IL State Tournament 2008

Post by Nathan Gogo »

How many people are planning to go to this tournament?

I'm going to try and make it next year.

Who else is planning on going? I hope it's going to big bigger then how big it was before. It's a great tournament.

I hope to see you in April.

Hopefully a lot more people go a little out of their way to come to this tournament. It would be nice to see an increase in attendance from last year.

I dunno, maybe I wonder who though.

It's kind of far from Chicago.

I think TN and IL would be a little to much considering they're both very close to eachother. If they were farther apart in the year, then i'd probably have a much better chance of making it to the tournament.
