I won tickets to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 this morning!

KOBEcollector

If anyone was listening to WFAN this morning around 10:30 you would've heard me and my buddy Rob win tickets to the sweeeeet 16 and elite 8 at the Meadowlands

It was contest they were running where they play audio clips of past college players and coaches and you have to call in and name who it was. We were on our way to get something to eat at Wawa when they played a clip of Steve Fisher the old Michigan coach so my buddy, who happens to have the radio stations # on speed dial, called in.

The first two times he tried to call he wasn't getting any service for some reason . He tried one more time and he finally got thru. Two callers got thru before us and thank god they didn't know the answer. First guy had no guess and the second guy guessed Dean Smith. My buddy guessed Steve Fisher and Joe Beningo, the host of the show went crazy as did us.

My buddy and i are thrilled to death, 1 because i have been a huge Georgetown fan for over 20 years and if they don't get upset by Belmont hopefully i'll be able to see them live in the 16 or elite 8.

Secondly, my buddy Rob is THEE biggest college basketball fan i've ever seen. He takes vacation every year from work just to watch March Madness

Thanks !

I was a victim of Hoya Paranoia in the early 80's

I watched Fred Brown throw that perfect pass to James Worthy in 82 and i believe i wept like a baby

I thought Ewing was an absolute monster back then and have been a fan ever since

Thank you guys

I just got a call from my friend who told me that on StubHub the tickets are going for $400 a pop for upperlevel and $1000 lowerlevel . I asked him if he still wants to go or sell and he said WERE GOING lol

He's still waiting for a call from the promotion people, we have no idea how many tickets or where in the arena there located

I thought it might....Our friend Gary sent a thread about how he won a flat screen tv at this local supermarket one week and then the next week Garygate hit. The title of your threade made me think of that.

Lame attempt at a joke - sorry

As mentioned...Congrats and enjoy....it is one of the best sporting event you will attend

DO NOT SELL!!!!

KOBEcollector

No need to be sorry Volver, nowadays on this board your never sure who's telling the truth anymore .. I realize it was just a joke but i will be sure to post a scan of my ticket and i'll take some pictures as well

Dave

Volver

No, No Dave no need...your integrity was never questioned once and still isn't

I have been to two Elite 8's before and it is just a crazy atmosphere - and when I went my school wasn't even playing.

You'll have a blast

Congrats Dave! It could'nt have happened to a nicer guy!

I will however say this.........SELL SELL! Watch it at home and get paid $400- $1000 to do so.


I see alot of Kobes or Emmitts in your future!

At my local grocery store, I just won a bar covered in old pack wrappers ...

I went to the NCAA games in Sacramento today. It was really fun to be there. Going back again on saturday. It was a long day watching 4 games in 1 day.

I remember sitting in the Kingdome watching Georgetown win it all in '84.

Volver

I assume that is the East side of the bracket. If so looks like No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 5 USC could be interesting

KOBEcollector

I remember sitting in the Kingdome watching Georgetown win it all in '84

I remember that game like it was yesterday. I have the game on tape and watch it every now and then.

What i also remember about 84 was their win in the final 4 against Memphis State. Memphis had a lead early and G-Town went on a huge run to take control

You are correct . Carolina - USC and G-Town - Vandy

Just got back from the games

Holy Cow what a great time

I've been a Hoya fan for a long time and i can't remember being so nervous

The crowd there was unbelievable and i can't wait to go to Sundays game

UNC VS G-Town . . dosen't get any better than that

It looked like USC had them but UNC put a nice run together

Dave

stown

Did you take any pictures?

Great to hear you had a good time.

KOBEcollector

Stown, i didn't take pics at the game because i took enough from the practice sessions the day before

here is a link to that post if you didn't see

The funny thing that i forgot to mention is the section i was sitting in was all a group of people that won our tickets thru the radio station so everyone was asking each other which question they had gotten right to win the tix

Congrats!! As I type this, the UNC-Georgetown game is only 2 minutes old. I'm sure you're having the time of your life.

I look forward to hearing your recap of the UNC-Georgetown matchup.

KOBEcollector

woodwind,

The atmosphere at the game was incredible. Nothing but Hoya and NC fans going balistic

Definetly an experience my friend and i will never forget

No beer sold at the game which was a downer but other than that a fantastic time

Stayed to watch G-Town cut down the net

Cool! Glad to hear you and your friend had a great time. Watching them cut down the net live and in person would have sent chills down my spine. Good chills that is.
