Cool, including the Balkans, good idea. I reckon he wants to find the next Jokic or Divac. Maybe make a stop over in Serbia too, IMO.

Maybe Timberlake is a world traveler. Someone get him on the line.

Timberjack, Lumberlake, who needs him................we want people who want to succeed and grow, not just pick up some cash for a year on the roster.
Won't it be more fun to win #6 with a young roster that grows stronger and stronger each month, culminating with wins over Belmont and Northern Arizona in the Final Four? It's a new era!

August is a great time to go to France and especially Paris. The south is nuts but the rest is perfect. Some small shops and restaurants will be closed, but they also call off the riots and strikes until early September.

We‘re actually going in early September and hoping that people take a few weeks before being outraged by whatever is outrageous this year.

Im hearing this summer could eclipse last summers travel nightmare scenarios to Europe. Best of luck!

Good selling point for potential transfers too. You know, in case the we just won a national championship thing wasn't enough.

To Vienna, 1.5 hour layover. Direct flight back from Vienna. My yearly trek to Czech, starting in Prague, last 3 days in Vienna. Went through Amsterdam on my way back last year - disaster.

Amsterdam is 3rd place in transfer disasters.

I got pulled from the libe, Mason boarded. When I asked why they said because I came from Prague, I said that's where my son came from too. Guess I have that International Terrorist look.

Prague is a great city, Czech is a beautiful country - have pretty much explored most of it - castles, caves, palaces. Rent a car while there - google maps work wonders. People are wonderful. Will be my first trip to Vienna using DayTrip - driver will pick us up at Prague airport after wedropiff the car, 3 1/2 hours we'll be at our hotel in Vienna. Looking at a boat ride down the Danube for 1 of the days we're there. Staying in the historic city center district.

Hypothetically speaking if one finds themselves in France on a business trip the same time as the team, could they attend any of the games or scrimmages?

 

[gtcam]

Maybe this means both Ajax and Newton will come back. A Euro trip vs who knows. Good exposure for the program

Better start working on passports now. Huge backlog.

I'm guessing we have the resources to pay the 500$ or whatever it is for our guys to get expedited passports if we need to.

Throw Budapest in there, too. Short train ride from Vienna.

Poland is also on my list - avoiding now because of Ukraine.

 

[MTBingNinja]

Anyone know if fans will be allowed at the games?

Will the games be televised?

We wouldn’t know. After getting us all hanging on your every travail, you never finished your story.
