Good morning folks. We are less than three days away from the showdown in Columbus and the traveling has already begun for fans and media heading to Ohio for the big game.
I will be arriving in Columbus early this afternoon and kicking off SBI's coverage from U.S. national team training. You can also look for another installment of Your Questions Answered at some point this morning.
If you haven't already read it, here is my ESPN.com piece on five U.S. veterans who have enjoyed their share of success against Mexico.
Since today is a travel day I couldn't help but wonder just how many members of the SBI Mafia will be making the trip to Columbus. If you will be traveling to Columbus for the USA-Mexico match let us know where you will be traveling from, how many people you will be traveling with and how you plan on getting to Columbus.
Enjoy the morning (and look out for a new installment of Your Questions Answered some time before noon.)
