Columbus > West Lafayette, IN

January 11th – 12th


Super Tuesday Presented by KFC - Ohio State vs Purdue – Conference Tip-Off Week – ESPN 2 – 7et

I only mention all the sponsorship because sometimes it’s funny. It’s rarely ever “just a game” anymore.

Monday morning I went to see my doctor cause I have had some sniffles I can’t kick.

Sure enough, he said I wasn’t sick – just allergy overload. Nothing he could do.

Made the drive to West Lafayette. Didn’t I just do this?

We were at the Homewood Suites…
It’s ok in the sense that its basically a one bedroom apartment with a kitchen. But bad on the little nice-ities of a full service hotel.

Because I was at the end of a hallway, I had almost no internet signal. Agh!!!

(However once I called to complain on Tuesday morning, the maintenance person right up to move the wired modem from the living room to the bedroom so I could watch my slingbox at night)

I didn’t sleep at al well. Realized at some point in the night it was because I had taken MucinexD. The “D” keeps me awake.

Tuesday was good. Had lunch with team graphics at Panera – which is always high on my list.

After the game, I headed to Bruno’s for drinks and dough balls with Heather & Erin.

We arrived at 10:02pm. They closed at 10. But since there were still lots of people inside Heather started banging on the door. She was able to talk them into letting us in.

Bruno’s is Coach Keady’s post game hangout and of course he was there with a group of friends.



Dough balls are one of the signature items… a piece of dough that is deep fried, brushed with garlic butter and then sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Pretty good, but sinful!

Once we got back to the hotel, there was no parking. Grr!

We had to park in the front and walk – which is a lot like parking in the front of an apartment complex and walking all the way to the furthest building – which sucked in the sub-zero temps and icy sidewalks.

Nose is still running!
