Re: Gametime beverages and good mojo

OK, logically speaking what I or anyone else here drinks has absolutely zero effect on the outcome of a game.

HOWEVER...

At around the 7:45 mark, I decided to open my last bottle of Harpoon Summer Ale. The word Summer should be a clue as to how infrequently I drink beer at home, even during a game. But I had one during the Gonzaga game, so I figured, what the hell.

And SUre enough, we started to score. And score. I started to scream louder and louder. Drank a little more. We kept scoring. They kept missing. Yelling my trademarked ditty for when the other team is at the line, "Miss you sucka miss!" was only somewhat effective. Singing my trademarked ditty for when SU is at the line, "Make your free throws, make your free throws, make your free throws right now. Right now you gotta make your free throws, make your free throws right now", to the tune of Darling Clementine, worked much better.

And then the game was over. And JB was being gracious and humble, and so were Gbinije and Richardson, who thanked God in a not obnoxious way. And the nets came down. And we get to do this again on Saturday, in Houston. Wish I could be there. But I'll settle for being here with my compadres.

I had wine in the first half. Realizing my mistake, I went back to the Sip of Sunshine about half way through the second half. You're welcome all.
