Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 4111746, member: 93"] I walked down to Atlantis early this afternoon with my oldest daughter, hoping to pick up my tickets for tomorrow; didn’t realize that they weren’t available until after 3:00, so I’ll have to grab them tomorrow after all. Oh well, it was worth the quick trip in any event. I was amazed at the concentration of coaches and players we saw in just that short time. Walked right into Taliek and Tom Moore when we exited the gift shop (after I grabbed their last XL tourney t-shirt—yes!), and Taliek said hello instantly upon seeing my shirt (“Connecticut” 42 El-Amin) and gave a great big smile. It looked like some other coaches and players were up ahead of them but I didn’t want to trample people to get a look. Moments later we walked right past Matt Garry and Andrew Hurley, who said “hey” to my daughter. Smart kid. Saw a guy with an ASU shirt and explained the possible Hurley vs. Hurley scenario for Friday to my daughter. Five minutes later Bobby Hurley got on the shuttle at the Cove hotel and sat right across from us. He gave me a nod and a smile when he saw my shirt; and when we got off at the next stop I told him I hoped we’d see him on Friday and good luck until then. He gave a very genuine thank you and said he hoped the same for us. Really a great and welcoming scene for interaction. Nice sunset dinner at the Poop Deck. A+ conch chowder and nice grilled, fresh-caught whole snapper, which I ravaged like a raccoon. [/QUOTE]
