College Park, MD

March 19th – 21st

North Carolina vs Maryland – Men’s Lacrosse – ESPNU – 2p et

Got home from Blacksburg, VA on Thursday morning and left for Maryland later that evening.

Flew on Southwest because they have a non-stop flight to Baltimore. I didn’t remember to check in online until Thursday afternoon, which meant I got the “B” seating group.

I don’t really mind Southwest except for the fact that the flights are always packed full and typically are full of family travelers on vacation. Which can get annoying for a business traveler.

BWI is by far one of my least favorite airports to fly into. The rental car facility is so far off site that it’s a minimum of 30 minutes by the time you get to the shuttle bus stop. I always get cranky traveling here.

On Friday we had a set day. This weekend we did a “Campus Connection” so it takes a little longer to prepare for the game. “Campus Connection” is when 10 college students join our crew. There is a student working in each ‘department’. It’s actually pretty cool. I only wish something like this existed when I was in college!

It’s interesting to see the difference in the sports program budgets… Maryland basketball has a very nice facility. The Lacrosse team doesn’t even have actual locker rooms – they have an office trailer on the sideline.


I was able to get home on Saturday night – even though I was delayed a little.
