Cassie and I had one of the most amazing basketball experiences of our lives this week. Let me tell you how it all played out...#4 SDSU was to play #9 BYU in the Marriott Center
They had announced to everyone that only 5000 students were going to be allowed into the game and 1000 tickets (wristbands actually) would be handed out the day before starting at 11 am, first come first
serve. Those with wristbands were guaranteed a seat, and then on game day it would just be first come first serve. Knowing this, Cassie and I had given up on being able to go to the game because we both worked all day the day before and Cassie had classes until pretty late on game day, so from pretty early we were trying to find someone who would be getting the game (why the heck was it even broadcast on CBS College, nobody gets that channel!) Well, around 6 pm the day they handed out the wristbands I got an email informing everyone that they were handing out 5000 wristbands and there were still about half available, so I grabbed Cassie and we got over to the Marriott Center as fast as possible to get our own wristbands... and we did!!!!We just happened to get our wristbands at the exact same time as Mitch a
nd Elayna, so we all ended being in line together on game day, and then sitting next to each other in the stands. We didn't have the best seats (nosebleed) but for this game that didn't really matter. The excitement and atmosphere was amazing no matter where you were sitting. they had everyone with wristbands show up 3-4 hours before the game started, and then only let us all in 2 hours before the game started, so we were all outside freezing, but it was worth it!!!The game was awesome to watch and the place was so loud we thought we were going to go deaf!!! It was great! I almost lost my voice (probably a good thing I didn't or I wouldn't have been able to work today). You all know the rest of the story.
BYU 71 - SDSU 58.
