    Come on, y'all. Let's take a ride. It's time for Geotwink and I to head west for a few days. Flight from MSP leaving at 8:25, right about the time the alma mater Cyclones face off against the Frank Purdue Boilerchickens. Hopefully the Delta sled will be a newer model with TV's so I can keep all the youngin's awake with my shameless cheering.

    Our first stay at the Cromwell. I have heard the rooms are a bit on the smaller side and rather dark, but you can't beat the location. No big plans except for sitting my ass in the book for Sunday's games, using a $100 food credit at Rao's, grabbing one of those monster milkshakes at Holstein's, and giving the Miyagi and Raspberry Lemon Drop a whirl at Cosmo.

    Here's your worthless trivia bit for the day. Remember the movie, "Can't Buy Me Love," with McDreamy as the nerdy kid who pays the now deceased Amanda Peterson to pretend to like him to become popular, then astounds us with the African Anteater Ritual? The Hispanic jock in that movie is Gerardo, the dude who recorded, "Rico Suave."

    Just remember, you can't have the hop if you don't have the hip. Let's roll.

    Shocker. Delta delayed 80 minutes to begin with. You know what Delta stands for, right? Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport. Better get an early start on the sauce.

    Thanks for the well wishes!
    Wheels on the ground finally after a 2-hour delay. Satellite TV didn't work on the plane either so I missed the 19 point comeback and subsequent piss down leg for Iowa State. Time to head to Cromwell.

    Hit one more quad on DSTP at TAG, then fell victim to the Wheel a few times. Geotwink and I headed back to home base.

    The full pay VP machines near the north entrance of Cromwell are gone, as are the four Batman games. Some Buffalo and other carny slots have taken their place.

    We are heading to CP for some Earl of Sandwich. I'll place a few bets and hang in the book while Geotwink goes poolside.

    Sports bar at CP. Kentucky 1st half line was -1.5 and they ended up 26-24. Lots of Big Blue in the house, place went nuts.
