Thanks Roop.

This conversation makes me think of "Anger Management," which I caught on tv the other night.  Karma point to anyone who knows the secret word...


Oh yeah, I need to write something about basketball...Go LU!   

[JUSTINTYEM]

Is it Daffodil???

[scottie]

Nope

Crap, I saw part of Anger Management on TV last night also but I don't remember what the secret word is!

I wouldn't put it past him.  He did post asking if anyone needed tickets.

Anyway, anyone actually get in line today?  I was just curious on when people started standing in line today.

My wife was there and she said coach Tharp and Kyle McGillis were there thanking the fans for their support.  Class move by a class team.

March madness is what its all about.  I love it!  I made the trip to LU yesterday from the Madison area, some people may think its crazy, but it was great.  I left at 8:40am yesterday morning, worried it would take me a while to find the music/drama center and a friend suggested if I was there 11/2 hrs ahead, I should be fine.  I drove down college avenue/street at about 10:40 and there it was the music/drama center.  Awesome, found a parking spot real close and walked in.  I was pleasantly surprised to find I was about 80 deep in the roped off maze to get tickets, so I knew I would be successful.  The next couple of hours standing with basically strangers was very interesting and fun.  Some people, unlike me, came prepared with newspapers, magazines, books and even lawn chairs. The first people to arrive, got there at 8am, I think this was Justntymes fam, some of them were napping in their chair by 11:00.  There were 2 older ladies, whom haven't missed a home game yet this year, with all the web stats/rosters of both IWU & LU.  They were very concerned about IWU's size. Another lady was trying to payoff a couple little kids in tow with their parents, to  buy 4 extra tickets for her.  I think she succeeded.  Coach Tharp and company came with about 1 hour of waiting left, I thought it was very classy of him to thank everyone for waiting to support his team.  He took the time to talk to people in the  crowd and received an ovation.  I dont care if he looks like a weasel, thats class!  The last 30 minutes went really fast and at 12:30 on the button, the line moved very quickly and BAM, my tickets are in my hand!  I feel bad for the people that couldnt wait in line or did and got turned away.  Thats why, I hope Justntyme will be generous with his extras.  Im really looking forward to the game, because IWU handled a pretty good WW squad, but I think LU can take them. It will be a game to remember, and I'll be rooting for you LU

Gobucs,

Nice story!  I was wondering when people showed up and what all went down in Appleton.  I was thinking of driving up and standing in line and thought about getting up there around 9 am or so.  I decided not to and luckily got tickets through an IWU poster.

On the news today, they were interviewing people (obviously from yesterday) and they were making a big deal about getting in line at 10:30 or whatever.  Like standing in line for two hours isn't a huge deal, but being there at 8 am is.  Congrats to all those who got tickets.

Re:  Extra Tickets

Anyone know the situation for tomorrow.  The box office opens at 12:30 and closes at 5:30.  Are there going to be two different lines, one for the LU/IWU game and one for the Augie/UPS game.  I don't want to stand in line for two hours when all I may want is Augie tix...and everyone else is probably in line for LU tix.  Plus, when are they shipping all the tickets over to the Alex?  Any ideas?  Sam Johnson, you seem to be in contact with someone over there!  Thanks.

Hopefully my Augie contact will come through for me and I won't have to worry about it! lol.

Man, I don't remember the secret word either and I couldn't even find it on google.  You win, Scottie.

[JUSTINTYEM]

Who still needs a ticket???

[scottie]

Nice story, Go Bucs. 

Okay, a Karma point if you know the therapeutic song from Anger Management.  That might be equally helpful for this board.

[John Gleich]

Karma point to anyone who knows the secret word...

The only secret word I can think of would be "chill"... the word floating in Sandler's Alpha-bits cereal bowl.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Didn't he sing "I feel pretty" in that movie?

[scottie]

That's it!  Good job, Hoops Fan.  So whenever any of you get a little frustrated on this board (at a certain moderator, or anyone else), just sing along.  Or you can join me from some trapshooting.  Ha ha.

p.s.  I don't actually remember the secret word, myself, but would probably recognize it when I see it.  (An infamous definition.)  I was hoping one of you would jog my memory.  It was something like, "shamboofa" or something.  I guess for this board we could adopt the word, "slamhoopa."

This post should put me directly into Hall of Famer classification!   
(Keep in mind, these are the Anger Management lyrics.)
