Back on the Road

The injury curse which has plagued us all season hit again this morning as Forrest was ill throughout the night and was not able to make the trip after being held at GW hospital for further tests.   Despite asking around the athletic department if anyone wanted to come in his place we were out of luck and would travel without a replacement.  On to Reagan National Airport and the first leg of our road trip this weekend.  Logistically we will be using vans, planes, buses, a coach and shuttles to see us through so fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.

After checking in and getting through security with ease except for Coach Pasquinelli who had a bottle of water in his backpack we were ready to get to the gate and get boarded.  Once on the plane we sat on the tarmac for 30 minutes as they tried to fix Ripperger-Suhler’s seat.  After a technician came and the seat could not be fixed one person had to leave the plane to make room and we were finally ready to take off and get to Indianapolis.  There was no way I was going to lose another player so lucky another fella volunteered to give up his seat.

Once in the air the flight went well and we were in Indy and on the vans on the way to the Hotel.  A team dinner this evening and back to the hotel for an early night ready for the game tomorrow.  With breakfast at 9am and a walk through at 11am its time for me to hit the sack and get some rest.

Magic Moment of the Day

Getting through the first leg of the trip trouble free.
