In case the prospect of the first-ever college basketball game on an aircraft carrier isn't intriguing enough for fans, the ship North Carolina and Michigan State will play on next November may be especially noteworthy. Mike Whalen of the Morale Entertainment Foundation told WRAL that the carrier that will host the event in San Diego will either be the USS Ronald Reagan or the USS Carl Vinson. Of course, the USS Carl Vinson is the ship the body of Osama bin Laden was brought to in order to be buried in the North Arabian sea. That choice of aircraft carriers would only heighten the patriotic atmosphere for a game that will be held on Veterans Day in front of a crowd of mostly military personnel.
If MSU can make this happen it would easily be the best thing they've ever been a part of. Playing on the ship that tossed Osama Bin Laden's ass overboard is more patriotic than transporting that little rink in Lake Placid into the heart of Red Square for some pond hockey. Might even look into getting Hacksaw Jim Duggan to officiate the whole damn thing.
He could be just what this game needs to amp up the fact we're playing a college basketball game on a boat that put cement shoes on the world's most wanted man. I say if you really wanna make a day of it, you float that sucker up the St. Lawerence River, through the great lakes, and park it infront of the Mighty Mackinac just for effect. Then sit back and watch Izzo make it rain pasties after the victory. America! Fuck yeah!
