Town Hall vs Freedom Hall.
Now this is a very big decision.
Georgetown plays Louisville at Freedom hall this weekend. Google maps have indicated to me that the drive from my house to Freedom Hall is roughly 9 and a half hours. Game time is 9pm seeing as it how it is the game of the weekend on ESPN. They even decided to send their GameDay crew down there, very nice of them really. So the late tip time doesn't require me to leave my house at some crazy hour.
Now there is obviously another way to get there. A flight to Louisville and a hotel for Saturday night is a little bit more than I would want to spend for a regular season game, knowing that March Madness travel is a little more than 5 weeks away.
What is Town Hall you ask? Well it is a place in DC that the Hoya Hoop Club uses as their away game Headquarters. I really don’t like to watch games out in public but I have this new problem: they suck when I watch from 2003 N Brandywine. From what I understand the place is pretty cool but my source was basing that on the fact that lots of guys went there. Last time I checked that is actually a negative from my perspective.
The wrinkle in this decision isn’t the fact that I would be going to Louisville by myself or the fact that the drive would make my Sunday totally suck. (I decided a long time ago not to let the lack of others stop me from going somewhere I want to go. Obviously I’d rather go with good friends, but sometimes you gotta just go for the gold by yourself. Oh and the drive time would just fly by with the proper amount of effort put into some killer playlists.) The wrinkle is that I need new front brakes pretty soon and that cost will come close to my travel cost.
What is a crazed fan to do? March Madness is looming. Next weekend in Syracuse will be my fifth roadtrip of the season. Should I make it my sixth??? Remember that I have a sweet spot in my heart for places I haven't been to yet. Freedom Hall has yet to make it on my Stadiums/Arenas that I have attended spreadsheet.
Do I have what it takes to make an adult decision and pass on the trip? Will the Peter Pan Syndrome come up and bite me in the ass yet again? That is the Million Dollar Question.
