St. Louis Roll Call

[The 'hut]

Will Thursday ever get here?

If they had a family 4 pack for $60 for the NCAA's like they do for Arch Madness then I'm sure my family would buy it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately that is not the case...

The family 4 pack is only good at the box office, correct?

Correct, and I believe you have to have a coupon thing that you can print out on the arch madness website. The box office told me last week that all upper level seats are available for that deal, so first come first serve

Since late October when my wife and I were told about her cancer returning and told she had 2 weeks to two months to live she has said her long term goal was to make it to the St Louis tournament. Well she is still here albeit she sleeps a lot more and tires very easily but I'll be damned if I am not going to recognize her wish to be in St Louis. We will leave Tursday am and check in at the Westin. I will get her situated and catch a little of both evening games. I will take her to the Pep rallies but she doesn't have the strength to go to the games. So I look forward to seeing you at the rallies. If you see us introduce yourselves and enjoy the moment.

I don't know you, but I'm moved by your situation and your love for your wife. I'm a person who believes in prayer, and I hope God blesses your wife!

This is the first time in 4 years I won't be able to make the Friday game but I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. But anyways, I was thinking: What if I brought some "My Name Is (write in your name)" stickers to the pep rally and if any Shockernetters wanted to, they could write down their user names and would be a great way to meet some of the fans that post on here. What do you guys think?

Rolling in Thursday and my friend from Wichita is making it over Thursday as well. Suggestions on a good place for cold beers after Thursday's games? We are staying at the Hyatt Regency by the Arch.

Thank you. And be assured we believe God watches out for her each day. She has led a selfless life and has given of herself more than any other person I know from the time she was growing up until now. Someday I will tell her story but for now I am the one that feels blessed to know and love her.

That kind of testimonial paints a great picture of her and you. Hope you have the best time!

I want to hear her story in the worst way, but let's make a deal that the story waits a really long time.

Have a great trip you two!! We won't be there this year, but BRING HOME THAT TROPHY!

Well someone from channel 12 reads SN. I got a call today from Debbie Kennedy and said that she had been contacted by channel 12 after someone had read about my post and taking Debbie to St Louis and wanted to know if she knew who POGO was and could she contact him. Debbie knew because one time I told her my posting name and she said that POGO was one of Mikes favorite comic strips. She called me to see if it would be alright for them to call me and I said yes. Long story short they came out and interviewed her and then me. It may be on Fox news at 9 or Channel 12 at 10 or both if she can get it finished. She was here for over an hour and I have no idea what the final segment will look like but I hope it doesn't include the part where I got choked up. Anyway Debbie K said she would make sure my Debbie had a spot close to the stage during the pep rally and give her a special shout out. I hope we get to meet all of our SN friends. I think that Debbie K handled the whole thing very well and I appreciate the fact that she is going to do a little extra for my Debbie.
