I safely made the trip from Indianapolis, IN to Newport, RI for Big East Media Day. Fourteen hours of driving, 945-miles and just 23-gallons of gas later, but I made it.

For those who don’t know the routine at media day here, it is real simple. Tonight is the clambake, which is an informal event with lots of lobster and alcohol.

Tomorrow is when you can get all the good quotes from the coaches and players. Each coach gives an opening statement, then small groups break out where you can ask each coach or player whatever you would like.

I have a few stories that I want to work on and hopefully things will work out where I can get all of my questions in during the allotted time.

Until then, enjoy this photo of the lobster I ate last year.
