   Playoff football. The way it should be!

   So, now official last game at The Mac is December 5? A playoff game to see if the Salukis can play for the National Championship on December 18 in Chattanooga? Fucking AWESOME!

   12/5 would be the 2nd to last as a quarterfinal. 16 teams in all.

   11/28: Round 1 on campus.
   12/5: Quarterfinals on campus.
   12/11-12: Semifinals on campus.
   12/18: Chattanooga.

   Like you said, the way it should be.

   So, conceivably, the very very very last game at The Mac is 12-12-09?

   Can you make it down there that many times? I very much doubt I can make it once. I’d kind of like to be there when The Mac hosts it’s last event (and would be better prepared this time; I have a good t-shirt to wear), but Chattanooga would be way cool.

   If they advance in round 1, I’ll be attending the quarterfinal 12/5. That’s the only c’dale trip for me. If they reach the finals I’ll be in Chattanooga for sure.

   How does one acquire tickets for Chattanooga if they get there?

   Not an issue.

   What if my Dad wants Tix? If the Saluki’s play the Grizzlies from Montana, he may want to attend. Are you saying there should be plenty of tix available on gameday?

   Not sure about ticket demand, but I can get ‘em through the siu athletics office.

    If the Dawgs and the Grizz make it, we may want to consider doing that.

    Duly noted, but a lot would have to go right for that to happen.

    - Both teams win regular season finale.
    - Teams are seeded 1&2 on opposite ends of the bracket. (#2 Villanova probably has to lose vs. Delaware this weekend.)
    -Both teams win 3 playoff games.
