Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3113049, member: 591"] Woo-hoo. We did our part and bought our tix, although our friends got to use them as we are in Vegas. Will treat our friends again for the final. Adia is a great, young upcoming coach. And the UA athletic department "gets it" - this is all fodder for an improvement in attendance in the future. It is a win - win - win. Gets the program talked about, gets recognition in the local paper and even the casual U of A fan on the street (and there is a lot of them) gets to hear about it. And recruits get to see it. And even if the net affect is 500 more season tickets (which are (or have been quite cheap, WFIW) it is just building the program. And yes, battle of the Wildcats - but Northwestern doesn't have Wilma. I wouldn't be shocked if Wilbur shows up for this one as well, but maybe not. And Joe McKeown on of Northwestern is an old favorite from Rutgers days (when he was at George Washington). Used to call him "Jumping Joe" although his jumping days are behind him. Have met him, he's an odd bird, but a good coach. Then again, aren't they all (odd birds). [/QUOTE]
