Mine is a WBB story, too. After using frequent flyer miles to get my freshman dorm mate and myself to the Final Four in Knoxville in 1990, she returned the favor as we made our way to the 1991 regionals in Las Vegas in her Honda CRX. We left after work, cruising down I-5 and then east on I-15 before hitting total gridlock in the middle of the night as we approached Tehachapi Pass. Thankfully, there were blankets in the car as we were stuck in sub-freezing temps for 3 or 4 hours. When traffic started moving again, we passed hundreds of jugs of Gallo wine which had been deposited by a jackknifed big rig. We made it to our hotel in Vegas and got in a nap before rooting on the Cardinal to another Final Four (in New Orleans where they lost in the semis to eventual champ Tennessee). The trip to the Final Four in Los Angeles the following year was less eventful (and more satisfying!).
