We all got there and set up tents(we did have a great time that night for what that's worth) and were given wrist bands around 7 am. When it came time to let us in the arena first, the staff did a terrible job. They should have opened a separate door and allowed only those with wrist bands in first, as we were promised throughout the night, but they didn't. Instead, a large crowd gathered at the door and they just chose to do nothing for the people who had camped out. I was pretty bitter because I attended most games at that point, but at least I was able to get in. It was a great idea if they would have just went through with what they had said they were going to do. I hate to think that some people who camped out may not have gotten in that game.

Haha, I got a black eye at that event! Good thing paint covers it well. The staff threw towels and crap into a mob, not very smart. The ESPN cameras goading students at the gate wasn't a good idea either.
