Ticket sold so I ain't going to Mystics game....
That's kind of a relief, wasn't looking forward to schlepping across the DC region from MD on the beltway on a Thursday (or any day of the week for that matter after noon...) would have had to strategize going out to say SNP for the day then driving in on 66 to go in, opposite of the rush hour headed out. Lost a little bit on the resale, way it goes. What a disaster, would have gone for one reason and one reason only, to see Liz one more time - was kinda seeing the writing on the wall - if even only for five minutes, but of course, she gets waived only a couple weeks before (couldn't you guys keep her for just a little longer?) or even see Georgia on the other side, figure they would somehow greet each other. Both down. Heck, even if I was there as a neutral fan for the game well, superstar A'ja just went down also. They should pay me not to buy tickets from now on, I'll oblige them I guess. Coincidentally, saw Liz play at Eaglebank Arena a few years back when they played GMU. Same thing, visited the Marine Corp museum in Quantico so I could drive "back" against rush hour traffic to Fairfax...which didn't work all that well. Looks like Megan Duffy is going to be at VT fan get-together before the game, 5-7 across from the arena. That would have been fun, really the last reason for going, especially if she had a little time to chat, be curious what the setup will be: just show up say a few words and leave or something more relaxed would be cool. ah well. ** Edited by `lag at 7/10/2025, 12:07:06 PM

You missed a great comeback win. Tons of fun. Go Mystics!

Did you go to the VT get-together w/ coach Duffy?
I can't imagine she came up just for that, maybe combine the trip with some recruiting, I dunno. Still they have their big football shindig with Pry out route 66 at 2 silos brewery earlier, maybe this was the women's basketball equivalent for NOVA supporters. I considered going anyway - btw I would have been rooting for the Aces with Liz, not the Mystics but coming down from MD and going around the beltway in the afternoon is just not fun. If I ever head down to the 'burg I try to miss am rush hour by leaving around 10am and hoping to be well out 66 before the traffic builds up again. Eagle Bank is a good venue though. (actually their Seat Pleasant location is very doable for me but no restaurants or anything around there) Coincidentally, Eagle Bank is the only place I've seen an NBA game, they gave GMU students like me free tickets when the Capital Arena took over management of Eagle Bank, got to see the tallest and shortest players in the league at that time Manute Bol and Spud Webb. ** Edited by `lag at 7/11/2025, 8:14:22 AM ** Edited by `lag at 7/11/2025, 12:06:43 PM

No. Didn't know about it in time and traffic to park was horrendous.
