A bit off the beaten path, but it is never too early to plan.

Our merry band of knuckleheads has decided to once again (possibly for the last time for a while) head down for our sermi-annual trip to Memphis for Bearcat basketball. I wanted to know if anyone on the board will be making it down on March 5th.

We have decided to pass on getting tix through U-Cats. Two years ago, being a member got us tix in row XX in the corner of the Pyramid. Worst seats I have sat in for any event. This year I want to know if anyone has a better option for decent seats that won't be obnoxiously overpriced. I hate brokers but that may be our best option.

If you are on the fence about making a road tirp and can't make the conference tournament the following week, I strongly recommend making this one (last chance!). We have been doing it since the Larry Finch days and absolutely love it. You may feel like crap for 2-3 days (thanks to the Memphis social scene) but it is one of the highlights of our season as Bearcat fans.

After 14 years, we have the road map pretty much memorized as to how to have a good time on a weekend in Memphis. I'd love to have a few more Bearcat faithful along to check out the Fed Ex Forum (I will miss the Pyramid and all of those cute NIT banners they had hanging all over the place, though).

A Bearcat victory, Rendevouz ribs, Biehl Street and a late night of entertainment at Platnum Plus. Can't beat it!!!
