My awkward Joe Lunardi story

[Timonen]

Pretty much this. Although he definitely was joking, it's was still pretty douchy.

Now that I think about it though, I've actually had quite a bit of run-ins with athletes (I graduated in 2011). My freshman year I sat right between Onuaku and Ongenaet in a huge lecture hall. They only came to class for tests though so never really talked to them. I had a few classes with Scoop and he would just sit in class with his Dre Beats and flirt with the teacher or other girls. He was actually pretty funny. .

Other than bball, Mike Holmes and Bud Tribbey from the football team were in my very first class and I became friendly acquaintances with them throughout my 4 years. Bud was especially hilarious. .

Athletes in classes is a fun sub-sub topic here. I was in a philosophy class with john wallace and was also in his smaller weekly recitation. i always tell everyone i was really impressed because he was there EVERY class...although it should be noted that he had his head down and went to sleep within 2 minutes of each class starting.

I also had a sociology class about Family with Rick Jackson. We got partnered up for a project where we had to pretend we were a couple and how we would delegate the tasks of the marriage...It was pretty awkward and obviously he was the woman. Needless to say we kinda made a joke out of the whole thing. Every time I saw him out after that he would always give me love though. He was cool.

Rick Jackson threatened to knock my friend out in Armory Square one night for literally nothing. Changed my view of him a little bit.

He was actually pretty funny. Wes Johnson used to see this girl on the soccer team that lived next to me on South Campus. One time my mom was in town for something and he was outside on the phone. She is a huge Orangemen fan herself and very outgoing, so she just goes over and starts talking to him right next to his pickup. She said he was really polite and used the word mam when talking to her...She was very impressed. I also had a sociology class about Family with Rick Jackson.

Lastly, I would always run into Jonny Flynn late night at like Acropolis or Cosmos and he always had a huge posy of girls all over him but he was super outgoing and always laughing. He seemed like a very happy kid.

I also once saw Arthur Jones bring an extremely drunk girl home that had passed out in a lawn on south campus. Talk about a reeeeally nice kid. Honestly in my experience the football players were the most down to earth, followed by basketball. Lacrosse bros were complete a**holes from my experience (Sid Smith once tried to fight me because he was drunk and started throwing cans at my car) Steve Keogh was really chill though (He would always be walking around campus smoking cigs which I thought was strange for a D1 athlete.

I laughed out loud about Rick being the woman.

But really man...what is your car doing getting in the way of the cans Sid Smith was throwing? You were clearly in the wrong. :bat:

I have so many fight stories from Sutters Mill before it was closed down. I went to HS with a few of the bouncers up there and was pretty good friends with all of them.

I was there the night that Adrian Autry got his clock cleaned out front. I was there when the place got shut down because of Mike Edwards. Two bouncers went down the ramp holding him off the ground and opened both sets of doors with his head as they threw him out. What happened after that got the place shut down.

I was there for a lot of stuff with the basketball players. I won't get into detail.

We used to call it Friday Night at the Fights.

What got Sutters closed down? Always wondered what happened to that place.
