Mr. Samuelson

shoulda flown out of NYC instead of Bradley
Probably similar driving distance but would have gotten direct flight to Cinci

Though perhaps a lot more expensive?

 

[Vowelguy]

In fact there are even some direct flights from NYC to lexington

It is an interesting side-story. But ESPN spent so much time on it that I wasn't sure if a basketball game was being played.

I was more fascinated with none of the 3 of them knowing that if he accepted a free flight from an airline it would likely be construed as a violation and his kids would be ruled in ineligible for games.

Loved the pictures of him mugging it up with his kids. Easy to see where Lou gets her delightful light touch and droll facial expressions.

Why does Mrs. Samuelson not go to any of the games?

Why does Mrs. Samuelson not go to any of the games?

They were saying she gets too nervous.

Hope he missed Geno's presser. Rough on Lou's D.

It was banter. I'm sure all three know the rules much better than any of us, particularly since two of them were college basketball studs as players.

Suspect family has frequent flyer points or other similar preferred airlines.

She does, I spoke to her at the DePaul game.

When the older two were deciding on schools their uncle was sick so they decided to stay closer to home - I remember seeing an article about it. He did pass away unfortunately.

 

[Bigboote]

His is the most wonderful "first-world problem."

It is expensive to make trips on short notices, double that for 2 people. Now if it were only Lou, it would have been easy, week 1 Storrs, week 2 Bridgeport, However, they had no idea where Karlie would be playing. week 1 wasnt Maples, but where? week 2, Stockton? Lexington, Okla City? Bridgeport?. Since he wanted to see both daughters, flights had to be made in less than a weeks advance notice at high prices.
As another poster said she was at the DePaul game and I have seen her at Stanford games.
I am guessing if/when UConn wins she will be in Dallas next weekend.
