BuiltFordBills Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Anyone else planning to go to the games in Cancun? I will be close by in Mexico during that time and am trying to make it to a game or 2. Was wondering how others were getting tickets. Currently the only options I'm seeing is 200$ a person for one day (4 games) or 350$ for both days of games. Wish I could just buy tickets for the SLU games.

Old guy Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I am sure there will be plenty of people you can have a drink with, even if none of them are Bills fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior year spring break some friends and I were in Cabo at the bar cheering on SLU beating Memphis at the NCAA tourney. We had everyone at the bar into the game. I like to think we created some new fans... BuiltFordBills, RUBillsFan and billiken_roy like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The Cancun Challenge and SLU. Two games to be played. First one against IL State (241 Team Rankings), and the second against either Buffalo (74 Team Rankings) or Stephen F Austin (206 Team Rankings). I already did an analysis of the prior performance of IL State compared to the Vegas line and found them to be inconsistent with two wins and two losses. IL State has gone under the Vegas line in every single game they have played so far. Not a good team, I think we should win this one. The opponents to the second game are Buffalo (74 Team Rankings) or Stephen F. Austin (206 Team Rankings). Buffalo is good, they have played 3 games with a Vegas line and lost one (against Michigan 17 as per Team Rankings). Every single game played by Buffalo they went over the Vegas line, including the game with Michigan. Good team, will be tough to beat. Stephen F. Austin, they have played two games with a Vegas line. One loss (against SD St 81 as per Team Rankings)and one win against Mid TN (253 as per Team Rankings). They went below the line by 10 pts against Michigan and 23.4 over the line against Mid TN. We should be able to beat SF Austin. SLU is 54 as per Team Rankings. We have won 3 games and lost 1. The Harris Stowe game had no Vegas line. The game we lost was Memphis (17 when we played them) and went under the line by 5.4 pts. The other games (against lesser ranking opponents) have been won over the line. I think the tough game will be against Buffalo, assuming we get to play them. The Vegas line will be indicative of what the street expects to see. I think the game with Buffalo will be 50-50 with fairly equal opponents. That is the way it looks to me. I think others may have different opinions.

Bills By 40 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 @BuiltFordBills I'm not certain who is traveling with the team as far as media, but reach out to Stu and see if he is going. I remember him traveling to Brooklyn in 2020 and getting dinner and drinks with a variety of people before it was announced canceled and everyone returned home.

slubillikens43 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Is this the same venue as 2013-14 when we played Wisconsin? Edit: I went ahead and looked it up that tourney was in Riviera Maya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 30 minutes from downtown Cancun.

Old guy Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The big touristy hub is Cancun, Riviera Maya is more Mexican and less touristy. If you are looking for things to do other than basketball and drinking, there are Mayan city ruins and ways to get to see them. Interesting stuff (Tulum and Chichenitza), and the scuba diving is great (Riviera Maya and Cozumel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Xel Ha, Tulum, Chichen Itza and Isla Mujares. All highly recommended. Qunitana Rood is to Cancun what Missouri is to St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBand Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 My wife and I are here. Rode the shuttle with Earl and Rammer. Haven’t seen any Billikens fans. Crazy low ceilings in the ballroom. Not too many “rainmakers” in there. Box and Won, BuiltFordBills, MusicCityBilliken and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qunitana Rood is to Cancun what Missouri is to St. Louis. If anyone takes the ferry to Isla Mujeres, do Playa Norte. It literally translates to North Beach. Amazing beach with tons of inexpensive beach clubs. You can walk about 100 yards out into the water at waist level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
