3. Other than Memphis, what other games have there been camp outs for?
4. At one campout, participants watched a basketball game. What game was it?
I'm probably completely wrong.
1. 2005.
2. Anderson Alley
3. UTEP and Cincinatti?
4. Alabama vs. UAB in the NIT.

Did our women's team play on TV for one campout?

On second thought I believe it was Depaul, not Cincy. What an odd campout that was.
Also, we camped out for Southern Miss once.

RE: Some student camp out trivia
Would they have camped out for the North Carolina NIT game?

Pretty sure the game shown was UAB vs Kentucky from the 2004 NCAAs.

Well, we definitely watched UAB beat Alabama in the NIT because it was the first time I had seen anything but the end of the game. It was projected outside of Bartow.

RE: Some student camp out trivia
There was most definitely a campout for Depaul's return to Bartow Arena. It was a Saturday afternoon and they had a Friday campout for it.
I remember it because only about 7-10 of us were brave enough to stay out there and freeze our butts off. A football player camped out with us and shared stories of how bad the discipline had gotten and how much Watson Brown let the football players get away with.
I also remember us having a campout for Southern Miss.
When I went to campouts (post-Anderson), they were called Bartow Boulevard. I don't know what they call them now.

RE: Some student camp out trivia
I thought the first campout was for Memphis and then Louisville. I don't remember the exact order but I was at the first ones. I know we had several the following year.

What is a "camp out"? (LOL) Where would we have done that in 1972 and why?

Yep, even if there were several banned posters in the thread.

RE: Some student camp out trivia
The Memphis camp out I remember was a complete disaster. We all got there and set up tents(we did have a great time that night for what that's worth) and were given wrist bands around 7 am. When it came time to let us in the arena first, the staff did a terrible job. They should have opened a separate door and allowed only those with wrist bands in first, as we were promised throughout the night, but they didn't. Instead, a large crowd gathered at the door and they just chose to do nothing for the people who had camped out. I was pretty bitter because I attended most games at that point, but at least I was able to get in. It was a great idea if they would have just went through with what they had said they were going to do. I hate to think that some people who camped out may not have gotten in that game.

Haha, I got a black eye at that event! Good thing paint covers it well. The staff threw towels and crap into a mob, not very smart. The ESPN cameras goading students at the gate wasn't a good idea either.
