I have lived in both cities and have to admit I like Tampa better as well.  San Antonio was a nice change up and the neighborhoods with all large rolling hills was pretty cool.  The river walk comparison, SA wins hands down, they have a dome (they can’t play at Tampa Stadium because it is outside?), an NBA stadium and is centrally located.  I could give a flip either way, only way I tune in is if the women make the final four which is unlikely. 

They could play the early rounds at USF...theSun Dome has 4 courts.  The Trop could also be used.  Both are much closer to Amalie (F4) than UT is to the Alamodome.

I guess in the grand scheme of things I don’t care where they play.  They could play in my backyard and I wouldn’t watch however I am not sure where Coco would poop.

Uncle Sam was nice enough to send me to San Antonio for six weeks back in the 70s.  I didn't get to see much of the City, though.

I never knew the USAF basic was only 6 weeks? Hope you didn’t go in the summer like I did in SC in the 80’s, no AC and blistering heat, had a heat rash on my chest that felt like getting stabbed with needles, oh the fond memories.

Yup.  I guess we learned quicker back then.  I went in in July and saw the Blue flag (>115 degrees) a couple of times.  My son was a corpsman at Beaufort, SC.

Heat rash?  Hell, you get a purple medal for something like that in the USAF!  No, Frisco, we were Air Force.  Of course we had air conditioning!

Army. Fort Jackson for Basic.   I remember being in an old World War Two barracks as permanent party and we moved out and the AF moved in but not before they put in carpet, made the two per room one and added phone lines and these guys were students in AIT.  Air Force definitely lived better.

Old saying I learned early in my Army career - “The last thing the Air Force builds is the runway” lol...Having said that, I always tried to stay in  AF lodging when possible.

I don’t know what the rest of the AF looks like, but the classrooms I use at MacDill are legit. They put most of USF to shame.
