If Sean Miller survives this offseason ...

So this is the weekend prior to turkey day?

Correct - the Friday and Sunday before. And if you want to spend an additional week out there, the same promoter is putting on the Duke vs Gonzaga game in the same arena on the Friday after Thanksgiving :)

On a side note, for those in the Wichita area, there are now 3 non-stop flights out to Vegas from Wichita as Frontier started service a couple days ago on Monday. You can actually book the flight on them already if you wanted or see how much it could cost. The other two, Allegiant Air and Southwest, don't go out that far on their flight bookings. Allegiant Air is still a week away, and with Southwest, you can only book through August.

I was looking around on the fan forums yesterday and on the UNLV forum there were posts that the rumor is Iowa State would let Prohm go and the UNLV coach would go to Iowa State. They were even throwing out names of replacement coaches they'd like to see, with Gregg Marshall's name in the mix :) It also sounded like they didn't think the UNLV team would be very good next year.

I may have to talk to some friends. We've talked about going to Vegas for a Chiefs game, but flights are very reasonable so an extra trip for some Shocker basketball could be doable.

Was looking at the presale ticket site and they've listed the sections designated for fans. I imagine it'll be listed on the main ticket page too, but just in case one buys tickets later on through another site, here are the sections:

UNLV Fans - Sec. 11-15, Sec. 220-222
Arizona Fans - Sec. 16-20, Sec. 224-227
Michigan Fans - Sec. 1-5, Sec. 201-204
Wichita State Fans - Sec. 6-10, Sec. 206-208

FYI - the NFL hasn't released their schedules for next season, but last November, the Chiefs played at the Raiders the Sunday night prior to Thanksgiving (Nov. 22). Would be kind of cool if they did that again this year. One could watch the Shockers and the Chiefs in the same city :)

I got my tickets yesterday. Section 6.

NFL released team schedules tonight. If you're a Chief's fan and want to spend a week in Vegas, the Chiefs play in Vegas vs the Raiders on Sunday night, November 14. If you're a Raider's fan, you could also catch the Raiders hosting the Bengals at 1 pm pst on November 21 if WSU isn't playing at that same time :)

Nah, I don’t feel like getting shanked.

[Veritas]

Nah, I don’t feel like getting shanked.

I imagine the Las Vegas Raiders will be quite different than the Oakland Raiders. The PSL difference between the two stadiums (if Oakland even had one) will discourage or price out a lot of the old infamous behavior.

Then I feel for you...all 5 of you.

I've already floated the idea of a week in Vegas to friends. A couple of them are big WSU guys while the other two like WSU but prefer other schools as their top choice. Could be a lot of fun.

a WEEK in vegas? that's dangerous

Are your friends who like WSU but prefer other schools, fans of the other 3 schools in the Vegas Tourney or just other than WSU? If they are fans of Arizona, Michigan, or UNLV, stay away from alcohol. It could become volatile. :)

I have two friends in this group that are KU first, WSU second. Just not sure they would want to spend an entire week in Vegas to do this tournament or not. They'd also be without their wives and kids during that time and I'm not sure they'd do that or be able to justify it to their significant others. I don't see their wives being down for the week in Vegas but I could be wrong. One isn't a big sports fan in general, doesn't hate it. The other is a big KU and Chiefs fan. She might be a maybe if they had arrangements for their children.

The other two friends I'm sure would absolutely be down. They're also dating even though she's a Lions fan, she does like the Chiefs and would be on board. But again, they each have children from previous marriages and that would have to be worked out to make it happen. They'd both previously mentioned maybe going out for the tournament, but extending the trip may not be doable.

I just patiently await responses.
