I've used it to listen to regular season games over my iPhone.  Don't know if they will have the audio feed for today's game.  You could also try the ESPN Radio App.

ESPN Schedule

now shows UM/Uconn on ESPN3 and Gameplan

Does not compute

A buddy was at the NU ticket office when it opened this morning and the best sideline tix on the Michigan side were near the corner at $183 a pop.  He bailed and immediately bought 12 tix on stubhub (around $100 each) which were located on the Michigan side at 40 yd. line, row 63.  Thought purple pricing was supposed to reflect secondary market. This is nuts!

Sounds about right

according to this article.....

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

calls Looney "supremely skilled with the game of a guard and the height of a power forward" in naming him to the all-metro team.  Others on the team include Luke Fischer (2013 Indiana signee), Duane Wilson (2013 Marquette signee), and Diamond Stone (2015 ESPN # 2 and Michigan target).  Milwaukee area is flush with basketball talent this year!

Looney is the real deal

My son plays for another high school in the Milwaukee City Conference and I have seen Looney play a couple of times.  He is very athletic.  Needs to put on some weight.  Don't think he is 210 as mentioned in the article.  ESPN lists him at 185, which sounds about right.  Coach K and Coach Jordan were at one of his games in Milwaukee earlier this year.  He is #7 in 2014 class to ESPN.

Just called

 

Conlin Travel about two hours ago.  I booked a tour immediately after Sunday's game and by the time I filled out the information fields the land tours with game tickets were sold out.  So I booked a tour without tickets.  Later Sunday I bought 2 tickets through PrimeSport in Sec. 328, Row 3.

When I spoke to Conlin today they said they had received the additional allotment from the athletic dept. and they are in the 100 and 200 levels.  I assume they are in the same sections as the allotment made available to season ticket holders or at least with the rest of the alumni tour participants (although I did not ask).

In any case, she let me add 2 tickets to my tour.  So now I have these 2 seats in Sec. 328, Row 3 that I may no longer need.  They are paperless tickets and are managed through my FlashSeats account.  If anyone is interested in these seats I can be contacted at drysermw[at]att[dot]net.

I sensed that he was somewhat

I sensed that he was somewhat pissed to walk into a venue full of Michigan fans just blocks from his playground.  He certainly wasn't appreciative of our congratulatory comments.  Just a little disappointed with his reaction.

Pat Fitzgerald is a bit of a douche

Our Michigan group was consuming food and drinks before the game at the Bluestone when Fitz walked in with his family.  The crowded dining room (about half of which were maize n' blue faithful) gave him a round of applause.  As he passed our table we congratulated him on his bowl win.  In response he said we were wearing the wrong colors and then he turned to one of my friends and said that his Michigan hat made him want to vomit.  I know he must still be very butt-hurt over his team's loss to us, but c'mon man.

Was very surprised that Matt Vogrich didn't play more last night given that friends and family must have been in the house (compare Beilfeldt's PT in Peoria when we played Bradley).  I know Vogrich is buried on the bench but he must be really underground or in the dog house, or both.

 

Columns Hotel

Columns Hotel on St. Charles in the Garden District.  Also has a great bar for quiet drinks.

Stay away from Mother's

Avoid Mother's.  The food is substandard.  The first and only time I was there I complained about the food and they threw me out.  Outstanding Po' Boys are better experienced in numerous neighborhood joints.  Try Susan Spicer's Bayona and Jo Ann Clevenger's Upperline for outstanding dining experiences.  Music and Sunday's Cajun Fais Do Do at Tipitinas is not to be missed.
