Cincinnati, Ohio

February 11th – 12th

St. John’s vs Cincinnati CBB – ESPNU360.com – 7:30pm


No snow fell on Tuesday night – yah!
However, on Wednesday, we had wind gusts of 60 mph for most of the day and night.

As we prepared for the game, the tornado sirens went off numerous times.
The truck was shaking back and forth from the wind which is something I had never experienced before. Kinda scary! Thankfully, the driver had left the cab attached to the truck as that stabilized us more.

At one point in the afternoon there was a double rainbow and it was quite pretty over the dark & ominous sky.

Soon after the game started, the campus lost power. Our truck took some sort of hit too as we lost the switcher for a couple of minutes.

The announcers explained to the viewers that the past 3 weeks had been rough on the crew – from the snow/ice/snow storm to the snow storm to now this week the wind storm. One of them said, “Our poor crew is out in the parking lot in the equivalent of mobile home.” Which is true – I never though of it like that.

I spent another night at the Marriott Kingsgate.


On Thursday morning I again woke up sneezing and went thru a box of tissues on the way home. Hmmm… I have stayed in this hotel for years – and now 2 weeks in a row I have had issues. I wonder if they have changed laundry detergent or something?

The drive home was miserable due to my dripping nose.

You should ask about that laundry detergent thing or maybe they should have their duct systems looked at! Something seems funny...
