Its snowing in Cleveland. It actually looks more like London on winters day. From tweet pictures you can hardly see anything for all the fog.

London, Ky!

I'd say it's going to be pretty spare.

Yesterday I was watching some of the Cornell Sweet Sixteen game from 2010 in Syracuse. The announcers noted a few times how the crowd was intensely against us, and as you watch the game there's almost the sense that it's a road game. You can see just a little bit of blue in the stands.

I'd assume Saturday will be better if we win, because a lot of folks will drive up, but I wouldn't expect that many tonight.

From KSR's Drew Franklin....

I did do a lap around the mall and casino a little earlier and saw plenty of blue moving into the hotels. However, I also saw plenty of Mountaineer blue and gold so it may not be the lopsided crowds we saw in Nashville and Louisville the past two weekends. The UK fans here in Cleveland need to bring the noise tonight.

I think it is a given that Wichita State, Notre Dame, and WVU fans will all be cheering for WVU so yes the big blue fans have to bring all the energy they can.

I think maybe the Wich St fans might pull for UK for payback. But you know ND will pull for WVU, they do not want to see our D coming at them.

Nerves have settled in.

Not sure if that's good or bad. have probably done several WVU games.

Looks like Notre Dame did their part. So its time to think about our game.

So what is tip time? 9:45 or later?
