Tulsa and Back in One Weekend

It was almost 3 strikes and out for Steve Loomis this past weekend. On Thursday we found out we were getting the promised tour bus because the trip from Louisville to Tulsa is 10 hours and 2 minutes. Bus drivers can apparently only drive 10 hours per DOT regulations, and those 2 minutes were going to cost us $750 both ways. So we made the trip in minivans and the Miller Family Magnum. Not ideal.

Then I found out that there will be no staying in the Indian Casino. Not only did we not get to stay there we had to drive by it in its neon, Cherokee Casino glory on our way to our smoking room at the La Quinta Inn. I mean, I don't have a problem with La Quintas, but they don't have roulette wheels in the lobby either.

THEN, I find out that because we don't have the tour bus we won't be getting Wigger or Frazier. I mean, we're a different team with those guys.

THEN, we get to these fields and they aren't anything extrodinary.

Anyway, we stilled had fun none the less.

Tussin' - We played pretty well, and won a close one at the end.
General Strike - They played like a team that had made a 20 hour trip from Winnipeg. We played about as well and lost 11-8 in a game we should have won.
Madison - We expected to lose this one from the beginning and would have probably won with a little more energy. We lose 11-8.
Black - Oh geez, we played horrible to a team we probably should have beat. 11-3.
Madcow - Fresh off their big win against BAT, and visions of their 13-3 whipping against us at Sectionals, they opened up their roster. Bad idea. We took half at 6-3, but couldn't win it. 11-8.
BAT - It rained. They were athletic. We didn't play well. 11-4.
Dingwop - We handled our business in a game that was never close. 11-6.

I played pretty bad, but nobody played really well. Our goal this year was top 8 at Regionals. That didn't happen as we finished 11th or so. Definitely going to show some improvement next year, or I'm going to have to play coed to get my trip to Natty's. And boy I don't want to do that.

In other news, this week is finals. Dumb. I also got a job grading accounting papers in the Executive MBA program. Now I won't have SO much free time. Sweet.
