I would be there if I didn't have a trip already planned. I hope the response to this post is not indicative of how many are going to show. For having such a good team we have really poor road attendance.

There are lots of alumni in Colorado though! When I was a student, most of the students were from Texas, California and colorado

Me +1. Sic Em.

How will our fans and TCU fans behave in Denver?

Although we are in different brackets, we both have our first/second rounds in Denver.

We will be in different sessions on Friday. It was the same situation last year in Ft. Worth with KU. And back in 2014, we were in San Antonio for the first 2 rounds and shared it with IowaSt in a different bracket.

Note: lower bowl seats are preferred at pepsi, err, ball.

that arena goes very vertical in the mid / upper sections.

FYI.

go bears!

UCSB looks to be a solid club.

88-80 bruins.

Also, legroom is nonexistent there, even in the lower bowl.

With all apologies to Houston, Alabama, Kansas and Purdue, Denver was the biggest winner when the 2023 NCAA Tournament bracket came out late Sunday afternoon.

We got something for everybody.

Well, except tickets.

The Big Dance is coming back to Chopper Circle for the first time since 2016, and it's back with a vengeance.

We got two No. 3 seeds with a championship pedigree (Gonzaga, Baylor). We got two No. 6 seeds with top-shelf resumes and top-shelf fans (Creighton, TCU). We got an 11 seed with blueblood descent (NC State).

We got Gauchos (UC Santa Barbara). We got Antelopes (Grand Canyon). And they've got hope.

Wanna know why? Over the past eight first-round games played in Denver, four ended in upsets. In March 2011, just one day alone saw wins here by a 13 seed (Kenneth Faried's Morehead State), a 12 seed (Richmond) and an 11 seed (Gonzaga). Strange things happen when that One Shining Moment hits a Mile High.

We got storylines up the patootie. We got the highest over-under of any game in the Dance, as the folks at BetOnline.ag have put the over-under on Gonzaga-GCU at 155.5.

We got family. We got a reunion of the Drew brothers, with Scott's Baylor Bears kicking things off at 11:30 Friday morning against those pesky Gauchos. And Bryce's GCU Lopes launching the evening session by trying to upset the Zags at 5:30 p.m.

We got the son of former Nuggets star LaPhonso Ellis, Walter Ellis, a 6-5 guard for GCU and a transfer from Bucknell.

We got stars. We got Baylor freshman Keyonte George, arguably the best freshman in the country, a 6-foot-4 rainmaker who dropped 20 on Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse.

We got TCU guard Mike Miles Jr., who might be the best collegiate guard in the country, period. The Big 12's Preseason Player of the Year backed up the hype by leading the Froghorns more on that name in a second to 21 victories, including a massive one over KU in Lawrence.

We can go long with Creighton's 7-foot-1 center Ryan Kalkbrenner (15.4 points, 6.4 boards per game), or deep with Gonzaga guard Julian Strawthorn, who comes to the Front Range with 72 3-point makes and a 42.6% clip from beyond the arc on his CV.

We got legacies. The aforementioned Zags are 3-1 all-time in Denver since the tourney expanded in 1985. That's tied for second among NCAA tourney dancers over th..........

Second reference to the Froghorns this week....

One would think that in order to have a championship pedigree, one would need to actually win a championship...

And TCU fans are "top-shelf" only if somebody at Spec's mistakenly stocked the bottles of Popov and Taaka in the space usually filled by Grey Goose and Skyy....

Jealous wish I could be there in person. Cheer loud!
