[FONT=Arial]So maybe you’re thinking there is no way you can make the trip to the Final Four in [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Houston[/FONT][FONT=Arial]. It’s too expensive, it’s too far away, you have no where to stay, or you don’t have tickets….do those excuses sound familiar? [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Here are some tips to help you make it past a few of those minor setbacks:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]1) [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Shack up with Patrick Patterson or Chuck Hayes. If you can’t afford a hotel I’m sure two of our favorite all time Wildcats and current Houston Rockets will be happy to open the doors of their mansions to a few Big Blue fans.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]2) [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Hitchhike. I’m sure if you posted up on I-65, the [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Bluegrass Pkwy[/FONT][FONT=Arial], or I-75 dressed in a pair of Jorts and a final four T-shirt, some generous member of the big blue nation will let you hop in and ride along. After all, we are one big happy family right?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]3) [/FONT][FONT=Arial]If you don’t have tickets don’t worry! Come on down, find a spot at a local establishment, and enjoy [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial]’s first trip to the Final Four in 13 years. There is no doubt you will be amongst other fellow blue believers as [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Houston[/FONT][FONT=Arial] will be a Southwest version of [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Lexington[/FONT][FONT=Arial].[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Now that I’ve given you some options, there are no excuses. This will be the time of your life and well worth the trip. Pack up your blue and your freshly ironed pair of cut off jorts, put your [/FONT][FONT=Arial]UK[/FONT][FONT=Arial] flags on the car, gas up and head south. The Big Blue Nation is taking over [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Houston[/FONT][FONT=Arial], I hope you are ready![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]GO CATS![/FONT]
