judging, laughing, pointing...
I've dabbled in posting a few times over the years, but remembering my password turned out to be challenging enough. Especially after a few IPAs. I've kept in touch with a few of the guys on a separate email that we've been bouncing around for 4 or 5 or 10 years - I'll spare their names due to board-shaming events that we've all experienced once or twice, contents would make most blush... think of the board... with no manners. I remember living high on the hog, 2 heinekens, court-side at Hewitt and Sampras final of the USOPEN 2001, you're an angel Joyce those tickets were magic, Hewitt won his first major. A couple days later the buildings came down. Today, he retired... Young lad, lucky talented bastard, I'm not retired. I really love this board, I can't remember when, I remember losing in 87 and shedding a tear, keith smart and the ball just rolling behind the baseline and the clock ticking away, watched that game on a lil black and white tv in my bedroom as a young teenager. 96 stung like a mofo, I swear, when Wallace dunked it we were only down by 1 or so, couldn't hang on. What a year for the Big East though, Iverson, Kittles, Ray Allen, J-Dub. Then the board came, that was cool, we almost went 20-0 and until Lane started raining 3's at Seton Hall like 99 or 00. I posted then, I said it felt like a kick in the gut, Mason responded that he felt similarly ill. I remember being out for a late jog in NYC in 2002; being a Bills fan as well, and coming to grips that they would never win again, I said to myself, man if SU just wins a National Title, I'll be set. Joyce got us tickets in the American Cancer Society Booth to watch Carmelo's first game at the Garden. I was smoking then. It got uncomfortable when the sponsors came into a smoke filled booth, well that's another moment I regret in a long line of regretfulness. Holy though, Carmelo, he did this nifty step back baseline field goal from about 16 feet, we were hooked. And then it happened. Bang zoom to the moon. Spent all my money getting to New Orleans and going to those games, then afterward, in a dark creepy strip club a few blocks of Bourbon St., doamfoam leans over to me and whispers, 'I wish I was rich'. Well. Been a long time, and oddly, I like this team, I think they can win deep in the tourney... they just have to get there. Gbinije man that kid is special, and the role players around him... outstanding. I really hope these guys can put together a great game at UVa. I've hated the Cavs since Sampson left. That was a long time ago. I have spoken, no pants.
