Sun Bowl Invite

[becher33]

Just wondering, are these games going to be televised or not?

[colhusker]

I would go to Huskers.com and check.

I would go to Huskers.com and check.

As of now www.huskers.com is not saying anything. I really hope it will be on television and not ESPN3.

[hhcmatt]

As far as I know, there is absolutely no television coverage of this tourney.

You can't even buy a crappy web feed.

Here is the direct link to the official tournament page: http://www.sunbowl.org/game-a-events/don-haskins-sun-bowl-invitational

However, I can't find anything mentioning anything about televised games. Doesn't look good.

Watched a bit of the Oregon/UTEP game.

UTEP is running a box and 1, Oregon is having trouble.

If Oregon would have played this way against us we might of had a chance that night.

From Shamus McKnight our basketball SID's twitter page, he says games are radio only.

That is a bummer, when we were in the Big 12 I was able to watch every game with dish network, admittedly sometimes they were pretty obscure channels (I remember one was on the Texas Tech University network and it looked like it was being recorded and aired with an iPhone.)

[hhcscott]

I'm sitting in the Hilton four blocks from the Don Haskins Center. Tickets for section T row one were $20 bucks a day so $40 gets me into all 4 games.

Five hour drive from Tucson for us to get here but we did not get a mariachi welcome. Of course we didn't have to come through a blizzard either.

We had a lovely dinner at a near-campus place called Crave Kitchen and are going boot shopping today at the local boot makers for the wife. I get hoops she gets boots.

[jimmykc]

Tony Lamas are the best.

[cipsucks]

Scott, we expect live updates from the game. You can give boot updates, too, if you'd like.

Don't try the salsa down there. You'll be disappointed. After cipsalsa, everything else falls a little short.....

[jimmykc]

Check out the view from Skyline drive after dark if you have time. And do not , repeat DO NOT, plan to see the sights in Juarez while you are there.

[hhcscott]

Tony Lamas are the best.

That's really helpful. The only boots she has are ones she picked up at a mall. The idea of getting her some custom fitted, locally made, boots has her all excited about the trip. (To be fair she sat next to me and cheered on our Husker hoops teams from 1990-94 so she's happy to be going to the games as well)

[hhcscott]

Cip,

I agree on the salsa but you need to add a chipotle aoli to your holiday gift pack because they made the tenderloin tacos to die for. ;-)

I know your stake in the beef industry (pun intended) makes you a big fan of all things con carne.

No interest in Juarez. Living in Tucson I made some border town visits before safety became a real problem. It's a damn shame people have to live in fear for their safety.

I hope you brought your smartphone and a good wi-fi connection, Scott.

I brought the smartphone but I'm not sure on the wifi in the arena. Wish I could stream it live from the phone to the site.

We all wish you could!!!

hhscott: Tell your wife that my Tony Lamas lasted more than twenty years and were worn lots. I used to have a poncho like my avatar wore in his spaghetti westerns and wear them together. My own wife, who once talked to Clint for a few minutes, disposed of both items when I began to resemble Jack Elam more than Clint. (I'm making none of this up)

[Huskerpapa]

I don't know Jimmy, some people can look pretty good in those poncho's...

Buy one get one 40% off sale got her a pair of Tony Lamas and a pair of Justin's. One pair is Husker red. They had some boots with college logos but no Huskers.

[jimmykc]

Nice. Should make your trip memorable whatever the outcome tonight. Get back to me in about twenty years and let me know which pair is holding up the best.
