    Point made on timing. Unfortunately I don’t have any flexibility to adjust flights. (Work issue on Wednesday and family stuff on Sunday)  However, first thing when I arrive Thursday I’ll be setting up the apps and adding cash so I can avoid the betting window lines. 

    What about going to lesser travelled or lower quality hotels/casinos to watch the games? Tropicana etc. I will definitely check out the Westgate.

    Once you enter the Westgate Theater on Thurs I can pretty much guarantee you that you wont leave until the final game. 

    What makes it so fun is everybody in that place either has action or is a fan of a school and likely both.  Blowout games become very entertaining at the end because of the betting lines. Watching that place erupt on a "buzzer beater" in a 20 point game is a blast.

    Westgate is legit.

    It's been a while, but Ventian used to be a book where you could find a seat. Not sure about now.

    This is the among the best weekends to be in Vegas for the excitement. You been given good tips. Shame you can't make Wednesday. 

    I believe that was called Lagassi or something? I never went but heard it was very expensive even for a College Saturday. Cant imagine what it's like for March Madness

    I'm not a math guy, but thankfully excel makes life easy. So lets just go ahead and blow this fucking bullshit about eyeballs in the Big 12 vs. the SEC right out of the fucking water. Or at the very least, lets go ahead and examine the general drawing power of our program versus their program, regardless of network. First, lets go ahead and get my source of this information out of the way: http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/

    Total # of Viewers for the entire 2018 season, including championship games and bowls (all #s in Millions, including streaming where reported):

    Texas: 54.401 
    aTm: 27.081 

    Total # of regular Season viewers, removing bowl games and championship games:

    Texas: 30.804
    aTm: 21.939

    Average Viewers Per Game:

    Texas: 4.185
    aTm: 3.009

    Average Viewers Per Game Removing CCGs and Bowls:

    Texas: 2.8
    aTm: 2.74

    So by EVERY fucking metric, be it total viewers, average viewers, removing CCGs (Because aTm sucks and played in none) as well as bowl viewing (because aTm played in a shittier one with less appeal) Texas comes out ahead. Fuck, if you want to grab the aTm narrative of shitty TV contracts, and shitty networks, and shitty start times, hell, we whipped their ass despite an overwhelming handicap. So fuck them. And it gets even more interesting. That webpage, only listed 8 regular season televised games, versus 10 for UT. Now, is that because aTm plays 2 fucking pathetic non P5 out of conference games? Of course it fucking does, and of course that's fucking why. Games against Nichols St and the Northwestern State Gaping Pussies weren't listed. So while that might have brought their totals down a bit, it sure as mother fuck would have brought their average viewers per game down even fucking more. 

    Other fun facts: 13.3 million folks watched the Sugar Bowl, 10.3 million watched the B12 title game. aTm's highest viewed game of the season? Alabama at 5.65 million. Their second is the Gator Bowl at 5.142 million. Clemson was 4.48. aTm vs alabama did beat the Red River Shootout 5.65 to 5.08, but one was a noon game and the other was mid day. I'll let you guess which was which, and who the primary driver of of eyeballs was in that game. 

    In short, either no one wants to watch aTm as much as Texas, or no one can find them on TV as easily as Texas. Pick one. Actually, fuck it, the answer is both and everyone but those dunderheads knows the truth. 

     

    When UT is winning people tune in. Those are just the Facts. 

    Where did you get the LHN and SECN games?  I was under the impression those were not listed. 

  4. Lived in Vegas almost 15 years. Best place for March Madness is @ the Westgate(Formerly Hilton). NOthing else is even close.  Not the Sports book though. Go to the Showroom Theatre. That place is electric all day. Its all open seating.. Below is what they do every Sunday for NFL games. This was THE spot for NFL Sundays.   Now the games for March Madness start at about 9ish so i would arrive early because it fill sup pretty fast. 

    Few other Notes. PH is on the strip. I agree go Wed Night. 

    Open Every Sunday During the Pro Football Season!

  6. Mack was typical Fat boy that pushed around HS talent and never put in the work to become an elite DT at the next level. 

     

    Omenihu grew exactly into what Strong saw in him as an underrated HS player.
