Davidson Trip

Recommended Posts

Anyone else going to the Davidson game?  I have my group going there this year.  There are 20 of us.  We are staying in Charlotte and commuting up to Davidson that night.  We are in the section that is right across the court from the Billiken bench.

I go every year for the past several years. I haven't seen a W yet, but I am confident it will be different this year. I was equally confident the last two seasons.

I'll be looking for you.

I'm so excited that I'm basically telling everyone who's willing to listen

It’s how you should introduce yourself to everyone from now until you leave for the trip.

Come find us.  We won't be hard to miss.  We'll all be wearing the same royal blue shirts and we have four rows of five seats each in our section.

Why do you say that?

To me, what really requires courage is booking a flight on Southwest to get there. Based on their recent troubles, sounds like you’d be better off jumping on a moving freight train and riding the rails like a hobo rather than booking a Southwest flight.

Stu's train to Chicago was delayed by 3+ hours yesterday, always take air over rail. Also, if you do choose to hop a freight train, be careful which car you jump in, hobo gang rape is rampant. Southwest really is not that bad.

Debatable

Southwest is back to normal. It’s fine. Charlotte airport has a new southwest terminal that’s nice. Went to the game last year and it got pretty chippy with their fans. We got destroyed which didn’t help. We’ve never won there. We’re do.  Hit the Brickhouse bar for pregame.

My opinion of Stu just jumped up a couple of notches for taking the train.

One reason for Amtrak delays is that the freight trains take priority 

A nitpick. Amtrak is SUPPOSED to have priority over freights. This was in the original law that established it in I think 1970. However, freights have gotten so long (engines front and rear now sometimes) that they don't fit on the sidings in some places, so obviously Amtrak has to move over instead.

This is (or was) a bigger problem in Missouri than Illinois. I've taken the train to Chicago and back at least 15 times in the last 20 years or so. The longest delays I ever encountered were maybe 15 or 20 minutes behind schedule. A 3 hour delay on that trip is REALLY unusual. That might have been an equipment malfunction.

Thanks for the heads up.  There are 20 of us all sitting in one big block, so I hope we're fine.  I'll tell my guys to bring their surliest of attitudes, and we'll see what happens.
