The Mighty Quinn looks like it will keep me away for Wednesday night, but plan on being shoveled out by 7am For a Guinness at the Cafe by 11 come rain snow win or lose 37/38. I am on the same schedule, though for different reasons on Wed night, but my attendance record pales in comparison. Living in the Midwest for the first 7 years out of college will do that to you. Living in the Midwest is no excuse. Since Graduation I have lived in Chicago, Detroit, St Louis and Dallas.

After day one there dont tend to be any available from the box office but plenty on stubhub etc and there is usually a chance to buy them from GU, haven't seen a hoop club email yet to let us know when and where those will be available. I think I read that this is not going to be spring break week so that might mean fewer students and more tickets available for alums.

It's a given. I will be there for every Hoyas game at a minimum.
Bringing my HS senior daughter for first time. She has been dying to go for years. Older posters may remember my posts about her refusing Cuse and Duke basketballs at hoops camps as a youngster.
I really hope we get a Dub to have that overnight enthusiasm.
We can certainly beat the Hall.
Let's go!

I’m in, as part of a Chic class of ‘78 contingent including HoyaChris, hoyajmw and others. I think this is 36 of 39 for me, although I did bug out early 25 years ago when my son decided to arrive two weeks early. Poor planning on my part.

Will be there to go 37/39. You sell yourself short. Will be 38 of 40. 37th year in the Garden; 3 before it in Providence, f-in’ Syracuse and Hartford (but please don’t ask me what I remember from, oh, yesterday. — other than Hoyas win! Hoyas win! Hoyas win!...). Will only be 35 of 40 for me (but at least I, too, will always have Providence... and Boeheim throwing a chair in ‘84...) And P.S. staying for the whole tournament now, win or lose for Hoyas (and sadly we know what that has meant for, oh, the last decade) is great fun without the upstate trash, UConvicts or Pittsburgers around to pollute the vibe. Great, friendly like-minded fan bases and very competitive games — this year especially on the latter and hopefully including us as part of both. Plus you can take in a Broadway show (not that there’s anything wrong with that...)

Will be there - 29 of the last 31 for me. 89 was my freshman year - probably the best weekend of college. 07 not bad as well.

Section 119
27/31
In 89 I thought we should expect it every year, and probably didn't appreciate it enough.
This made 2007 so rewarding, b/c I realized how hard the BET is to win.
Enjoyed BE final that year as much as the UNC Elite Eight win.

Sorry, HoyaChris. I’m the guy who writes last year’s year on checks until about June...

Is that it from the board? We used to practically fill Cafe 31 with board members before a game, now we have fewer than 10?
