Thoughts on trip to San Antonio

[zephyr]

Creighton fans also had the season long expectation of traveling for the tournament once mid March got here. Our tournament bid was somewhat unexpected and its not easy for a lot people to get set up for a trip in 5 days.

This. Had I fully anticipated going to a regional for the past season, I would not have paid a crap load of money for Pelicans/Heat tickets in NOLA and I would have made arrangements for my wife to handle the kids' 3 soccer games over the weekend. Outside of this, there was very little chance of me going with the late notice.

Yeah but we also had weeks or months to plan for it.

How many people do you really think have the ability to take vacation from work 3 days before the date, be able to afford a $1,000 trip without needing to budget and save for it, be able to take their kids out of school without a valid excuse, not have any other commitments over the weekend, etc.

Creighton fans knew they were going dancing months ago. They didn't know where they'd be going but they had enough time to prepare.

Captain Obvious strikes again. I know the NO Bowl trips are able to be planned weeks or months in advance. That's why you see 40,000 Cajuns there every year. But to see two sections of Cajun fans in that arena compared to some of the other schools was a bit disheartening. Baylor was the only closer team of the 8 teams that played that day.

In addition, the $1000 number is a bit excessive. We travelled in a group of 3 and spent no where near that as an entire group, much less individually.

Like my initial post said, maybe we're a bit rusty on this whole basketball post season thing. At least I hope that's the case, because I would hate for apathy towards the program to be the root cause for the low numbers in SA.

I knew the dance was a lock in that both wku and gsu weren't going to beat us three times. Then again I also knew we would win that first Nola bowl when all we needed was three pts...yeah I'm always talkin crazy huh? What I didn't know was all of my travel arrangements would be taken care of in return for shooting a doc on the tournament for the kids. So turns out lights out will be my 2nd doc instead of my first. Film should be ready next week if u can believe it, already halfway done. Not sure if the coaches want the kids to get a coy first at the bball banquet or if they will say sure post it online. Either way you'll see it gratis

BINGO. Everyone else had sat down except the three or four people on that particular row. My dad kindly asked them to sit down at that time. He did it ONE TIME for the entire game. And people here make it sound like he was some grumpy fan not making noise and being quiet the whole time.

And to say that we aren't true fans because we didn't stand up for the entire game is one of the most absurd things that I've ever heard from this board. As much time and dedication that my family and I have put into this athletic program over the years, for anyone to claim that is clueless.

End of rant

Your posts seem to have this aura of douchiness that surrounds them because of the money your father gives to UL athletics. Still want that cookie?

So let me get this straight, if the people on the side of you are standing and cheering, it is some unwritten rule that you are supposed to scan the section prior to standing to make sure everyone else is also standing, so as not to inconvience others? Should you also take a quick poll of said area and make sure that those behind you are also willing to compromise their comfort for the sake of cheering the team on?

On the incident being referred to, possession was cross court and our seats were not in the field of view that allowed us to see if anyone else was standing as our seats were near the aisle.

Just pass this message to your pops ULVictory, when asking someone to sit down because you can't see, maybe the best way to go about it is to politely request it. We were, what, two rows in front of you guys? Barking out orders to a fellow fan, like an old geezer telling the neighborhood brats to get off his lawn, will almost always be met with a harsh reaction.

This thread is the reason I have started calling pagin Tigerdroppings south. Turbine you run a great site but some people on here make it really hard to enjoy it. This used to be a great place to discuss UL but not so much anymore.

Sorry Clutch. I started this thread to talk about the great time I had despite the loss and to hear everyone else's feedback. I did not anticpate a 5 page ____ing contest between two guys that (A) are supposed to be on the same side (B) should have resolved thier differences in person at the arena, and/or (C) could/should have taken the high road or agreed to disagree somewhere on page 1 of this thread. Maybe someone could buy both kids a Happy Meal and put this thing to bed.

No harm. You started what should have been a positive thread and it was derailed.

Who cares who is a bigger fan, we all are, or we wouldn't be posting on the site. Is there a few things to _____ about, no doubt about it but we are having the best year athletically that I can ever remember, so let's celebrate instead of trying to bring each other down.
