I'll start with the bad luck. I was in Atlanta at the SEC Tournament when the tornado hit the Georgia Dome, kinda freaky. When the Kentucky and Georgia game was cancelled I left and tried to find my hotel. Well, I couldn't. I could see the hotel, but any streets with broken windows or debris on them were blocked by police, so after 45 minutes of driving I called my hotel, and they told me that the lights in almost all the rooms were out. The hotel told me to go to the Marriot Marquis where they had reserved rooms. I will admit the Marquis was one sweet hotel. Better than the other thats for sure, but it took me an hour and a half to get to it. When I got up the next morning I had more issues, I couldn't go to any of the remaining games. Oh it sucked.

Now for the good luck. After I figured out I couldn't do any thing else in Atlanta I left to go to Florida to visit some friends. They live in Melbourne. I get there Saturday night so next day is Selection Sunday, any my team, Vandy, is playing in Tampa 2 and half hours west. Right as it happened I ordered my tickets. Got them in the mail this morning. Awsome, eh? Wish me luck that I don't have a disaster in Tampa.

Just My Luck...

Enjoy the time in Tampa. I have good buddy that is a Nova grad and we have been beating our brains out trying to figure out a good reason for a trip to Tampa. I actually have some meetings there in Apr. Of course, that doesn't help me out for this weekend. I'm currently stationed in NJ and tried to get tickets to the Sweet Sixteen at Continental Arena to see Vandy last year. Tickets were going for $200 per. Army doesn't pay that well...I'm too cheap. I'm kicking myself now for not getting them. Will probably regret that for a long time. Have fun and yell loud and act crazy. Be watching for ya on TV.

So lucky that you get to go to the NCAA Tournament and see Vandy. I'm going to go to Raleigh and I'll see Georgetown, UNC, Davidson, and Gonzaga play. It will be fun, but it's not Vandy.
