With the 2K Classic going on during the end of that week, it makes sense that we are out this year.

This sounds like a cool road trip and their arena looks pretty neat and intimate. Would be nice if it was on a Saturday, but still worth considering. Never have been to the Naval Academy.

Don't remind me - maybe the best and coolest and seats I've ever had a sporting event - first row almost at half court. Dick Strong sitting behind me and looking at me with an expression on his face that communicated "Who is that loser sitting there and relegating me to the 2nd row?".

Junior shaking his head and saying "I'm not playing on this". They would wipe the floor and immediately the condensation would pop to the surface. Bummer as the women's game went off without a hitch on a beautiful day - I was more worried about it being a windy evening and not the sun setting.

Charleston a great location for a road trip.

As compared to those who sit a row in front of Caribou who just shaken their collective heads at the latest Lil Monarchs story.

It is a beautiful campus, steeped in history. Right on the water, as you would expect, off the Chesapeake. If you ever get a chance, Commissioning Week is awesome. This is something that is especially fun to watch. http://www.usna.edu/PAO/faq_pages/herndon.php

I should actually be able to make this game in person. My wife hates basketball with every bone in her body, but I think I might be able to coerce her into coming along if I agree to take her out for MD Chesapeake Bay hard shell blue crabs before the game in Annapolis. Before moving out to this area, I'd never tried nor even heard of blue crabs. Eighteen year later - it's possibly my favorite food now. Nothing beats an afternoon of eating hard shell crabs and drinking beer.

Except soft shells when they are in season.
