2014 Old Spice Classic in Orlando

[Dr. Blackheart]

The cauldron got tipped over and cracked...4never's fantasy woman (notice the teeth)...

[Dr. Blackheart]

Toasting the Warriors sweep with some Butter Beer and Dragon's Breath...

[Dr. Blackheart]

I'm sure I stick out like a sore thumb in Orlando... I'm the guy with three kids running amuck.

BTW -- Another sh/tty weather day here... prolly not going to break 60.  Legoland postponed, so I'm going to take this opportunity to show my kids the seven different places where daddy has thrown up in WDW; conveniently, they're all in one place that currently goes by the moniker "Downtown Disney."

In Orlando?  You will be the norm...big family turnout for MU.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Especially for Willy, Ners TAMU and Sultan....

Bahahaha. Well played Dr. I am down in Orlando, along with the whole TAMU crew. I'll be sure to stop by the slurp shack.

Yes, Doc, that was the joke.  I see the toxic fumes of Disney are already getting to you.

It was that Hogwarts ride at Uni that is half simulator, half roller coaster....almost lost it.

That's a cool ride!  Feeling the heat of the dragon on your face.

Damn, my wife still says we are going on it.

[Dr. Blackheart]

The ride is really awesome, don't let me dissuade you (the whole Harry Potter Wizard area and ride are awesome too...they is a train between the two parks as Hogwarts is in Islands of Adventure).  When I went on the Hogwarts ride I had an empty stomach and just got off a few others like Hollywood Rockit...so, grab a soft pretzel and Sprite beforehand. And, order a warm butter beer (just don't pull out your ID like I did).

Let's go Warriors!  Feeling a win today.

For you fine diners out there. Make sure you hit up Vito's Chop house before you leave! Incredible wine and steak.

[keefe]

What's the deal on Tollroads again? I mostly carry $100's - can they give me exact change?

As a pilot I always made sure I had a couple hundred in singles in my survival kit. My wife never understood this obsession.

All the better if there happens to be a vending machine nearby.

I'm here. Nasty flight.. smelled like a diaper (probably me) and lots of kids crying.

Tonight I think MU can turns these guys over if they play it right. Heath has 18 assists to 1 turnover.. 42.4 assist rate, less than 6% on turnovers.. tonight that gets back toward reality. Tadric Jackson is good, but too young... propensity to screw things up at this stage.

Lose rebounds, win turnovers, shoot a little better, win.. hate to ever mention free throws, but GT has some of the worst FT shooters imaginable (well south of 60% career avg's for some of them).

Thought lap dances were free in the desert?

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I truly enjoy these threads among the traveling fans. I gotta make a trip one of these years!

Bring home a few wins.

Just finished turkey dinner with the family and the tryptophan seems to be settling in; I must say it's the first time I've roasted a turkey on the road, and it was actually much easier than usual (probably because of the limited menu)... now to figure out what to do with the leftovers.

Kids refused to take a nap earlier because we had a guest over, for dinner, and the curiosity was too much for them, apparently, so this is going to get interesting with tipoff likely to be around 9:00 pm local.   If any of you happen to see someone chasing two small kids in the background during the first half and carrying said kids - completely crashed and limp - out during the second half, that would most likely be me.

Thankfully there are about twenty Starbucks between here and the arena.

Sounds like ZFB on Saturday nights.

Just had a turkey dinner at the arena. Got up crazy early for the flight this AM... MSU up 16-6; Rider not doing much to keep me UP.

Hope MU can handle Cox and the gang.

Any know if Marquette loses whether they will play at 1 or 4 est? Trying to schedule our day in MCO.

Any heavy construction or other issues to look out for from the airport to "the area"??

If you have a rental car from a major chain (I use National for work) use the SunPass lanes.  Rental car companies will charge you a nominal daily fee ($3.95 for National) and the tolls will be added to your bill.

According to Bleacher Report if we lose to MSU we play at 1:00, if we beat them we play at 4:00. Take it with a grain of salt as it is BR, but so far I haven't seen times up on ESPN so that may be the best you can get for now.

Great meeting you and closing up Zeta last night Dano!

According to this a loss would be a 1pm Sun game.  Good luck handling all the talk from Sparty guy today!

Pleasure meeting you as well.  Thanks for the info.  I will have my hands full tonight as a couple of more Sparty friends will be coming as well.  We will probably do Zeta around 7pm if you are interested.

[Jay Bee]

Tourney will decide when we play on Sunday. Will likely decide based on KU's game. 1 or 4 - it's out of our control

[Dr. Blackheart]

JayBee, are you blogging for PT now?  Was looking for your articles at LNH, but noticed your PT work. Enjoy your articles. You pretty much nailed it on free throws yesterday being the difference.
