I flew from Tokyo to New York for the Big East Tournament, but I couldn't make it to North Carolina, nor to the Meadowlands (much to my dismay.)
However, nothing could stop me from flying across the world to watch my Hoyas in their first Final Four appearance since 1985!
I am so excited I cannot contain myself - I've been bouncing off the walls since 5am (it's 9am now in Tokyo.) I am hopping on a plane in a few hours and will be arriving in Atlanta Friday night - hoping to meet up with a bunch of guys to get the pre-game festivities rolling.
Tgo, D-Rock (old HoyaTalk poster from back in the day) and I are staying at the Westin and D-Rock is getting married in less than two months, so this should serve as a worthy celebration of bachelorhood...
NOW I JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW: THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING! IT'S ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!
ALL ABOARD!
LAST CALL FOR THE NON-STOP ONE-WAY EXPRESS TRAIN TO MEGAFANLAND!
LET'S GO HOYAS!!! OUST OSU!

The Nat Burton Bus Gold Club Bus (my g/f just suggested this b/c the car is gold) is leaving Arlington tomorrow at 7:00pm, carrying a lot of Hoya spirit in the front and a lot of Hoya spirits in the trunk ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . I spent a solid 5 minutes last night after I got my Final Four tickets in the mail just staring at the things (they are gi-normous, the hologram is the size of a small dog) and smiling. ;D

Just got 2 tickets so my father and I will drive down after school tomorrow. Steep 14 hours but who cares. I'm sure we'll stop somewhere tomorrow night around midnight and spend the night and wake up early to get to ATL by 3PM ish. I dont think I've ever been so excited, wow. GO HOYAS...

Will be there with two other GU Band Alumni from the Class of '95. The Band Alumni are talking about getting together at Underground Atlanta on Sunday night -- with the rest of you guys we could take over the place.
ETA: Will be at Compound pre-game. We bought the Hoop Club package so will be squeezing every penny's worth out.

Caught the last possible flight from Bahrain to Washington (via Paris) that gets me back in time to drive down to Atlanta with the Jack/Velvet Elvis contigent.
All said and done- 20 hours of flying, 10 hours of driving but I wouldnt miss it even if I had to try and swim home!

Checking in to confirm four of us roomates from the Class of '89 will be driving to Atlanta to join the Georgetown faithful. BTW we have our tickets in hand for MEGAFANLAND.
So proud to hear the effots of the Hoya faithful pouring in from around the globe. Let us drive this effort forward with our cheering and enthusiasm. Let us be the sixth man to help out our awesome team!!!
Go Hoyas!!

Alright - any other candidates for longest trip to the game - the contenders are-----
MEGAFAN - Tokyo Reheaded Hoya - Bahrain
We should probably have 2 categories - miles & time. Winners get an ATTABOY and heartfelt thanks of Hoyas everywhere.

I am in and looking forward to seeing and meeting all of you. I will write my Hoyatalk name on my "official" Hoyas name tag that I understand we need to wear on to ge access to the buses and events. I hope you all do so too.

Winners get an ATTABOY and heartfelt thanks of Hoyas everywhere. I love MEGA, but I think Redheaded wins for two reasons: 1. She is flying from Bahrain to DC, then driving directly to ATL 2. She has promised to bring the single most important sports blogger in the world to our tailgate. The royal We will be thrown around quite liberally.
