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
