I could get into this. Too bad I don't live locally.

Me too. Wish it was streamed somehow, but I realize that isn't going to happen.

I think I will go to this. I am glad they are having it.

Is this similar to TBT, but where all of the guys actually played for the school?

Yes but the players in the alumni games are paid $2,000 for playing with an extra $850 per player on the winning team.

Unreal there is a team called Self's Army. How original!!! LOL!!! Hope they lose.

Who is playing for Cuse? Do they keep advancing if they win?

The SU alum roster includes Rick Jackson, C.J. Fair, Malachi Richardson, Jimmy Boeheim, Chris McCullough, John Gillon and Paul Harris.

It's just one game right now but hoping for an invitation-style tournament in one location next summer.

Would Self’s Army include players he coached at Illinois?

I guess it could include players from Oral Robers and Tulsa as well, but not sure how competitive 50 year old guys would be.

Wish I was local, would be interested. Side note, former coworker's son is on the Georgetown team.

Looks like T-Will ain’t gonna be playing for the Llvll alum team anytime soon….

I would much rather watch this type of college alumni game on TV than the current Boeheim Army squad of many non Cuse players.

Also a bonus to play against a team of old college players I likely remember and hate.

Is anyone here going to this game? I know 4 people and I am one of them.

Old guys (and I will leave it at that) playing basketball ... no thanks. Too many other things to enjoy.

 

[sufandu]

Too bad this took so long to get started. It would've been fun to see some of guys that are too old now. I wonder if Flynn can still play. If he's stayed in shape, he's younger than Harris.
