Day One from Kansas City

...And there will be a day two because Michigan took down Clemson in a great opening round NCAA Tourney win!



I sat in row SIXTEEN at the lovely Sprint Centre in the heart of Kansas City, and the Michigan section was crammed full and loud.

After a 10 hour car drive, arriving in town approximately 4:30 pm local time, we wandered down to the great big party plaza to watch the Michigan Band perform (rocked the joint), and moved into the Sprint Centre to watch warmups.

Thoughts:

--Sprint Centre is ridiculously nice...and it's not even regularly used by a sports team.
--Michigan Fans were the 6th Man at this game without a doubt. No one else in the arena was pulling for Michigan, and the one small section was louder than the entire place.
--Manny stepped up and had the game of his life when Michigan needed him most.
--Bonus points to the Michigan cheerleaders for looking hotter than Clemson
--Blake and Taylor Griffin connected for three half-court alley-oops during the Oklahoma-Morgan State game, but Morgan State's band was the most entertaining of the night.

...Michigan has a good shot to beat Oklahoma if they play exactly like they did tonight. just cut down the turnovers. An amazing night, Go Blue !
