Playing at an active Air Force Base

[jleves]

is way cooler than playing on an aircraft carrier in San Diego. The air craft carrier was neat and all, but playing in front of active troops and wounded soldiers coming home from the field - way better. The crowd was way better than the air craft carrier too. You could hear a pin drop last year.

Winning it and seeing Coach Ollie carry a trophy off doesn't suck either.

The troops really did appreciate it....it was a good thing.

The troops really did appreciate it....it was a good thing.

For me, that's just as important as the win. Maybe more important.

agreed, this Florida/Georgetown game is dead

Absolutely great atmosphere. They even did a wave!

I heard the Carrier Classic between Ohio State and Marquette tonght was cancelled due to condensation on the court from the ocean and won't we rescheduled. Wasn't there talk of UCONN playing in this game at one point? Really glad they didn't. It would suck to lose a quality game like that, although this year with the post season ban, quality wins are just for bragging rights not NCAA seeding.

so the FL/GT game got called at the half after OSU/Marq was cancelled, RIP to aircraft carrier games, I can't see them doing this again.
