I PM'd DD about the cost of the tix.

If you go, are you going to drive or fly? The cheapest tix I could find to fly is over $600, so was considering driving.

I think tix are $270 for a one seat package for the weekend (three games).

As much as I would love to go to the FF, I'm going to pass so I can continue with what has been working to help us win. Watch the game alone, as in no K68 around, and eating a double chocolate klondike bar at half-time. If I went and we lost, I'd never forgive myself.

Congratulations, to the DDs! What a thrill you will experience watching your daughter dance and cheer at the Final Four!

I've thought, hoped and prayed that this day would come--ever since Claire made the Blue Squad back in August.

We expect a full report WITH PICTURES when you return!

(An aside to those of you here in the Triangle area--Nobody covers the Final Four like WRAL. ExLax and I went to the Final Four in Seattle back in 1989, and although we had a fun time, we missed so much of the local flavor that WRAL brings in its coverage of the Final Four. We had good seats--front row in the level above the broadcast booth, thanks to my connection with you-know-who, but the REALLY good seats on the floor go to the media sponsors and the members of the NABC.

We went out on the Iron Dukes charter flight. I sat two rows away from H. Keith H. Brodie on the plane. We never got to interact with the team or coaches, although I did get to visit with Mickie Krzyzewski one evening. We saw a lot of the cheerleaders, since one of the members of my travel party was a cheerleader's mom. We had a great tour of the Seattle area, including lunch at the Space Needle, and we even rented a car and drove to Vancouver while we were there. We ate dinner with Devil84's parents one night at the hotel. We saw a lot of the women's Final Four teams because they were playing in their Final Four down in Tacoma that same weekend. So we had fun, and I think that every Duke fan should try to experience at least one Final Four in person, but the atmosphere is not the same intensity level as that of a home game in Cameron Indoor.)

Where did Ymo get tickets? Where are the seats located, Ymo?

ILJ and I have already sent in our request with the devild***s.

We don't have any CTN hats. Yet.

The Borat idea is a much better one.

We plan on being there in time for dinner. No bagels. No pastrami or corned beef.
And I will place the pizza, if we can find a good one in the Land of the Lost, in an unreachable place. :)) =)) :O3

What time does the Liquor Barn close? ;) :D

One of my ticket sources suggested we fly with the team charter but I'm not a 6 figure donor. Perhaps if I stood on the runway just before take off and painted my chest with "BAGS FLY FREE," I could find a spot in that compartment on their flight. We're going on 4 wheels and staying with family.
