Somehow, I seem to do my best/most frequent updating in airports. That's quite a statistic. Above, you'll find the birds-eye view after the Commodores beat the Gators at Memorial Gym yesterday.
Nerd alert: I don't know what it was, but for some reason or another, I had zero ability to access the Internet in Nashville. My Blackberry couldn't check mail or access websites. My laptop told me I had an invalid IP address (what?) which could not be fixed without unplugging everyone in the frat house from the Internet. Not even the technology experts could figure that one out. I guess all I needed to do to fix everything was leave. That's heartwarming.
Oh yeah, college WAS fun: So last night, we had a frat party. It was "preps vs. punks." I wore, for the most part, what I wear to work, which I guess qualified me as a prep. Why did I leave this again? Endless supply of beer; drunken phone calls; 3 AM Quiznos (euughhhh); and lots of upset Florida fans.
What....the hell: I did happen to visit Nashville on the coldest weekend ever. It was around 20 degrees last night, with a stiff wind that made me cry and tested my desire to live. In typical Nashville fashion, the city wasn't prepared for cold AND precipitation at the same time, so they had no salt or sand anywhere. As a result, all roads and sidewalks were covered in a sheet of ice. Sweet. That made the walks to and from the Holiday Inn (11 PM, 3:30 AM) both tearjerkers.

- Vanderbilt might get fined since its fans stormed the court after beating #1 Florida yesterday. Since this would be their second offense, they are subject to a $25,000 fine. From Andy Katz's blog on ESPN.com: (Vanderbilt head coach Kevin) Stallings said an administrative official told him the storming of the court was "money well spent."
