Just like in 1997 - the overtime game in Elite 8 against pesky Providence where it took overtime for the #4 seed Cats to win...Certainly not our best game in that tournament... where, by the way, we handled three #1 seeds en route to the title (I think the only time ever done?)
So Chris Mack had a post game quote about the world seeing that they were the tougher team:
"Regardless of the outcome, regardless of the score, the only thing I wanted was people from California all the way to Florida to watch our game...and at the end of the game to say that we were the tougher ...
Not sure of the severity - but as he grabbed that rebound in last minute and I was screaming with joy...I thought to myself - "I think maybe the knee is OK!"
Confessional from Houston: Got home late last night from son's baseball...missed first 8 minutes of game Get to the house and my wife (a Florida State Seminole) has an Arizona Banner hung on the front door Walk inside and she has gone and gotten me my favorite Philly Cheese Steak which is warm and ...

I love walking around there and seeing the sea of RED!
Last year we came up with a method for getting past the metal detectors and easy entry with some whiskey...go to the convenience store on the strip and buy the little disposable soft pouch margarita bags from the cooler...drink the margarita and keep the screw cap and pouch...refill said bag with ...
The wife and I will be there for our third straight year. Last year we did a ton of drinking at Pub 1842 with some cool Colorado Bros and, on another occasion, 97Cats and his boys. It's right next to the arena and has a great beer selection. Great pre-game place.
Another important note for Cat fans entering the arena...we learned last year that you can take in one (1) drink in plastic/disposable cup as you enter the arena...an important note as the cocktails inside are stout from a pricing standpoint - but going in with a 32 ounce mixed drink seems to make ...
I was out last year and went with no tix in hand. Was able to buy from people there and the back up is the stub hub ticket store that they have about a mile or so from the MGM (it is back behind Ceasars)...Ended up paying anywhere from $50 to $125 for tickets to each game...all were in the lower ...
