We were just walking back from a restaurant in Cleveland last year, the day before the Buckeye Regional. For some reason, the team splits up. Oh yeah, someone had to stop by 7-11. Getting back on track, so 10 of us are walking back to the hotel, 5 are walking elsewhere. It turns out that this guy who just got released from jail approaches the other group, shows them his jail ID (at the same time saying "Want to see my jail ID?"), and asks them for money. Obviously, they ran like no other.

So we get back to the hotel at around the same time because we started running as well (just because it was dark and we were getting creeped out by some very, very sketchy people) and the other group tells us the story. But it was pretty funny afterwards, we started sneaking up on and scaring the living daylights out of each other. We always manage to turn a bad situation into a good one..

Yeah, in 2003 we walked from our hotel to a local Denny's, at the SoCal Regional. Keep in mind that the surrounding area of USC is pretty much the infamous South Central. So we were getting pretty freaked out by all the shady characters, and to add on I was wearing a bright red shirt and walking next to a guy in a blue shirt. Not a good idea...
