Another great GO JUMBO weekend!!  

The festivities started out on Thursday. Getting into the Las Vegas Hilton with time to spare to make some bets on the Thursday night games (No pushing the "needing special assistance" out of the way like last year) I plunked down some starter bets on the Houston Cougars and under on San Diego/Oakland. Pete and Woz came in during the games having already gotten some action on Houston and Va Tech. All the bets cashed in and we got the weekend off to a profitable start.

MD has the same number of Big 10 victories in Ann Arbor as RR
The 2010 VEGAS BABY weekend will go down as one of the best. Beating Michigan in their crib will do that.

This year’s festivities got off to the earliest start yet as Woz and I couldn't wait for Friday and so we came in on Thursday. There was a game that started at 4:30 local time and with my flight scheduled to at 4:06 I didn't think I could get there in time. But the flight arrived 15 minutes early so I
quickly got off the plane - stiff-armed the handicapped and elderly out of  the way, rushed through the world’s longest cab line and got to the hotel with 5 minutes to spare.

2009 GO JUMBO Recap

Damn - forgot my Elvis outfit
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless, of course, you don't do anything remotely inappropriate.
 
So here's a recap. Accuracy in this story will be strictly maintained unless it is better with a little embellishment or helps the storyline. All recollectons are subject to beer, vodka tonic and cigar induced haze.

Friday started in typical Drunken Bum fashion. Woz, Pete and Pat were on the same flight from Detroit to LV. On their drives down - Pete and Pat got a call from Woz asking where they were as he was on the plane and they were closing the doors. After a moment of sheer panic by Pete and Pat - it turns out Woz had
booked an earlier flight without realizing it. 
 
Upon landing in VEGAS BABY the four of us went to Old Vegas to go see the Pawn Stars (History Channel Mondays at 10pm) store. The Old Man was behind the counter and let Pete snap his picture as long as he never stepped foot in the store again. Rick was in the back filming a new episode. Woz tried to sneak back there but was easily pushed away by a couple of fairly small female security guards.

On the way back we passed several bail bond places and the local jail. We also went by the famous Wedding Chapel. Pat went back to the bail bond emporiums and local drunk tank looking for a spousal candidates but was turned down each time. Pat thought he got a nibble from one wench but I thought it was just a good healthy burp. So we went back to the Wedding Chapel and took pictures of the Chapel and the three Elvisses (Elvi?) posing out front.
Pete was pissed that he left his Elvis suit back at home.
