Planning to attend the UT game in Dayton on Wednesday night. Midweek / short notice means it will be a solo trip. Would be driving in Wednesday evening and staying overnight. Lunch Thursday in Dayton. Haven't decided if I will stay an extra night or not (leaning no, but can be persuaded). What do I need to know?

Maybe better for the travel forum, but any tips for attending the game in Dayton?

I saw a concert there. There's a bunch of hotels and restaurants right by the arena. I think I stayed at a perfectly serviceable Holiday Inn and walked to/from the concert.

The facilities seemed a little outdated in 2017, but perhaps they've been upgraded since then.

Jealous. The only Rd I’ve yet to attend.  And ftr I don’t live in or near Dayton so can’t help you there.  Did see UK/MSU play there in ‘78 Regionals.

I mean we could very well lose the first game but it's like the basketball gods want to save RT.

First Four game is against Xavier: Not even a top 40 team that doesn't have many good wins all year.

Round of 64: Notorious choker in the tournament in Underwood who has only advanced out of the 1st weekend 1 time. 

Round of 32: Potentially a Kentucky team we've already beaten.

We deserve the late game after having to deal with three 2:30PM games in a row, during a work week. 
I had to do some real juggling to look busy while watching the games.

So my coming back from music from SoCo, is who has more last stands? John Wayne... or Rodney Perry?

Just sayin'.

John Wayne died in several movies; Terry only dies once as Texas coach and that is enough.

Name the several Westerns John Wayne died in?

Off the top of my head his last movie, "The Shootist," "The Sands of Iwa Jima," "The Alamo," "The Searchers," "Stagecoach, "The Cowboys," and "The Sons of Katie Elder."

That's all I can think of.

Was that list good enough to snatch the pebble from your hand, Master Po?

I know "The Sands of Iwa Jima isn't a western, but he died in it.

I also know there is a couple of more he died in.

Frech wave. Details. Mere petty annoyances. This challenge presents Texas hoops with a superb opportunity to compete and succeed!

I would say grasshopper that when it comes to the westerns Wayne died in, 3 out of 7 correct answers only makes master Po giggle at the grasshopper. Master Po say, "Score good enough for A&M" 😉
