Hopefully the Aggies will be able to get enough tickets for everyone wanting to take the Spectrum on Wheels!

Go home to Hurricane for Spring Break, bring all my friends, and drive the short 2 hours to Vegas for the WAC Championships. Spectrum on Wheels baby! Perfect!

Spectrum on Wheels????? Do the math. At the absolute most Aggie Fans will only get 3,000 seats. There's going to be a lot of fans without tickets and, most likely, no way to see the tournament. The change of venue to a small po-dunk arena in a far-flung corner of a sleezy casino only underscores the already widely heald notion that the WAC is a second-class conference. I lived in Vegas for years and everyone knows that the Orleans is second rate sleezy of the strip casino. Yea I agree that the site of the tournament had to be moved from UN Reno but "come on" put it some place with some class and credibiliy as a "legitimate" baskeball venue. Stupid move that also sends a bad message to quality basketball recruits to all WAC schools.

I'm pretty sure he meant for the 2011 and 2012 tournament. The one in 2010 is still in Reno.
