There was the usual back and forth between hoops fans and next thing we know, a couple of alums were offering to buy tickets for folks. The two alums in question are <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/richpriz\">@richpriz<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristensenEcon\">@ChristensenEconomics<\/a>. And yes, they&#8217;re serious. And it&#8217;s a great idea, so Todd and I are going to do it to.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it&#8217;s going to work. There are a total of 4 tickets up for grabs. Leave us a comment here on the blog telling us why you deserve one. And because this thing started on Twitter, we&#8217;re requiring that your response be 140 characters max. We&#8217;re holding you to that. No long winded diatribes. Just get to the point in no more than 140 characters. All comments must be entered by 8:00 EST Thursday. Tomorrow night the 4 of us will review the comments to choose winners and notify everyone via email (so use your real email when you comment please). Then we&#8217;ll either leave a ticket for you at will call or Todd and I will hand off the ticket prior to the game at a bar or restaurant TBD, whichever you prefer. Oh and if you choose the hand off option, we&#8217;ll also buy the first round of drinks (provided you&#8217;re 21 of course). We&#8217;ll get you in the arena, provided you get yourself to Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it. Pretty simple right? So let us know why you deserve a free ticket and maybe we&#8217;ll see you Saturday.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D6569&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night we were messing around on Twitter, trying to figure out who will be attending JMU&#8217;s CAA Tournament opener against Towson.
