DUBulldog says "I'll be there. I've already agreed to have drinks with about 12 different ValleyTalkers from 4 different schools. You'll recognize me by the way I'm stumbling and falling down."
DUBulldog,
So what's different about this year than any of the previous? Sounds like business as usual! The real question is... Does McBull help you off the floor like a good fellow Bulldog should or does that fall under Nobody's responsibility? :D

Who gets Jacques after all the Creighton fans leave on Saturday morning? :) Is it up for grabs or is there a pecking order? Do we consider Larry Flint's and Diamond Cabaret "Neutral Territory" or are they available to be claimed? (I had no idea the tourney was going to be so complicated.)

The St., the Ste., and 4 other wayward souls will make the holy journey, arriving probably not before second Thursday game.

I am trying to talk a friend into going. Being on the East Coast makes it tough. If we make it, it will probably not be until Saturday's games. If any Valley team plays in the S.E. (N.C., Atl, Jax) during the NCAAs, I will be there in full support.

Yeah .. I'll have to take care of the slobbering drunk again. Thank God Nobody will be there to help fight all the hot babes off of him. I keep telling the chick magnet to hire personal security but he won't listen!

Not sure but I think it has to do with the time settings .. some show the posts were made at 5:34 ????
BlueBlood I look forward to buying you a beer when I see you .. I only owe you about 3,426, right?

My caravan of 8 to Jacques at the Sheraton has an ETA of 10 PM Thursday. I hereby claim Jacques as a Creighton Bar. No one else allowed. Rules strictly inforced.
I'm going to Jacques with a stun gun!

I opened a tab up under your name at Jacques. I figure if everybody that reads this puts a Bud Light on the tab we should be even by midnight Thursday.

Popping the cherry this year and making my first pilgrimmage. Dragging the wife as well.... The kids will remain at home though :)
Yep - leaving Omaha about 6:00 tomorrow and will be hitting Morgan Street around 12:30 or 1 Friday morning.

I am in, though I won't be able to make it until Friday morning. This will be my first MVC tourney experience, hopefully it will be better than my dreadful trip to Oklahoma City last year for the NCAA's. :D

I'll be rooting the Braves on Friday afternoon in St. Louis. I guess Jim Les isn't Mr. Friday night anymore.
I'll be there with bells on!! I can hear The Landing calling my name!

I'll be there. If UNI wins, we stay overnight and go to the game the next day. If they lose, we stay overnight and leave the next morning.

I'll be there Thursday through Sunday! This is my first time getting to go the entire time. I can't wait for the Friday games either. I can't wait to watch Bradley/Creighton and MSU/UNI games! Those will likely be more exciting than the SIU vs. IlSt/UE game on Friday. Can't wait to meet some of ya!

I am heading down tomorrow morning around 9, check into the hotel and then head over to the Savvis. Have been before, but will be the first time I have attended the play in games.

I will be there. No matter how good or bad my team is playing, I love the atmosphere and meeting all the other posters.

I'll be there all four days whether the Dawgs win or lose. My seats are in the upper deck, so for all you rich folks in the lower bowl I'll be the guy in the maroon shirt that's sitting in your seat. If you let me stay, I will buy you one of those $9 beers. Then you won't care about the games.:)

The Doc + 4 will be in attendance. Looking forward to more than 1 game (hopefully) as I am not bringing enough cash to spend 2 days on the boats.
Hope to see a few other ValleyTalk brothers at the Arch!

I'll be there for the 3rd year in a row. This will be my first year to get to see the championship game!!!
Hopefully the Shox are in it.

Hello My Missouri Valley Family,
I'll be 5 deep to watch what I hope is the best, exciting tournament that this country will be able to watch this weekend.
Lets all show the class, respect and total fandom to our teams and to each other. I don't want to take the law into my own hands as a result of a few loud mouth, drunk, classless fans.
Remember the white sox hat with the tribute to contreras and el duque will more than let you know that OTM is in the building and is ready for some great Valley action this weekend.
I'll reside at the Westin for 48 hours this weekend

You first timers will have a BLAST! It really is a great atmosphere and really rocks if you are winning. :)

Ill be there. Hopefully the Dogs win their play in game so I have someone else to root for besides UNI. That would be sweet if they beat the Shockers.

I will be there for the first time as I'm a freshman at siu as well. Can't wait to get there, I'm extremely excited.

Section 111. I will be there in time to watch CU vs. BU.
Course we SIUers have only a short drive!:)

Section 112, Row A... and loving it! I'm staying up there Friday and Saturday night as well at the Pavilion which is undergoing a pretty major makeover right now. Fortunately Hooters is still open! :D

I'll be driving down this afternoon with a few other students for the Birds game against Evansville. Then we're heading back home right after the game so I can take a test in my 8 am class tomorrow. If we beat Evansville, we'll be back down for the game against SIU. Then on Saturday, we'll either be back in St. Louis once again if we somehow get by, or else we're going to SIU for the Redbirds' women's basketball game against the Salukis. I'll probably be exhausted by the end of all that, but it'll sure be fun. Good luck to everyone (except those playing the Redbirds, of course), and have a safe trip down.
P.S. Those of you with all-session passes, if you'll be in town tonight, be sure to come to the ISU-Evansville game if for no other reason than our dance team will be performing at halftime. It may be (but hopefully not) the only chance you get to see them in action, so don't miss out! :p

Finally, a reason to root for ISU! :p
