And going back through some stuff, Bramlage is not the building that was presented in the original discussion. Not even close. It was supposed to be round and have two levels. Limestone on the outside. And was supposed to hold 16k.

Ahearn is in use today because they made the requisite upgrades to the facility to allow up to 6500 fans to watch a game. But even when I was a kid it was a raised floor over dirt. You could look up to the ceiling from the outer concourse and see the dirt in in the air above the scoreboard. I had a lot of fun there.

Great stuff man. I love talking about history, esp alt history that never was. I’m weird like that.

There’s no true “dominant” buzzsaw at the top this year (2012 Kentucky, 2018 Nova, etc). This year would be as good a year as any for you all to do it.

Anyway the point is: this is a great year to have a great year. Some team is making Houston this year that is a head scratcher. Maybe two. Maybe three? I like AZ and Tenn but I don’t love them. Everyone else goes into the ping pong basket, nba Lotto style
