I married a Domer. She's a real fan - she knows the players by their numbers.
Before our first kid was born we negotiated that all boys would Blue and all girls would be Irish. This was a risk bc we didn't find out what it was before it was born.
So far I'm two for two... Two little Michigan fans.
Is a diehard UofM fan - he actually hates ND.
At the end of the prayer at our wedding reception he dropped a "Go Blue" on a largely ND crowd.
I've thought about taking him to a game but I am a lush and I'd still like to get into heaven.
And as for my thoughts on becoming an ND fan... Never a consideration - besides God doesn't care about football.
as a point of reference that cocksucker Laettner's shot came w/ what 2.1 seconds left and he had to get a baseball pass 3/4 court to get to where he was..... I would have pressured Turner to get the ball as close to the baseline as possible which would affect how close to the basket his shot attempt would be.
I'm also a hater of the zone in late game - deadball situations too.
Thats just me though.
being the center of your own universe while you can... that'll all soon change.
The wife just called - she forgot her ID.
No beer for more beer for Z.Barwis tonight.
Now to go to the cupboard and see what I can mix w/ my limited liquor stash.
Sigh.
in that situation you have to pressure the ball and make the ball handler go around you/left or right - not straight up the court unabated.
I would have agressively denied him the ball in the first place.
I can't bring myself to use that group of guys as an example of what I want this basketball program to be again.
I loved the athleticism, the energy, the skill, the flash, the "swagger" and more than anything the wins but.... ya' gotta' admit - it all came at a cost.
I loved it growing up but it sucks that good players get traded for bad ones w/ overinflated contracts b/c dead money expiring contracts hold as much value as talent.
I only say this b/c Detroit is stuck w/ so many shooting guard types (Stuck, BenG, Rip, Tayshaun, Daye, etc) that they can't draft the best player - they have to go need instead.
NBA needs to move away from full guaranteed contracts - soon.
BTW - I love Wall and Cousins. Hate Kentucky but love Wall and Cousins (that is one big bitch).
I don't want Sloth running my basketball program.
In this day and age - I am very skeptical of one program (Kentucky, OSU, etc.) landing 3-4 top10 recruits in 1 year.
I don't want to be that school.
That and Thad is a grade A dickfuck.
"working girl" who had the Cadillac on her side. On her lower back she had a tat of the Detroit skyline.
Gotta' tell ya' it worked for me. She absorbed all of my cash that night.
I'll be damned if he will ever be loved by a group of strangers more than he was at that moment.
He had a frickin' entourage escorting him down that sideline. I think he floated into the endzone on the energy of the stadium alone.
This thread is making me sad.
I loved all of these wins and have the broken liver to prove it but.... Gawd we had some streaks going until the last few years. PSU was getting owned for a LONNNNNGGGGGG time. Those effin' Sparties couldn't sh** for a long time - and they had to cheat to get their last win.... I can tell you - I never took it for granted but these 2 years have really strengthened my love for this school and this team.
BTW is anyone on Penn State gonna' cover MM on the last play? Still gives me shivers.
He was great. A genuinely nice kid. I asked if he would let my son take his picture w/ him. He was genuinely surprised "a who me?"-type of reaction.
My then 3yr old chickened out but Cardo was the only signature that we got that day and I was totally cool w/ that.
P.S. For those who have kids - you have to take them to Fan Day. Totally worth every minute even if you don't wait in line for signatures.
Bring your own football and play catch w/ you kid on the practice field = AWESOME
Started w/ a couple of Hopslams but they're too hoppy for me.
Scaled back to the ol' standby Heineken.
I'll know I've gone to far tonight if I talk myself into a "goodnight yayga bawm".
I've said too much.

I'm not okay with this if we have to play a mud game. His only weekness is/would be mud covered people/defenders.... He can't see them.
That and if he does get a devastating injury he will have to self destruct and explode our beautiful stadium.
Lloyd is omnipresent.
Me.... Want.... See.... Now....
Whats superimposed?
I think of MSU. I know its not a chargeable offense to be a Sparty fan but...
I hate you.
