Guys,
Just wondering if you have any advice on how to get a ticket to the opening round on Friday in Raleigh? I'm only wanting to see the IU/Arkansas game at 9:40pm (being a diehard IU fan) and I just need one ticket (my wife is a UK fan).
Do you think it would be possible to get a ticket from a scalper on the street at night time? Or is the only way to get them is in the morning when the games start?
I'm used to showing up the day of a game and just buying a ticket before tip-off or right after. I've never gone to a Tourney game before, though.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you are coming up US1 I would tell you to hit 40W like you are going towards Durham/RDU Airport. Then take what I believe is exit 290 (54/Chapel Hill Rd.) and turn left at the light. I believe the 3rd light is NE Maynard .. take a right there. Keep going about 8 miles ... you will pass a Volvo Dealership on the left - keep going as the road goes up a hill and around a left curve, you will see an Atlantic Tire on the left. Cardiacs is attached to the Tire place. If you pass the turn, you can go to the light and make a Uturn.
The important thing is their hours: Mon/Tues/Thur/Fri 5pm-9pm, Sat 12pm-9pm Closed Sun/Wed

boogie, here is a whole bunch of crap b/c i am trying to avoid doing work...the doherty years have been chronicled repeatedly...there was alot more to his tenure than felton, mays and mccants...each one of those players has recruiting and playing stories of doherty that go beyond the simple notion that roy took doherty's players to a championship...the years following dean were impossible years for anyone to step into...when k retires, duke will be faced with tough decisions and people will be critical of whoever gets the job...people can say whatever they want about dawkins, but players come to duke for K, not relationships they build with dawkins or whoever during recruiting. k is duke, not anyone else. when k leaves, duke will be lucky if they don't face the same dropoff that unc dealt with. smith was unc. i love roy, but he ain't dean. he is the closest thing we can get to dean, but he will have to continue to build his legacy and will continue to be compared to dean. i think the post-dean years have proven that most schools generally only get one great coach for an EXTENDED period of time. if roy coaches another 10 years, he will still only be at unc as head coach half the time dean was...look at indiana and knight and how much of a disaster that has turned into. the current great programs may have long histories and several coaches that win, but most of them became great programs b/c of one great coach that stayed at a school for a really long time...

just saw this jonathan in skimming back over some posts. the post before this i asked if everyone was in. next you said you weren't in it for the $$. in my opinon the $ side of the bet was off at this point brad. or so i thought. guess i thought wrong. i have been wrong more times in my life than i have been right.
I'm not pressing the issue. I thought all were in for the money except Fenway (4 out of the 5 who entered). I'm paying b/c if I'd have had the best score of all those in the $ I would have expected those who said they were in to pay. Just my opinion. On a lesser hostile note Ed, I would like your 12" Bettis if you could work a partial cash/partial trade. Maybe 30 bucks and some trade stuff to equal what you were asking. LMK

Sorry for the confusion, guys...I was asked to join before anyone wanted to put money on it. I thought it was pretty clear from my original post. I was entered, but not in for the $$$, since I really put no thought into my picks, and was already entered in some other pools for $$$. Guess I should have just opted out to make it more simple. Shouldn't really be a big deal.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina coach Roy Williams says he has met with Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington about a possible leap to the NBA.
In an interview on the school's Web site posted Thursday, Williams said he has completed paperwork so the NBA's undergraduate advisory committee can examine the trio's draft prospects. He also plans to contact five NBA teams before meeting again with the players.

I had a really good time at the Red/White game Saturday. The meet and greet was pretty cool, all the players seemed really generous. Plus I got to meet Manny Lawson, he was a pretty cool guy as well. After the game, we went to Crabtree Valley to kill some time...and who do we see there? Gavin Grant. I shake his hand and talk for a little bit and keep walking. Two stores later....I see JJ Hickson. Of course I have to stop and say hello. I shake his hand and have a 15-20 min conversation with him. JJ is a really cool guy and I hope he does well in the NBA. Well, thats my weekend story.

I wouldn't rush if that's what time you're going to make it there. There's going to a TON of people trying to get in around that time, so the lines will be long. Plus, with Kazmir starting, he's going to be in his preparations, and with almost 100% certainty, won't be signing beforehand.

I did not finally go down. I had a conference call at 2:30 P.M. that lasted until after 3 P.M.

early roll call for Dre BLy Event

Great to see everyone out at the Bly Golf Outing! El Cid, I bet Tre was pumped when you showed him your haul for the day. Air can't wait to see that Framed Bly Jersey in your man room and Zuba guess I will see you at the next show!
Not sure if HUTCH posts or not but it was great to meet a new collector.
Here is some info on who Dre Bly is Black n Gold
High school and College
Bly graduated from Western Branch High School in Chesapeake. In high school, he was an all-state football player as well as a decorated baseball player. He has cited Deion Sanders as one of his childhood idols.
In his freshman season at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Bly received all-American honors. He is only one of five players in NCAA history to achieve this honor (Tony Dorsett, Herschel Walker, Bjorn Merten, and Marshall Faulk being the others) [1]. Bly was the only football player in UNC and ACC history to receive consensus 1st team All-America honors three times in his college career. In his sophomore year, he was one of three finalists for the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Year Award.
NFL career
1999 NFL Draft
The St. Louis Rams selected Bly in the second round of the 1999 NFL Draft, as the 41st overall pick.
Bly, at 186 pounds, ran a 4.51 second 40-yard dash, 4.09 second 20-yard shuttle, 7.10 3-cone drill, and had a vertical jump of 34 1/2 inches at the 1999 NFL Combine[1]
[edit] St. Louis Rams
Bly started his career in St. Louis playing there for 4 years. While with the Rams, Bly won a Super Bowl for Super Bowl XXXIV, and appeared two years later, when the Rams lost to the New England Patriots.
[edit] Detroit Lions
In 2003, Bly left the St. Louis Rams and signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions. He made the Pro Bowl in two of his seasons with the team.
On November 29, 2005, the day after Lions head coach Steve Mariucci was fired, Bly told the NFL Network that if their back-up quarterback, Jeff Garcia, had been healthy the entire season, the Lions would be in a better situation, and Mariucci would still be coaching the team. He has since apologized, albeit not to Joey Harrington, the Lions starting quarterback that season.
[edit] Denver Broncos
On March 1, 2007, Bly was traded by the Detroit Lions to the Denver Broncos for running back Tatum Bell, offensive tackle George Foster, and a 5th round draft pick. On March 28, 2007, the Denver Broncos and Bly agreed to a 5-year, $33 million contract. The contract includes $18 million in bonus money and $16 million guaranteed. [2]
Bly finished the 2007 season as the Broncos leader in interceptions with five.
The Broncos restructured Bly's contract on February 18, 2008 to free up salary cap space and keep Bly on the team. [3]

My wife and I just returned from Baltimore. We went to the Nationals and Orioles game last night. It felt like football weather as temperatures were in the mid 50's with the winds blowing at around 20 MPH. I love Camden Yards...I still think Camden is the most beautiful park in baseball but PNC in Pittsburgh is a very close second. I could have gotten Boog Powell's autograph but passed. I got his auto on a couple of pics and a baseball several years ago. Overall...a great time!!!

Glad you had fun, Ron ! We were just up with my 3 kids Wed and Thurs...went to the 3PM Wednesday Red Sox - Orioles game, and saw former Red Sox Jay Payton hit a nasty Grand Slam to beat us 6-3. Still was fun, and Camden yards is definitely a very nice stadium. Your fig is in the mail !

I went to the casino party the night before and got Champ Bailey 5 times 2 8 x 10's, 2 SP's, Broncos jersey, Greg Ellis on 4 8 x 10's, Alge Crumplee on a 8 x 10 & Falcons jersey, Ken Huff on a card, old program from the UNC vs state game in Charlotte w/ Dre & Torry Holt on it got signed by both, old school State mini signed by Torry Holt and Butch Davis on a 8 x 10. Went to the Tim Mcgraw concert on Saturday night with the wife & daughter, Jason Aldean gave his towel to my daughter & one of his guitar players gave here a pick. One of Tim Mcgraws guitar players gave her a pick & the drummer gave her one of his sticks & got a ticket stub signed by Tim Mcgraw and it was a GREAT SHOW.

Congrats Heehizzle. Now, it sounds like you need some new frames for all those 8x10's. So what I'll do is take that Champ Jersey off your hands in exchange for a few matted frames. It is the least I could do. HEEHIZZLE_MY NIZZLE!!

Airfan...are you heading down to Durham today? Buchholz is actually on the Pawsox roster and according to the Red Sox website there will be no more roster moves until at least Tuesday. However the expected roster move will be Justin Masterson to the Red Sox to take DiceK's place. I am probably going to be there around 3 or so.
