Maybe I SHOUDN'T have had those last 17 pints of Guinness...

You guys know my current job situation, right? Well, our former CEO came back to town last night and sprang for an outrageous boozefest at the famous faux Irish Pub Fado. Fado, I believe, is Irish for "fake." A lot of old faces were there, a lot of good people who were already let go by Tyco. I even got to chat with a young lady with whom I engaged in sexual intercourse back in the summer of 2000. How charming. I'm not sure what I said but I'm sure it was a terrible experience for her to run into me last night. A few of us, the former CEO included, capped off the evening by crossing the street to a dance club called "Uranus." Not a gay club. But imagine being totally shitfaced and somebody saying "I want to go to Uranus." In any case, I certainly put the perfect topper on events by attempting to breakdance and violating all our HR policies while "dancing" with the secretary of our corporate legal counsel.

Have you guys noticed how Guinness actually solidifies your shits? It's like drinking a big glass o' cheese. I should have gotten up this morning and had a big bowl of Colon Blow, because today has not been pleasant when I visited John J. Crapper's device.

I taped last night's UMass game and watched it today and let me say, this is a different team. They are moving without the ball and moving the ball so effectively now that they simply bear no resemblance to the team which was so terrible earlier in the season. Lappas is getting a lot out of these guys right now.
Things I liked:
E's passing. That dude has real basketball skills.
Bay Area Cat Martin's "game." He too is a basketball player. I think we'll grow to really enjoy him.
Kyle and B.A.C.'s use of the bounce-pass into the post.
Kit was Kit. Awesome. I just love that guy.
Shannon is the league's most improved player this year. I know he won't win that award but he's actually a better player than Monty ever was and he looks totally different from last season. Yes, I said that. No, it's fair to say it but he just does everything so well and he's such a tremendous athlete, it makes you wonder what he could have done if he'd been in a different situation. Oh well, no matter that.
The Great Rajneesh Blizzard was wonderful. Again, you see flashes of what kind of player he might have been at some point, if he simply weren't nuts.

One thing I didn't like was Micah's bizarro passing attempts and occasional drifts into cloud-cuckoo land. What was that thing where he just threw the ball as hard as he could at the backboard?

Kyle Wilson must learn to move his feet more on defense. He grabs too much. I don't like that.

Anything else?

[> [> [> Yeah, what he said. This is the only place I have to "talk" about UMass hoops, because I don't post anymore on any of the other sites. As for Kyle's grabbing, could you be more specific? I agree with Rob's assessment of the team and the play of the various players. It will be interesting to see how they play tomorrow versus a solid X squad. A win would be tree-men-dos -- Mel, 12:26:08 03/01/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> Ohhhhhhh -- I am just so confused. I thought you meant he keeps grabbing himself! One of my best friends growing up used to do that all the time when playing hoops. I never asked him why though. -- Man who did not think the other man would provide a serious answer to the grabbing question, 18:55:47 03/01/02 Fri
