Yesterday looked like a good couple of games. I got up here yesterday and will be heading out later this morning. Like you, I have tickets for game 1 today but will be watching my ticketmaster app throughout the day for ticket prices to drop for tonights game.

That strategy worked for me back in 2022. I will be here until Tuesday, so will take in both games today, both Sunday, and both Monday...If I can get done with work quick enough Monday morning.

I went in 2022 and going again this year. In 2022 I flew in and got a rental and stayed in Fremont. Just drove in each morning (30 min drive) and paid to park. Some lots are first come first serve, others you can reserve online.

This year I am staying in Lincoln and driving up each morning and will park at a lot or garage downtown. I made the decision to go so late that I did not feel like using that many Hilton points to stay downtown and I do not mind a 45-50 minute drive each morning.

You can avoid those hotels prices and stay in Lincoln or Fremont. There’s lots of public parking around the ballpark through the city you can purchase online.

But yes, downtown is high as giraffes vagina…I travel a lot so I have points to burn.
I think I’m going up Thursday or Friday and coming back Tuesday.

Watch two Hogs games, catch other games as well. I pulled the same length of trip our last time in Omaha.

Don't you just love how they made sure to pit the two remaining SEC teams against one another to avoid another All SEC finale.


Stop blaming the committee. Start blaming all the SEC top 16 seeds who folded like a cheap tent in regionals and Supers.

SEC teams were spread out all across the brackets on both sides.


Just fast forward to only Vitello speaking and start listening.
For those that think Vitello doesn’t want the Arkansas job when DVH retires…go watch his post game presser.

2022 was our last Super. Last two seasons were out in Regionals.
