Only because it would have given us something meaningful to do instead of sit in a seedy hotel room for three straight days. Note to self: don't get stranded with Joe Meloni and Brian Tedder in a boring North Carolina suburb ever again. Damn you, car rental places. Thank god Taco Bell was in walking distance.
I learned far too much about the both of you.
Just remember coach, I was there on those September afternoons interviewing you after practice well before all those bandwagon reporters showed up from those 'big-time' newspapers.
That's right Matt Vautour; I'm regrettably surrendering my seat at Mullins, but at least I don't have to look at your giant head anymore. Oh, and please stop stealing our talent.
Ah yes, the men's basketball team, or as I like to refer to them: the team that refused to stop winning irrelevant games. Its run through the NIT was so irrelevant in fact that I referred to it as the 'National Invitational Tournament (it's actually 'Invitation') in every story I wrote. Or maybe that's just shoddy reporting; I'm not sure which…
I still can't believe how T-Ford parlayed an appearance in the NIT finals into a new job. Simply amazing. I appreciate how you lost in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament for the third-consecutive year and failed to make the NCAAs. I'm also glad we made the trip to Atlantic City for one worthless game; I appreciate it Travis. Some gambling time would have nice.
I thought the trip to North Carolina was unnecessary and overly expensive, that was nothing compared to all the traveling for basketball. Who thought we'd have to go the damn Carrier Dome twice in one season? Though, the impromptu trip to Nashville was fun (sorry for not telling you about that one, Eli).
I didn't know you strung for The Herald in Syracuse?? Why didn't you tell me??
For the most part those trips to BC and URI were enjoyable. It's a good test of your objectivity when the team you're covering goes on the road and beats its rival while fans chant expletives about your school in the background.
