Paul,

Tulsa may be last on your list for 2011 potential destinations (understandable compared to most of the cities on the list), but those of us in Tulsa are thrilled to have NCAA game. For the few UI alums in Oklahoma, we hope to see the Illini here. Keep up the great work on HQ!

Nowhere does it say this is an ordered list. Klee

Paul - my mistake. I mis-read your 5 o'clock shadow as a list of preference, and missed the distance of first listed. Thanks for giving us out-of-staters our Illini basketball fix all year long!
