Vic Schaefer is the real deal...he took that program to the top level in a few years.   He can coach, and he’s been able to attract American talent to come play in Starkville, Mississippi.

Will be nice to be able to catch the ladies locally. If anyone is making the trip let em know and I can figure out a place we can maybe do a TBP get together close to the Strip or in Downtown LV as I'm assuming that's where the bulk of people making the trip will be staying.

 

Don't cheap out and stay at one of the few hotels across from UNLV, while the Embassy Suites and Hyatt across Swenson from the arena are nice enough the neighborhood puts Suitcase City to shame.

The team and at least some are staying at NY NY.  We made hotel reservations a while ago but airfare is pretty expensive - at least the coming home part of the trip.
