How can you afford to travel to all of these games?

Mostly my money is earned through demeaning prostitution of my body on street corners in Austin. But in all honesty, the trips are done in the smartest fashion possible. Gas and hotels are split as many ways as we can and free tickets are utilized at every opportunity. The real fact of the matter is that while most other folks are enjoying trips to sunny locales during the summer, I’m hard at work saving cash to travel the country from November to April. College basketball is my vacation.

Okay, but how much have you spent on all of these trips?

More than I’d probably care to know. If I ever took the time to fire up Quicken and run a report using the “Road Trip” category, I’m sure I’d see a huge, ugly number staring back at me in red font. But why would I want to do that?

Why are the photos only updated through the middle of last season?

Unfortunately, I’m often working 40 hours a week in addition to attending two games (one of which is usually on the road) and trying to keep this site filled with daily content. And up until December, you could include my final few college classes in that busy mix, which resulted in a noticeable lack of time to do all that I needed to do. At this point, I have likely thousands of photographs, a few dozen videos, and tons of stories from the road that are just waiting to be shared. Once the current season ends, I’ll turn my attention not only to the end of the NBA season, but also to preparing all of that content for the website….which I suppose will also keep this place full of new things to see and read until the season starts up again in the fall.

Why won’t the Google Map load more than one basketball on my computer?

Right now, the Google Map feature (which only includes last season’s games) seems to be working in Firefox. I have heard that Internet Explorer users are experiencing this problem, and as of yet I do not have a solution. As with the photos, videos, and trip logs, that is something I will be devoting more attention to in the off-season.

How many consecutive games have you attended?

Following the second-round win over Miami in Little Rock, I’ve now gone to 78 consecutive Texas games, dating back to the Big 12 Tournament championship game against Kansas in 2006. The streak also includes a bunch of other games not involving Texas, and I hope to add more non-Texas games and arenas to the itinerary in the 2008-09 season.

As always, I’m willing to answer questions via e-mail and the comments section on the website. If I start to get a lot of the same questions that aren’t addressed on this page, you can be sure I will update it to appease the masses. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your visit!
