Lost: luggage, mind, and internet connection. Reward if found.

What would a trip involving a change of planes be without lost luggage? One delayed plane + four checked bags + 25 minute layover in Dallas = recipe for disaster. The funny part is that only half of the luggage was lost. My suitcase and the camera case arrived as planned, but Justin's bag and the bag carrying most of the camera equipment took the long route to San Antonio.

You would think this would be a simple fix. Put the bags that were left in Dallas on the next plane to San Antonio (and with the Final Four, there are plenty of planes to San Antonio) and everyone is happy.

Apparently nothing is as easy as it seems. Southwest sent the bags to San Antonio, but then the hotel somehow misplaced them. So just like last week we were on a wild-goose chase, only searching for luggage this time.

After the luggage issue was solved, we lost our minds trying to get internet access in the TV bunker. Since the NCAA doesn't want us streaming video online, the obvious solution is to not allow internet in the bunker. Never mind the fact that some of us have to FTP our files back to the station.

But perhaps the biggest loss of the day was Rodrick Stewart. Stewart fractured his kneecap at the end of practice and is headed back to Lawrence for surgery. While he doesn't get significant minutes, he was still a reliable guard coming off the bench and during the Final Four you need all the depth you can get.

We know that there is no way to solve the problem of lost luggage, that's a given with traveling. And as for losing our minds, that too is a chance you take with this job. So if anyone has an answer for how to get the NCAA on your side, let us know.
