    Default Poll: NCAAs & Recession..

    Is the recession affecting your plans to attend the 2009 NCAAs?



    Because of the bad economy, perhaps you've decided not to go. Or, you're economizing -- staying in a lower-priced hotel, or driving instead of flying. Or... maybe the recession isn't affecting your plans at all.

    Weigh in here with your poll vote... and your comments on your situation here.

    Thanks
    Mark

    I've missed the last few years so there was no way I was missing this year, no matter what. I might be dining on bread and water while I'm out there but I'm going.

    Not changing my plans whatsoever. Until my boys are old enough to go, my wife doesn't let me out of the house alone.

    It is tougher for sure but not changing plans. Staying 4 blocks away and probably be on a liquid diet the entire weekend. Going with 6 or 8 guys so splitting gas and rooms not too bad. Ticket was bought and paid right after last years tourney. I figure as long as it is in the midwest I am there. Detroit was far enough for me driving but St. Louis is a not bad at all. Next year for sure again but after that.....who knows.

    Will be there and I won't be changing any plans or spending habits. It's really the only consistent vaction I take so I intend to live it up as always.

    I'm in the same boat. I am intending on finding more men to buy me drinks, though.

    I was planning on going again this year but after finally being responsible and getting my finances under control I realize that I cant afford it this year. Really I couldnt afford it the past three years but went anyway. On the flip side, I'm no longer affraid to answer my phone!

    So it's really not the economies fault as much as it is my own damn fault.
