Β Every now and then something happens and you get the feeling that you have been somewhere before. I am living that right now.
Β Let’s see π if there’s enough similar things to create a Top Ten List… because its always fun to do..
Both days had me waiting hours for a Flight βοΈ out of Miami International Airport (MIA).
Both times the game was played on the 2nd day of the moth which they took place.
Both times it was a College Football game involving my beloved Duke University Blue Devils.
Both times we were major underdogs against a nationally ranked Football team.
Both times I was in company of Top Shelf people for the game.
Both games were played inside of National Football League Stadium πs.
Both games started with the Blue Devils π quickly falling behind 14-0.
Both times I went into the game telling myself to remember to take the time to enjoy the moment. Not everyone gets to watch their All-Time favorite team play on a regular basis.
Both times the post game Airport meal took place at the Villa Pizza π place in the D gates.
Finally, both times a more talented Football team went out a hung half a Hundred on us.
Β The big difference between the games on 11/2 and 1/2 was during the middle of the Miami game we outscored the #5 Hurricane π 31-3….31-3….31-3.
Last night π was an absolute blast. We were in the suites that the Jacksonville Jaguars fan base use. It was Fancy Pants πliving, something that Lin and I call things that are above our normal life style.
Β Maybe it was 10 degrees cooler than I would have liked but otherwise it was a great evening spent with the Love π of my life.
Β Now I’m forced to leave the Country and head to the Bahamas π§πΈ. But, no, not really.Β I can say that I just received an email π§ from the Electric company back home saying that the pending Snow β storm might cause a loss of power tomorrow. So, thoughts and prayers π for everyone who is reading this.
Β We will wrap this up by saying GO HOKIES ! The ACC needs you as we are now 2-10 in the post season and sadly the Mean people are all laughing at us.
Β Big difference between 3-10 and 2-11, right ? Now that I’ve typed it out…
Β The S.E.C. as a whole and both Alabama and Ole Miss in particular were rather upset that SMU stole one of their precious bids to the Field of 12. Ole Miss took advantage of the opportunity to punk an ACC team and did just that last night π.
Β Wish the had maybe taken the Alabama approach by mailing in their Bowl π₯£ Game but Duke was not so fortunate.
Β The reality is that ACC Football is in trouble when you compare it to the rest of the Country. Chris Graham writes β about how the $30 Million β extra the other Power Four schools π« get and its showing.
Final thought about last night π- kudos to the Rebel players celebrating Big Plays by dunking on a Toy basketball hoop with a Duke logo on it. Kinda clever…
One more College Football πππ Bowl π₯£ Game left to attend and then its a wrap on the Box π¦ Set of 41….
Truthfully, after the Bahamas π§πΈ Bowl didn’t take place last year, I was not 100% convinced that it would stay in the rotation but here we are.
My goal is to have this particular Box Set be my last one. It is going to be the second highest by numbers ( 50 States in 1 year) and by far the greatest challenge of any that I completed.
Tomorrow morning π at 11:00 local time I will witness the final Kickoff in the sole Bowl π₯£ Game that takes place outside of the United States πΊπΈ
At 1pm, roughly shortly after halftime, I will use the Network to watch the Boys π¦ Basketball π team play Cave Spring at Floyd County High School π«. I believe that combination will be a First in the History of the World π….
Where someone is simultaneously watching the Bahamas π§πΈ Bowl π₯£ and a High School Boys Basketball game in another Country where two teams are playing at a Neutral site in an Annual event. That was fun to type….
More great Travel News from American Airlines – we got the Free 1st Class upgrades on both βοΈβ!!!
It’s almost time to board the first plane, down to Miami so its a good stopping point but when we pick this back up we will focus on tonight versus James River.
11,669 steps πΆββοΈ collection β₯, next stop β Miami…
