watchtower41 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 There has been talk of terrorist activity for the last week and half surrounding the tournament. Gumble just reported that authoritites are clearing out the building and area until they get a firm grasp of what is in the package. Security is really lax for tournament events, so this doesnt surprise me, what does surprise me is that this has been known about for a couple weeks but yet, it didnt seem to hinder the scare. Call Bauer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I would imagine that the reports over the last week only hightened the scare, not reduced it. Because of those reports, a package which is probably just some sort of bag dropped somewhere will put the fear of God into everyone. Yeah, they should be careful with packages, but I bet they wouldn't have evacuated the facility had it not been for the "alerts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Looks like it's probably just a hungry bomb sniffing dog... A bomb-sniffing dog noticed something in a hot dog cart,” Beresford said. “They got a hit on something that was in the cart itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Reports are that the games will be delayed by 2 hours.... This is a good thing. There should be an old-school late game on tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The Illini won't be on until roughly 8:25. It is good though that they are making sure everything is safe instead of rushing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 So can someone tell me how exactly you can have both the Marquette/Alabama and UCLA/Belmont games from the Oakland Regional and the Washington/Utah State and Illinois/Air Force games from the Washington D.C. regional in the same stadium (Cox Arena, S.D.)? How can you have 2 regionals, based on opposite sides of the country, in the same stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably miss the Zaga game, but the game i want to see with them is their loss on Saturday anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 And what was in the box? Napkins, ketchup, and mustard. The bomb sniffing dogs must have been hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
