At the Philly airport decked out in my LaSale gear with my wife. I am saying to myself is this a Twilight Zone scenerio or am I going to board a plane in a few minutes to watch my alma mater play in the Sweet 16. Go Explorers. I hope to get a picture with Cousin Bern!

At terminal. Met a bunch of students decked out in LaSalle gear making the trip. They didnt know how to get tickets so they got them on stub hub sitting way up. I didn't want that for us LaSalle fans. I told them them to make their way down and we will make room. They had on their South west Philly floater shirts. I am trying to post the picture if I can figure it out how to do it. ALSO WE GOT PRIORITY BOARDING!!! The guy announced all LaSalle fans going to the game come and now and board the plane . We cheered. It's all coming back to me!!

Article after article I read just keeps repeating what good kids we have. I was confused by one part of your post where you said to the students to come down to the lower level and you will make room. I hope you know in big stadiums they have guards who check tickets. Also you will have actual seats. The staple center does not have bleachers where you can squeeze in and make room for others. I think I get it, you are in a great mood and you are being 150% positive, again enjoy the trip, I hope its the best weekend of your life.

Yea rather than have a charter limo pick me up at my home... I honestly prefer the way we EXPLORERS have scraped it together and travel by any means necessary to these games. Everyone else who was on these dozen or so planes carrying la salle people today will see us and it will remind them we have a big game tonight, and loyal supporters for la salle. I even had a wichita fan wish.us luck today.

Yes about the seats. Figures if we stood the whole time type of thing. I called the alumni for them and they have 4 for them but they have got to dump theirs. Also for those worried about my tix post Alumni office will only sell to LaSalle alumni or students!!!! I will post about my experience so all who couldn't make it will be here.

LaSalle family. The students I linked up with here could not get on our connecting flight to LA. I grabbed them and took them right up to the counter and gently explained that my LaSalle brothers WILL BE GETTING ON THIS PLANE AND WILL BE IN CALI FOR THEIR EXPLORERS! I just got on with the last guy. They had to offer $400 to get people off the plane so our guys could get on! Onto Cali!

You learn to think on your feet and orally win your point. Good for you. GO EXPLORERS

It's absolutely unreal that we're essentially hijacking planes.
The school and the program will never be the same after this.

Just touched down!!!! How do I post pictures from my IPhone onto here!! If You're using the mobile app, There should be a 'picture' icon (sorta looks like a tiny picture of a mountain with the sun behind it) in the reply window.

There is no icon. Oh well. I will give you the play by play by text. I will have a a young fan look at it for me. I grew up with a rotary phone and kept a dime in my pocket for emergency phone calls. Got onto the Alamo rental bus and was greeted by some gorgeous LaSalle girl all decked out ready for the game!!!! WE ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!
