Big basketball tournament! In DC!
- Thread starter RU fan forever
- Start date
Thanks graduate, did I mention I didn't finish
High school, obviously you don't fallow my posts, I forgive you, but if you ever make fun of me, again you would force me to ask how much money you making, and then I would tell you how much I'm making and you will be sick to your stomach and I don't want that
So take it easy and don't be an ass hole!!
Tango needs to stay home and rate the game thread. Actually, since the rating system went away, he needs other ways to stay entertained so he has to copy and paste the links to every thread ever on rivals (which he stores in a very large Microsoft Word document) and be ready at a moment's notice to paste the links back into other threads, across all boards
Apparently ticket sales for the 1st round are beyond disgraceful. Just like they were for the ACC in D.C.. I think it's safe to say that D.C. won't be getting looked at again anytime soon if the place is empty tomorrow.
I missed the reason/s the game is being held in D.C. Is this so Maryland is sort of like the home guests and Rutgers would be the home guests next year at MSG? Is that why it's in D.C.?
How much money you make? Seriously?
I wasn't going to take a side, because it's silly and all, but in an era in which being a billionaire apparently qualifies you for a Cabinet post, people who include "I would tell you how much I'm making" in any statement automatically land in Douchebag Castle.
And I've seen people get corrected for far more trivial things on this board. Deal with it.
Boring night, I agree with you
You educated ass holes should correct me
But, instead you get on high horse
I already said I'm not a college graduate
But, an educated person like you
Should not make fun, you know why?
I think they're trying to appease alumni bases that are large down there, just like NYC, BUT you're talking about getting to that arena 5 straight days which isn't easy for fans dealing with D.C. area traffic. My guess is it's much easier to get to MSG or Barclays due to mass transit.
Interesting answer to the question. I never consider my seat gift as part of my donation because it's part of the ticket purchase.
Listen all I did was ask a simple question
Most everyone on this board knows
I'm not educated, why I'm taking shit for being honest?
Oh. Okay. Thanks. I haven't paid attention to where the annual B1G basketball championships are held. Do they go around the conference or was there a traditional site for a long time?
This is a Midwest based conference. The tourney should be held in Chicago or Indianapolis every year in IMO.
Let me apologize. My initial comment was more in jest. I get flagged by the grammar police all the time. I just move along. Your second response was interesting. I'm no singling you out and I know club seats have big $ requirements. But I wonder if most season ticket holders feel that the seat gift are actually a donation. This does explain the low participation rate on the B1G build fund.
As a Maryland/DC veteran, the Metro mass transit system crushes the NYC subway, and runs right to the arena
M
I apologize to you, I'm not just a club member
But I also provide tickets for the people that can't afford them I'm not saying more
I was fortunate, I wish the same for you
The only advice I will give you, don't judge a book by its cover, i know you hear this before
But I can tell you is true, I'm not educated
But I sent three kids to Rutgers
One went on to NYU for masters two are finishing
Phd programs I don't know what all means
But I know I did my best, hope you have same
Accomplishment with your kids
I come to this country when I was eleven
In my country I was the flag bearer in my school
This means I was best in school
When I come to this wonderful country
I didn't speak English I struggled to learn i shine shoes in time square for the pimps
Eventually I bought a building and the rest is history, I'm not proud that I don't go to college
But I did the best I could!

ACC is also rotating. They are in the Barclays this year. I think B1G and the Big East will both be at the MSG one year.
Didn't realize that, my bad, but there are enough B1G alumni living IN Manhattan alone to fill that place for a couple of weeks.
I tend to agree as long as you don't need a ride too late at night or they are doing maintenance and you have to wait 45 minutes for a train.
Lots of BIG alum in metro DC. Will be in DC tomorrow. Looking to pick up a couple tixs for RU game. Taking a buddy whose a Mich St alum to RU game and he's taking me to MSU game the next day. Should be fun. Hoping I can stay late next day for game against NW.
BTW, the Verizon Center, site of tournament, is one of the best mass transit friendly arenas in the country including MSG. I'm amtraking it down and then taking DC Metro a couple of stops directly to the arena. Awesome commuting.
GO RU

With all due respect, transportation has nothing to do with any potential attendance problems at this tournament. The Capitals play in the same area and routinely sell out, and I believe the Wizards attendance is way up this year, too. The arena is right off Metro and despite its imperfections, anyone who wants to go will have no problem doing so, especially for the many games in non-peak hours. The question is whether anyone will care if/when Maryland is eliminated. I guarantee you the B1G brass is hoping the Terps go all the way to the finals.
Forever,
Just curious.You have a compelling story!! What is your country of origin and what year did you come to the U.S.?
This must be a joke. The DC metro could be the worst transportation system in the country. Accidents, major delays, huge cost overruns and significant reductions in service are just some of the issues that have plagued the metro over the last few years. All that for a system built 70 years after the NYC subway and that doesn't even come close to running nearly as many hours as the NY/NJ Transit system does. The metro closes at midnight yet they can't even get their track mantainence taken care of during overnight hours. Do you even watch the news about all the problems metro has had?

If any fellow RU fans want to meet up, I'll be at Bar Louie with the alumni association before the game tonight. I also live in DC right next to Verizon center so I'm very familiar with the area. If anyone needs directions or restaurant/bar suggestions, email me at sshah1972 at y.a.h.o.o.com.
Go RU!!!
