Video Clip from Vegas Casino

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and watch "Jimmy Video of the Day." It is video from Lagasses Stadium in Palazzo at the end of the UNI game.

That's awesome. Love all the guys standing up in in the back with their arms in the air when Ali took that shot.

Did anyone see News cheering in the backround. I'm sure he had a bet on the game....

Just down the strip, but you're damn right I did!

I couldn't watch it in the book, I needed to be someplace I could move around a little and not deal with general db'ery, so I went back up to our room during the game. My wife was on the floor during the game and said the book went absolutely ballistic when the shot went in.

Games like that have been fun to watch in the book - games that are essentially a pick em - because it's the result that matters. It's weird watching a game (example: Baylor yesterday) where the cheering is for the line and not the outcome.

Interesting looking at the lines for the games tomorrow. We are by far, the biggest underdog of the day at +11.5.

I just put small bet of $10 for UNI to win straight up, with a payout of $65.

Re: Video Clip from Vegas Casino

We're the only "mid-major" playing a 1 seed, which is why the spread is what it is.

UNI is attractive as hell, from a betting standpoint, at +11.5. I laughed last night, it took them FOREVER to get that line set. They don't know what to think of us.

I can't wait for tomorrow. Worst case is that we're just another predictable notch in the belt of the #1 team in the country. Best case is we're the biggest story of the year.

It is weird! I had a buddy who was in Vegas put some $ down on the Panthers for a game earlier in the year. The Panthers played well and won but at the end of the game I am sitting in the McLeod Center and screaming for one more hoop or a defensive stop. The Panthers covered and I won some cash!

Someone was telling me that they had a buddy that put a G on the Cats and that if UNI won, his friend would pull in a paltry 10K! Not entirely sure how that would work out but that'd be pretty nice...

Re: Video Clip from Vegas Casino

Wow, you really scared me with this one. I was a screaming freak at the Circus Circus Sportsbook and I was afraid somebody caught it on camera...

Re: Video Clip from Vegas Casino

The MGM sports book went nuts over that one too. Great feeling to wear the UNI gear out on the strip Thursday night.

News was right, it took them forever to post the Kansas game. I was shocked to see 11.5, took the money and gave back to tables

If anyone out there has a chance, go out to Vegas for March Madness, it's a blast.

Did you enjoy it? I'm somewhat ambivalent about going back for the same weekend in the future. It was fun and added something to a few games, but by-and-large I found the book (at least at Mandalay Bay) to be too crowded for my tastes. Then again, that book was somewhat larger and more crowded than most of the others I saw.

If I go back I will do whatever I can to reserve a spot (every square inch at the Mandalay Bay book was reserved both days). I think it would've been a lot more fun to have a spot to "set up shop" as it were rather than roaming about.

When I was coming back from our room after the UNLV game some drunk in the elevator pointed to my shirt and said "Northern Iowa, who knew they had fans...who knew who they were?"

They ALL know now!
