OT - I met Terp from 'Sean & Terp' last nite

Submitted by MH20 on
Before I begin: The details of this encounter are a bit hazy in my mind. That's what $1 beers at Griffins games will do to you. So last nite I'm out with my buddies in downtown GR after the Griffins game (they lost but I was so drunk I couldn't have cared less) and go into Gardella's, which can be a bit of a dive but I like it because it has no cover and cheap drinks. So anyways we walk in and my buddy goes, "Hey Terpstra!" and walks over to a guy in the corner and shakes his hand. Without even thinking, I blurt out, "Hey are you Terp from Sean & Terp?" to which he replied that he was. Anyways, he seemed like a real cool guy and down to earth, even though he's only 25 and co-hosts a show on ESPN Radio. We talked about next season and Michigan's prospects. He's a reader of the blog and a fan of Fearless Leader. I also got into a debate with a guy he was with about whether DG or Denard should be backup next season (I said no way DG would be ready and he thought otherwise). He also kept telling me that DG could still enroll early, to which I said no way (I had not seen the news on Rivals nor been near a computer since I left work). Another guy was an Iowa fan and told me some funny stuff about the BHGP blog, but I pretty much forgot everything. Basically the only thing I remember from that was yelling "Oops Pow Surprise!" over and over. One last thing: If you didn't know, 'Sean & Terp' don't actually broadcast from the same location. Sean works at a station in Detroit (WDFN I think) and remotes into ESPN 96.1 for their show.

Terp has always seemed reasonable, but Sean gets on my nerves. Not because of the whole Sparty thing, but more because of his voice and the stupid things he says. Anyway, cool story.

I was the other guy with Terp haha! I was super drunk and the details are very fuzzy for me for the same reasons. Glad to see a fellow mgoblogger out and about tho. I seem to recall you saying something about how Kirk Ferentz is the worst coach in the B10? And me arguing with you about that for a while. Anyway...I live with Terp and he is a really good friend of mine. Thanks a bunch for the support of his show! He tries his best but Sean's raging case of the Spartyroids likes to shine through a little bit on the show.

Small friggin' world. About Ferentz...I don't even know why I said that. Clearly I was not to be taken seriously because I'd say that Zook is the worst B10 coach. And frankly I'm surprised I was still able to stand up. Yeah, Sean does get a little annoying at times but overall I really like the show. And even with Sean's Sparyness it's still way better than listening to Simonson and having my ears bleed. I can't stand that pompous asshole. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that about 100 times.

I woke up in my buddy's bed (he went home with his girlfriend so I crashed in his room). I told him I was going to jackoff on his pillow. I also told my other buddy that I was going to take a shit on his bed if he went and banged his downstairs neighbor. He did. I don't know what I have against other people's beds.

I like Terp's views and whatnot...he seems pretty cool. He kind of slurs his words, but I've since been able to get past it and enjoy the show. Sean on the other hand drives me crazy sometimes. His stuttering and the fact that his feed sounds like it's compressed to hell ruin it for me. His points are fine and his Spartyness doesn't really bother me, it's just his presentation.
