The Highway is Alive Tonight, but Nobody's Kiddin' Nobody About Where It Goes
Congratulations to Mr. Joey Halbert for correctly naming "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience as the Monday Song of the Day.
I made sure to bring you, my dear readers, the version from Woodstock, because, as one of my former co-workers at Trek once said,"Anything less would be foolish".
After hearing/reading about numerous friends buying tickets to the U2 show this October at the new Cowboys stadium, I felt compelled to commit one of my favorite new theories to the firmament of the blogosphere:
Within 10, no, 5 years, every sporting, no, every event in the United States will be held at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
It will become a great mish-mash of the Temple in Jerusalem, the Great Mosque in Mecca, Carnegie Hall, Fenway Park, and Disney World.

You don't know how right you are on this one. As a seasoned Final Four attendee I can tell you you're spot on.
Austin,
Since I am not a seasoned Final Four attendee, let me ask this question:
Are the track suits at least respectable or would I think that a mob convention was actually taking place in the mid-cities?
Every since track suit will have a school logo. You've never seen so many coaches in one place at one time. Not a big mob connection that I know of. Although in '07 in Atlanta John Calipari was hanging out in the Dunkin' Donuts across from our hotal just about the whole time which I thought was "odd."
You forgot one:
November 2013: East Thurrock United giant-kills Liverpool in the FA Cup First Round Proper.
Them's fightin' words, Mr. Masten.
