North Carolina Trip: Day 4- Duke

1/29/2020

The highlight of our trip- Cameron Indoor Stadium. We got to see Duke face Pittsburgh on the Duke campus. This is the first time I've ever seen Duke play and it was pretty amazing just being in the gym. The game ended up being somewhat close but Duke never really gave up control. Earlier in the day we stopped by the NC State campus to visit the Reynolds Coliseum where the Wolfpack won 2 NCAA championships before moving to the PNC Arena. They have a pretty athletics museum there with a focus on basketball but also including several other sports and famous alumni.

North Carolina Trip: Day 2- Wake Forest

Day 2 started with a bit of a drive to Winston-Salem, NC to see Wake Forest play Virginia. And in case you were thinking Wake Forest University is in Wake Forest, NC; it's not. We got there plenty early for the noon tip off and made our routine trip around the arena to take it all in. The Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum is turning 30 years old this year but was a pretty nice building as far as I could tell. The concourse had banners for famous basketball alumni, both women and men. Tim Duncan was my favorite, as a Spurs fan. But I also didn't realize Muggsy Bogues went to WFU.

North Carolina Trip: Day 1- UNC

On my list of 7 historic college gyms, Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium is at the top. I've always been a Duke basketball fan but have never seen them play in person. Even though I've been to 8 Final Fours, still no Duke. But this year is the year. When the ACC conference schedule came out last year we began looking at potential options for a trip to see Duke play and add on any other games that we could. Apparently the ACC schedule makers knew and put together quite a 4 day stretch- North Carolina, Wake Forest, NC State, and Duke. 5 days and 5 games (we added on Texas at TCU when we return to Texas).

Opening Day of College Basketball 2019

11/5/2019

 
College basketball is finally here! I pretty excited about this basketball for several reasons but probably the most because of the games I will hopefully get to see. I've got a couple of different trips planned to see some different teams and new arenas. Plus there are always last minute adds, like the Baylor game yesterday.

Gallagher-Iba Arena at Oklahoma State University
Most of you know one of my goals is to visit 7 historic college basketball gyms and so far I've seen a game in 3 of the gyms. This past weekend I had the chance to drive up to Stillwater, OK and see my team, the Texas Longhorns, play Oklahoma State at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The outcome of the game wasn't what I was hoping for but the rest of the trip was pretty awesome! Here's a little bit about our trip:

Part 2: Trip to Tennessee and Kentucky

2/11/2015

To say the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team is a big deal would be an understatement.

8 National Championships. Big Blue Nation. #1 in the Nation. 24,000 fans in Rupp Arena.

My dad and I have been to games that included the Wildcats, in fact 3 of 4 Final Fours we've attended have included Kentucky, but never have we been able to experience Kentucky in Rupp Arena.
