Joe had booked us rooms at the Drury Inn about a year ago. Great accommodations...and only two blocks from the Nationwide arena.
Qoutable Qoute: One night as we came back to the hotel, the clerk asked, "How you guys doing?"
Pete responded, "We're OK...just too fat and too old!"
Here's George, Jeff and Pete at their seats at Nationwide.
This picture was taken from our seats (with a slight zoom on the camera) and it was during the Illinois vs. Virginia Tech game on Thursday evening. Illinois was beat in the last few minutes of the game.
...And this picture is during the Southern Illinois vs. Holy Cross game later Friday evening.
On Sunday, we watched the Virginia vs. Tennessee game at 12:10 and then the Virginia Tech vs. Southern Illinois at 2:40.
We were on road home by 6:00. We stopped at Jake's in Ashland on the way home.
Although some of us complained earlier that we should have "gone away" for the Regionals this year (as in past years), the trip to Columbus proved once again to be a great time. A few local pubs were frequented (O'Shaunessy's, the FlatIron, Max and Erma's, the bar at the Hyatt Regency, Gordon Biersch Brewery and Jake's to mention a few) and a good time was had by all!!!!
