Lemme provide some Louisville commentary.

1. What's up with errthing being closed at, whatever, 10pm? We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn joint a few blocks from the stadium on Thursday night. I was the first one in at 10am, and the Cardinal Hall of Fame Cafe in the same parking lot as the Hilton didn't open til 11, so I grubbed at Cracker Barrel next door. Started swilling bourbon at 11:10am at Hall of Fame Cafe, really nice sports bar, lots of TVs and hardwood (lulz), and I think "self, this will be a great place to celebrate after the game!"

Pour down the street with thousands of fans back towards the hotel, walk up to the door of Hall of Fame Cafe at 11:05pm...CLOSED. There was an NFL game on at that very moment, and this sports bar was closed. At 11pm on a Thursday. That place could have made thousands of dollars from Clemson fans alone. That had to be a manager decision, because no owner would have intentionally pulled that shit. So then we're like "OMG, I'm so hungry I could eat Arby's!" Walk to the opposite corner to Arby's...CLOSED. Look, man. You get 6, maybe 7 home games a year where tens of thousands of people are on your doorstep, clamoring for your booze and crappy sammiches. The Hilton bar was open, and full of Clemson people. The bartender stayed up with us til 3am, and started drinking with us around 2 when the last of the other tables filtered out.

And on Sunday, downtown, looking for a coffee at 3pm. Dunkin' Donuts...CLOSED. Aight, there's a Starbucks a block away. CLOSED. What in the actual fuck, Luhville?

2. TOTE, reflux spotted you at Churchill Downs, but that was the extent of that interaction. Obed, great meeting up with you at...that bar we were probably supposed to meet up at. We did run into sisofRHTig at Jeff Ruby's, and I apologized on Monday in case we were inappropriate after 14 hours of drinking. Turns out, we weren't. Will do better next time.

3. RH, what the eff, bruh? This trip was TAILORMADE for you. We killed almost 3 bottles of Woodford Double Oaked at the bar on 4th Street Live over the weekend. We even had the hot bartenders hide the bottles so nobody else would be tempted. We had every intention of going to Bardstown for the Bourbon Festival, didn't make it. Then we decided going to local distilleries would be doable, because local. Didn't make it.

4. We booked hotel rooms in South Bend for 12 consecutive weekends. That will be next year's manpass weekend.

5-11. Will discuss in more private conference at ND game.
