October 9th – 12th
Michigan State vs Northwestern – ESPN2 3:30ET – CFB Week 7
Landed in Chicago a little after 3pm ct. Once I got my rental car I discovered I had left “Linda” my GPS in my car at home. (Dave named her, not me)
I dreaded the thought of Chicago with no GPS. But I had done it for years before “Linda” came into my life, so I know I could do it again.
Another weekend at a Holiday Inn. Ugh!
This week it’s Holiday Inn Skokie.
They tried, they really did. Everyone was helpful, but it took numerous staff just to pull off one task. (reminds me of China)
When I printed stuff in the business center, I realized there was no printer. That’s strange. So I went to the front desk and they explain everything gets printed there. “Ok, can I please have the things off the printer?” – the guy hands me 2 pages. I explain that there are probably 10 more pages – they say it takes literally 5 minutes per page to print because quote, “it has to go thru a wire first.”
I went back an hour later and they didn’t know what had happened to the stuff I printed. Forget it!
Yet another weekend covering Michigan State!
On Friday night, ESPN had a crew dinner for us at Bravo! in Evanston. It’s a great Italian place that we have in Columbus too. Anyway, there were about 30-40 of us and a nice time was had by all!
On Saturday, for some reason, we were the 3:30 game and not the noon game this week. So that means I was not able to fly home on Saturday night. Grrr!
What did I miss this weekend?
Actually, nothing really.
