October 1st – 3rd
West Virginia vs Syracuse - CFB
On Thursday, I flew to Syracuse. It’s not on the top of my list as far as travel destinations go. I have never had a good experience visiting there. Perhaps it’s the freezing cold weather?
Or maybe it stems from my first ever visit… the Carrier Dome incident. ???
I have been to many domes in my time. I did not realize that the Carrier Dome was inflated, sorta like a balloon. Went I went inside on that first trip, several years ago, I saw that there was a sign stating to close the door behind you before opening the next one. To me, that meant they were cheap and didn’t want to let the heat out. I was in a hurry, so I ignored the sign.
Needless to say, I got yelled at.
If you have both doors open, it lets air out of the Dome.
Now how stupid is that?
With all the technology today and there is a building that can deflate by opening 2 doors?!
Since many of my friends and co-workers know about my first visit, they tease me each time I go there. They say there are wanted posters at the security office to watch out for me, etc.
This time, I tied to join along in the fun and mock myself as well.
This is where the magic happened the first time:

My mood quickly changed when one of the security guards asked me what I did in the TV Truck, being a girl and all?
Are you kidding me?
On Friday, Jason and I went to lunch at Cosmo’s. It was the hangout of our director, Jeff, when he attended Syracuse.
Granted a few years have passed since then, so perhaps it’s not the best place in town anymore. It looked as if nothing had changed over the years! My pizza was fine – but health nut Jason insisted on getting a salad. Not the best choice at a college pizza joint. He of course was sick later in the day.
We walked around Marshall St. a bit – it’s kinda the main drag and then headed back to the compound.
On Saturday, our game went well.
(Yes, there were a few more fans there for the game)
I flew back to Columbus late Saturday night.
