CHARLOTTESVILLE --- Just my luck: Drive three hours from D1scourse headquarters in Glen Burnie, only to be stuck sitting around and waiting for the forseeable future.

It's closing in on an hour before game time, and neither Virginia nor UMBC is anywhere to be seen for their first round NCAA lacrosse tournament meeting. No fans are anywhere to be found, other than at the adjacent baseball stadium. Heck, even Quint Kessenich hasn't popped up, and he's pretty much everywhere.

What can be seen is lightning. And rain. Lots and lots of rain.

So those plans to make it back to the Burn by midnight? Pretty much dashed.
