No, tell them that college basketball is a superior game to the pro game. The NBA obviously has superior players and LeBron is one of them. Perhaps you can convert one of every four or five.

This is a big game. I've convinced four people from work to attend, (although one needs to find a babysitter so his wife can come too. )
We all should be beating the drums and urging everyone we know to attend. Yeah some coverage from the Journal would be nice but even if we get any, it will be on Saturday when most people have already planned their evening.
Besides word of mouth is the best way to drum up support.

With Holic at a wedding and my friends competing in a battle of bands in Green Bay, basically the whole front-right side of the student section is going to be missing. (well... okay, at least three people.)
I'm telling every single person I know about how big this game is. Remember to tell people that Hawaii whoooped up on MSU.

I will be going down with seven others that I have convinced to go to the game. I think it's realistic for us to draw around 7,000 people for this game. Even with the bucks playing. I was at the St. Louis game ans it drew 4,300 with a snow storm and a bucks game.

uhathletics.hawaii.edu/sport.html?p=8This is only the second road game of the year for Hawaii, the first being at UNLV. I assume they will be arriving on Friday afternoon/evening. Temps should be in the mid teens. I can't imagine how that wouldn't be a slight advantage for us.

While I dont think that the temp should matter since this is hoops and not football, playing in Milwaukee is still a HUGE advantage for us. Hawaii is an excellent home team and a poor road team. The biggest reason for this has to be travel. Then again if I lived where it was 80 all year and got off the plane and it was 10 it would dampen my spirits more than a tad. This could be an interesting game. I am not sold on Hawaii being a good team just yet. However, with their upset over MSU is looking like a better win with each game MSU plays. Hopefully, this potential win could be a nice resume builder for us come March as long as Hawaii does not fall on its face (or us for that matter).
I know am a looking forward to being at the game Saturday with friends (far away from the books) and the miller lite in my stomach will keep me warm no matter the temp outside.

Tell them if there not sitting in the first three rows they can watch Lebron's highlights on Plasma screens after the game and save a bundle of cash. |

Temps should be in the mid teens. I can't imagine how that wouldn't be a slight advantage for us. i would think jet lag would be of a hinderance (sp?) than the temp. Hawaii to LA is long enough, now add another 3.5 and that'll screw w/ your clock. |
