Big East Football – Louisville vs West Virginia
On Thursday morning I FINALLY got my hair done. It’s only been since June!
Then I set out on my drive to Morgantown. We all know how much I hate driving – but it just didn’t make sense to fly this weekend. The closest airport is 1.5 hours away in Pittsburgh. For me to fly to the ‘Burgh, I have to connect in Chicago, DC or Philly. Basically it comes down to 7 hours of airports or 4 hours in the car.
I haven’t been to Morgantown in YEARS! I think I was still working at Ch. 6 and freelancing on the side… so that makes it like 2000?
The hotel we stay in is the Waterfront Place… it’s regular hotel and then also a condo building. It’s actually where West Virginia Men’s Basketball Coach Bob Huggins lives.
There was a nice view of the river from my room. If it had been warmer, I would of gone for a nice long walk along the path.
Thursday evening, I went to dinner with the boys at Oliverios. Apparently it is a Morgantown staple. Our producer grew up in nearby Fairmont. He knows one of the owners of the place and so anytime there are ESPN crews in town, they head to Oliverios. Which also got us a bottle of wine on the house.
Very good, authentic Italian!
Friday was a normal set day. No news there.
Friday night, people were headed back to Oliverios, but not me. I stick strong to my Friday night curfew! I headed to the hotel restaurant. It was surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant!
Saturday night, I sat at the hotel bar and had apps for dinner and watched football.
It’s too far of a drive after a game. When I made that drive home from Pittsburgh a few weeks ago after a game – the last hour was brutal!
Sunday morning I drove home. Wow! Not a good day for wildlife along I-70!
