My wonderful trip to Ohio got cut a day or so short because RIT's men's hockey team made it to the championship semi-finals in Indiana on Saturday before classes started. So instead of driving to Cleveland and going home Saturday we went in the other direction up to Notre Dame College in South Bend and made it to the hockey game.
Turns out we're kind of awesome and the men's team (seated 16th) beat the 1st seat Minnesota State so RIT played again Sunday night against Omaha. Of course we stayed. No matter that we were 8 hours away from school and classes started for a couple of us 10am Monday. Did I mention that the game didn't start till 7:30? No? Well yeah that happened. No big deal.
Sunday rolled around and we were pretty excited for the game but until 6:30 when doors opened we had to entertain ourselves. We managed to keep the hotel room a little later and didn't get kicked out until noon so that was great. We went bowling (because spring break in Indi equals bowling, duh!) until around 2 or 2:30. We ran out of things to do so we just ended up going to a sports bar to hang out and try to catch another game of the championships.
Jump to the four of us sitting in a small booth at 'Between the Buns' deciding what to eat. Then we came up with the great idea to just order appetizers and snack until the game on TV at 5. (This bar happened not to have ESPN U where the game was playing so we re-located around 5 for the TV game). Cue 3 hours of us making snacks stretch. It worked!
Don't be fooled by the lettuce and tomatoes, we started off with loaded nachos which was smothered in layers of melted cheese and ground beef. It was so good. Aside from the fact that three of the four of us don't like black olives, it was an incredible bowl of nachos.
This lasted us awhile. Then we took a little break before round two. Mozzarella sticks, thick cut fries, and the biggest onion rings I've ever seen. These guys were basically onions cut in half and deep fried. They were crazy. The mozz sticks were really good too but I'm a sucker for fries so I'd have to say they were my favorite thing.
Thumbs up to our last meal in South Bend. Way to go between the buns! See you next time (if there is one....)
