Mountain West Men's Bball Championship in Vegas: How to Get There

Like many, I have a special place in my heart for Las Vegas (as you can tell by my previous blog posts...) Disneyland claims to be the "happiest place on earth" but in my opinion, it doesn't hold a candle to Vegas! Their coined phrase alone is it's own selling point, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Add college basketball (and college basketball players) to the equation and it's an amazing weekend! Which is why it is absolutely perfect that the Conoco Mountain West Men's Basketball Championship is held there.

The problem is, may of us are poor college students (I'll be the first to admit that I consider Cup of Noodles a major food group and save my 7-11 cups for cheaper Diet Coke refills). I can't afford to cruise to Vegas whenever the mood strikes (which is...EVERY weekend...)

However, I finally have the perfect solution to this problem. Enter the CBS College Sports $1000 Tourney Tix Sweepstakes! Not only will you win tickets to the game, but also $1000!

This Sweepstakes ends March 2nd and currently only a little over 8,000 people are registered. EIGHT THOUSAND. For an online contest those are AMAZING odds.

You have nothing to lose and a whole LOT to gain!

The happiest place on earth....VEGAS (yes...I won a nickel. WHOO HOO)

ESPN College Game Day Comes to Utah!

I was hesitant to write a post about ESPN College Game Day being held at the U of U...for obvious reasons (we got killed...for lack of better words)

However, despite the outcome of the game, it was pretty big deal to have ESPN film College Game Day in Salt Lake City. And again, despite the loss, it was a very eventful day. I should insert the word "long" as well...because the festivities began at 5:45AM.

Let the record show that I am not a morning person, not even a little bit. It's extremely hard for me to make my 9:10AM marketing research class...9:10! I, however, was committed to joining the rest of my college peers and arriving at the stadium at an hour I hadn't seen since my high school years.

The pain and suffering of opening my eyes at 5:30 was well worth it. There were so many students! And ESPN! It really was an event I will cherish from my college years (and hopefully the memory of the awful loss will fade...)

5:45AM at the Rice Eccles Stadium....with my bestie of course!

Tailgating with my Pi Phi Lovers.

BLACKOUT GAME!
