At The End Of The Weekend:

[hatvol96]

Here are my closing thoughts:

1. The SEC is awful. LSU is the only team in the league that hasn't embarrassed themselves at least once.
2. Jay Bilas is right, if Gonzaga and Memphis can claim the mid major label doesn't apply to them, Xavier can do the same. Sean Miller is proving to be the best in a long line of quality coaches at X.
3. Philadelphia has the worst run airport in the United States. It's not even close.
4. Multiple trips to Abner's this weekend have undoubtedly done wonders for my cholesterol count. Cardiologists should franchise the place and put one in every strip mall in America.
5. Ed Stefanski better hope the Sixers start playing well. Even in a town as tough as Philadelphia, firing a universally beloved legend is dicey business.
6. The COBL appears to have had enough of Donovan McNabb. Sending him home to Chicago might be best for everyone involved.
7. The Sports Animal crew should be forced to listen to WIP every waking hour for a week. That's how you do sports radio.
8. Joe Lunardi is sharp. When I talked to him before the game yesterday, here is what he said: "This game sets up really well for Temple. Christmas can get 30 plus against these guys."
9. Tennessee-Villanova next year at the Wachovia Center would have a nice ring to it.
10. If, as appears inevitable, Norm Roberts is shown the door at St. John's, expect PJ Carlesimo's to surface.

Good stuff Hat...I couldn't agree more about Sean, he is doing a hell of a job @ X.

Philly Airport is an armpit. JFK is a blackhole.

My vote goes for Dulles, but then I've only been to Philly once.

He sure did see this coming!

I haven't been through there in 4 or 5 years but Midway was horrible as well.

Only been to Philly a couple of times, but my experience was that it was vastly inferior to Dulles. Dulles is just busy, and has the annoying separated concourses that require a shuttle ride.

I have been through Dulles about a half-dozen times. So far, the airport is 100% at screwing something up. The concourse layout is excellent at turning small problems into gigantic ones, and the fact that it is a United hub doesn't help. It still gets my vote as #1.

You apparently haven't been to BMI.

The Philly Airport is a mess with all of the renovations they are doing.

I have to admit that the concourse layout and separation appears to be perfectly designed to make people miss their flights.

No, I have never been to Bloomington.

No, I have never been to Bloomington.

Neither have i. Baltimore maryland international.

I must say, I was really impressed with Denver's Airport.

Chicago Midway? surely you jest. compared to O'hare, Midway is freaking puppy dogs and ice cream cones.

Philly is terrible. i refuse to fly through there. i'm convinced it's ran by the mentally impaired.

 

[Abeachvol]

sry but McNabb is the hottest QB in the NFL right now

BMI is Bloomington-Normal/Central Illinois. Baltimore/Washington International is BWI. I have only flown in and out of there once, and I didn't have any problems. The rental car center is a 20 minute bus ride from the terminals, but other than that, I thought it was OK.

Sorry i got it mixed up. I lived there for eight months in 98. Flew in and out 50, 60 times. I guess the place was alright, i just got sick of looking at it. Never carried much luggage after it was lost twice, just a carry on bag.
