have at least made it half-way through while they were boarding the bus?

No offense intended. I usually defend the second half jokes in the women's forum because you bought season tix, but that was just way too easy.

Hey sorry dude. It takes 25 mins at least to get from McComb to BG that's after getting gas as I was low. I really wanted to make it but it just worked out with how long it takes to get to BG and all. The only way I would've made it is if they were really slow in getting on the bus.
