As we head into final stretch of 2007, it looks as though I have gone on my last sports related roadtrip. (Anybody interested in going to Memphis on Saturday? Just say the words and I'll gas up the truck!) A few weeks ago I headed down to Norfolk to watch Georgetown take on ODU. This trip was planned the minute I walked out of Georgetown's on campus, high school sized gym completely dumbfounded by their upset loss last season (Nov 19, 2006...not like I remember or anything). Not wanting my career record against the Monarchs to stand at 0-1 for who knows how long, I natrually had to see the Hoyas avenge the loss in person.
Luckily all is right with the world as the Hoyas rewarded my three and a half hour trip with an easy victory over their CAA foe. Lady Luck showed her face again seeing as how I had a friend to go to the game with. I won't even point out the fact that she was rooting for ODU...hey beggars can't be choosers right? Way too many Georgetown road games turn into solo missions! It turns out that ODU has a really nice arena but very little parking options for sold out events. Seriously though I imagine it is a tough place for conference foes to come in and take home a win.
