  My wife or I travel to Canton every weekend. I think I will take advantage of this.

  My girlfriend and I went to all the games yesterday. A blast! It was her introduction to DI basketball, both Ohio DI and college DI athletes.

  How much were tickets? Did you tailgate? How many hotdogs did you have? 3 napkins or 4?

  Tickets were $12.00 at the gate , but pit was on his laptop most of the time. Calipari from Kentucky was there , possibly scouting a stats guy like pit

  LoL @ both of you. The only time I used my laptop was between the 5th and 6th games when my phone was dying and needed something to charge it.

  So you were within arm's reach of Calipari when he was there, eh?

  3 guys from Clear Fork between us.
  
  It's going to be a 2 day event next year, easily the best games at any local sites, and by far better than the Hoover games on MLK weekend.
• thePITman

  

  Hoover's Pizza Oven Classic or whatever it's called has been going downhill fast for a while.

  Mercy Medical , and yes it has been on the downslide from it's beginnings. All the guys I meet up with at games at the fieldhouse come tourney time and the Smitty classic , say they skipped it this year. It cost way to much for the poor matchups this year. Next years 2 day D4D shootout looks very good.

  I would like to check out a couple of games next year.

  The woman and I are going. On the way home, she was reading that it's a 2-day event next year, and she wants us to plan ahead and make sure we save the dates.
