Isn't this earlier than foreign trips of the past?

I may need to move this European honeymoon up one week. Glad this group gets the opportunity. I feel like they need something along those lines to solidify some chemistry with te departure of our seniors.

This will fill the void of no college basketball for a couple months. Love this.

Yeah its weird to think they'll be playing games again in another couple of weeks, such as it is. Wonder if they'll be any kind of radio broadcast on the internet, google search says Prague is 6 hours ahead of us, so like a 7PM tip would be like 1PM local time here.

I hope that they get a chance to walk across the Charles Bridge and rub the dog's head on the statue of St. John. It is supposed to bring good luck and insure a return to Prague. This particular St. John was not so lucky. The statue marks the spot from which he was thrown into the river for not divulging what the queen had told him when he heard her confession. What happens in Prague stays in Prague.

What happens in Prague stays in Prague. Classic Fastchuck. St. John of Nepomuk (the queen's confessor) drowned in the Vitava River. That is where the legend of the "Southwest Prague Floater" began. |

They will come if you PROMOTE it aggressively. Need to start working on selling the alums and students. Make it an event. "Blue and Gold pride." If you put little effort into it expect little in return. Brennan and the crew should be judged on the attendance. There I've throw the glove down. |

Defeatist Attitude. Excuses. It's a business. Go out and sell your product. If not then look for another job. |

I'm just judging based on how things went post Sweet 16. Student turnout was great if I remember correctly in the beginning but as the team struggled, the students stopped coming quickly. |

Are there tickets for these games? It's a pretty short, cheap flight for me and I'd love any excuse to go to Prague.

Yea Jermaine definitely dropped some weight. Maybe he decided to stay? Who knows.
Washington looks like he has added some weight. Also, love seeing how hard Shuler works on defense.
