Mr. Kern, as usual , is correct about the practice schedules. Thursday they are scheduled to practice a little earlier in the day and for only about 1 hour time periods and they are closed. On Friday, the two remaining teams practice: 1:30 to 3:30 and 3:35 to 5:35, and they too are closed. There are also press conferences on Friday at 3:00 and at 3:35 pm. By the way, the second semi-final will start 30 minutes after the end of the 1st semi-final. There are multiple autograph sessions but the times are still a little fluid

I think with the FF just around the corner and many USC alums living in LB and Orange County, I am sure more than 150 USC fans will turn up . Heck, that arena could be rocking with the Fight On song all night long. Seriously, more USC fans will go to the FF this year than in Dallas last year or New Orleans the year before. I know of several USC friends who have even bought their tickets in September. Also, you certainly need one home-city team to pull in all those local crowd (that used to go to LBSU matches). Plus, a nice story of a hometown kid going home for play in her biggest match of her career so far. Good school choice for her. We are optimistic that what you feel may happen will in fact happen! It is no secret that there are a lot of USC alumni in the Long Beach and Orange County areas who will make the drive to Long Beach but who WILL NOT make the drive up to USC to watch a VOLLEYBALL match....football, now that's another matter

....also if you want a FF Program get it EARLY as the geniuses from the NCAA only provided us with 2,000! I love those bureaucrats! They ran out of programs last year, too. Why don't they provide more? Heck, they could even print black/white copies. Why on earth would they only print 2,000? That's my line of business, btw. Getting things printed.

Actually I'm a counterfeiter wanted in 33 states.
(Just between you and me.)

You're not a counter fitter?
I thought you were a home improvement contractor of some sort.
Seeing boxes of color printer toner in your car instead of slabs of marble makes much more sense to me now.

The thing that I really didn't like about the programs in Dallas was that they were sold at the souvenir stands. Who wants to wait 20 minutes to buy a program?
Maybe that's why they only ordered 2,000.

I think Saturday's giveaway is the back-sack bag type thing. I remember thinking that Thursday's was the one I wanted to get, but can't remember what it is (or whether I'm right in wanting it).

The better question is: how does one exchange seats ordered through the AVCA for Minnesota-seats?
Talk about your headaches! I wanna sit with JT!

Well, I question your taste ;D but....
I will have *1* extra seat (since I'm buying an ticket that I won't use, in order to get it autographed).
I promise that I won't be wearing a CSU Rams mask.

That's fine, but there will be at least 5 of us sitting in that seat. Btw, bummer about the Mrs. JT not being able to go. If anyone deserves the experience, it is she.

We just reserved our tickets to the FF this morning. I went to the Washington ticket office, but they said they didn't sell Final Four tickets and gave me the number of the Long Beach ticket office. Fortunately, on the way back to the car, I ran into Jim Mc Laughlin. He told me to call Leslie. I did and got my tickets. So, all Husky fans out there, if you want tickets, call Leslie at her office today. UW ticket office has not got a clue.
