Old Spice Classic – College Basketball – ESPN Family of Networks
This is a tournament I have done since it debuted in 2006. I really enjoy doing this as it kicks off my hoops season and it also gives me a chance to get to Florida when Ohio is nice & cold.
College basketball is my favorite sport; so this is an exciting turning point for me as the season officially begins. This year is the first time we have some really good teams in the field, which makes it even better!
The down side, is that it is at Disney during Thanksgiving. It’s not easy to stay at Disney while working, especially over a holiday. The hotels do not really make an effort accommodate business travelers; little things like no desks in the rooms for starters.
Plus, everyone else here is on vacation! They don’t care if their kids are screaming while running up and down the halls at 3am – they don’t have to leave for work in 3 hours!
But like I said, it’s a tourney I enjoy and it also enables me to see my parents over the holiday weekend.
To me, Disney is not, “the happiest place on Earth”. But since 90% of my income comes from Mickey himself….. I will not share my opinions on how the “Mouse House” has effected the environment of my home state.
The trip down took most of Tuesday as there were first mechanical issues, then missing bags. But I made it and am all settled in at the Coronado Springs.
