( SC_Orangeneck) computer while in SC and that's what happened. Formerly Orange&Blue44, I lost my handle too, as the new registration doesn't accept more than 12 characters. Aside from that, and the outcome of the game, I had a great time. Wished we were able to meet some of you folks. We stayed at the Days Inn College Park and took Marta to get downtown.The Hudson Grille was way to packed to get a beer. 5,000 patrons and 3-4 bartenders. Had a small incident with a 20 something Michigan fan sitting in front of me. I cheer for my team, I'm not profane or obnoxious.
Near the end of the game, when we hit the 3 to close us to down one, I screamed YESSSSSS! at the top of my lungs. This Michigan fan turns around and just stares/ glares at me with a hateful look. He was wearing one of those big flat-brim caps popular these days, a Michigan hat, cocked sideways. Looking at him , the only thing I could think of was Eminem, so I glared back and said " You got a problem, 8-Mile ?" He proceeded to turn back around and say nothing. Sunday, got near the front of the line for the concerts, and ended up near the front of the stage. Stayed there all day and saw 4 bands, Blind Pilot,( meh) Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (Great), Sting (Great) and Dave Matthews ( Great).We stayed for the Championship game, because we enjoy basketball, and it was one hell of a game. Tuesday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium, which was fantastic. We ate Southern fare at the same restaurant CTO did, the Colonnade. The fried chicken was out of this world, recommend it highly. Best meal on the trip. Thanks CTO! Best part of the trip was to be able to spend time with my brother, who I'm not able to see very often. We discussed going to Dallas next year ... GO ORANGE !!!!

You should have done what I did at the Hudson Grille: stand next to a table and yell, "ANYONE HERE FROM SYRACUSEFAN.COM?" It worked!

Thanks for the report. I have been to the aquarium two times at Christmas and it was way too crowded to be that enjoyable. But it's a fantastic place. This Christmas I believe I will talk some of the family to go to the zoo.

I am impressed that you would be willing to go to Dallas next year. Let's hope your dream comes true!

We didn't stay at the Hudson long, and they certainly didn't plan well for the thirsty fans attending. Those carts selling adult beverages as you approached the Dome had only wine left. Having gone to the Final Four in NOLA with my brother last year, there is absolutely no better place to party than New Orleans. Thanks for the well-wishing on my dream of attending next year, along with our Orange of course!
