Texas vs. Colorado, Jan. 19

My son Sam's Tiger Cub Scout den decided to take advantage of a deal offered by UT (University of Texas) to get basketball tickets for $6 per seat for the UT vs. Colorado men's basketball game on Saturday 2007-01-19. We arrived a little bit late due to slow restaurant service, and UT was already a ways behind and it wasn't looking too good. At the half, UT was behind around ten points, and we weren't too hopeful that they would win.

Coach Barnes must have lit a fire under his players during half time, as they came out blazing in the second half and fairly quickly caught up. The Horns were up close to ten points for a while, but towards the end of the game they started to slip a bit and Colorado was catching up. The Longhorns hung on to win by two points. Quite an exciting game, particularly the second half.

I'd never seen a basketball game in an arena, and I figured we'd have nosebleed seats and wouldn't be able to see well. But I realized when we got there that no one really had a bad seat, and the view was pretty good.

We'll probably go again, particularly if we get a good deal on tickets like this time. There's another opportunity coming up for Cub Scouts to see the women's basketball team vs. Texas A & M for $5 per seat next month.
