Oh, boy, don’t drink that Cancun water and bring your own ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 @slu72: I was just there June 3 - 8. And I'm still standing. How are you supposed to do a run of Mai Tais, Mimosas, Mango Tangos, and Strawbeey Daiquiris without using their ice??????? cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I think I've developed a certain level of immunity over the years by eating a lot of expired foods.

Hey, I’m just quoting Old Guy’s warning to the team from SLU’s last trip to the Cancun classic. I’ve never been there, what do I know?

HoosierPal Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 IF SLU is still planning to put together a MTE, with marque "resume building" teams, there are six P5 teams not yet committed. And you know Missouri wouldn't accept an invite, so make it 5 candidates from the P5. Of course there are other quality teams still out there, but this is what remains from the P5. The Big 10 was booked a while ago. ACC: California* Big 12: Cincinnati, Utah* Big East: DePaul SEC: Arkansas, Missouri Figure out who you want from here: https://www.bloggingthebracket.com/2024/5/13/24140186/2024-25-mens-college-basketball-exempt-multi-team-events-mte-thanksgiving-early-season-tournaments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Let's add the following: George Mason: Marquette Challenge Umass: Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase Leaving Rhode Island, Richmond and us as A10 teams with no invites anywhere. As for the Myrtle Beach Classic (which we and I were at last year), it says it will be November 21, 22 and 24 but with nothing else available on it for now. Doubt we go back again two years in a row.

Old guy Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 @Taj79: Cancun is special because many (not all) resorts manage to have clean water (which means clean ice) for the tourist trade. In other places you have to get to your waiter and make him bring you an unopened beer bottle, an alternative is to get bottled water in a sealed bottle. If you do not want to go through the chore of getting bottled beer in the bottle, you can get get your Dr. to prescribe CIPRO (antibiotic) for you and bring it along. Mexico City and St. Petersburg were both built long ago in wet / swampy ground. Leaks in sewer and water pipes due to unstable subsoils are common in these places. They are well known for gastrointestinal issues affecting visitors. Remember this, not everybody gets sick, but those that get sick and try to tough through it are in for a real bad time. Your choice, bringing CIPRO along provides some risk insurance and it works in Russia as well as in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
