Descent Into Madness


When UC fired their awesome, tracksuit-wearing head coach a few years ago (after he vomited in his car during a DUI stop), they went from being a good college basketball team that choked in the tournament every year to just a shitty team overall. Not good times.

Then they hired this little Irish fella and continued to suck.

This year, however, the sucking stopped for a bit, and they played well enough to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament. By the luck of some nationality that had a day of drinking this week, UC was playing in the DC bracket, so we scalped some tickets, snuck in a bottle of rum (b/c there's no alcohol sold at NCAA tournament games) and watched UC dismantle Missouri. I learned a few things in the process:

1. My jacket pocket easily fits a small bottle of rum
2. Missouri's mascot (a tiger) looks like Chester the Cheetah
3. Kansas fans should be dropped off a cliff
4. Lower-level seats are pretty sweet
5. Angry scalpers may tell you to 'Go Kill Yourself'
6. College band folks are just fatter high school band folks

You know how people look at nerdy band folk and wonder who would be crazy enough to date them aside from other band folk?

The answer is you. You date the band nerd. :-)

True. That's why I feel qualified to make band jokes.

rum + sprite = yuck
rum + diet coke = delish
