Lloydball is contagious
After I posted my entry last night, I ended up going out for a couple hours. RoopDogg made a last minute trip to the Hartford area to hang out for the weekend. He and UNICorn were watching the Div 1AA football semifinal between UNI and Texas St. I went over to catch the thrilling 4th quarter and OT finish at UNICorn's apartment. UNI won! UNI scored a TD with 1:30 left in the 4th quarter. After succeeding on a two-point conversion to tie the game, Texas State had 1:30 and 3 timeouts with the ball at their 30yd line. They decided to take a knee and play for overtime. I was stunned by this decision. The score was 37-37. Texas St. had scored almost at will all game. Why play for overtime. It made me wonder if Lloyd Carr was giving coaching lessons to the Texas St. coach. Many times, Lloyd would play passively at the end of a half instead of going for a score. At least Lloyd would call a couple running plays before taking a knee. How could you not play for the win!!!! UNI kicked a FG in OT and then intercepted the Texas St. QB to end the game. UNICorn was thrilled! ESPN had a classic shot of some random fan with a priceless look of disbelief when Texas St. decided to play for OT. They showed that fan about 20 more times before the game was finally over.
Also, I forgot to relay a story from this past week. A few of us were trying to figure out who will be around for New Years Eve so that we can figure out if we should plan some sort of gathering. Last week, two different people came up to me on the same day to ask for details about my New Years party. Caught off guard, I asked what they were referring to. Apparently, a rumor had started that I was hosting a big New Years Eve party at my apartment. I have no idea who started this rumor, but apparently no one was going to own up to it. Not that I was upset about it, but I didn't want everyone thinking that I was hosting a party before I talked to TheCrazyCanuck about it. Since she didn't mind (and was not even going to be in town), I decided to officially volunteer 1SD for a New Years Eve party. I haven't thrown a party since the "Post-Exam Post-Halloween Par-Tay" last November, so it was time to play host again. Clear your calendars. I expect everyone to attend!! I will not accept "I do not live in CT" as an excuse for not coming to my party.
On an unrelated note, this site needs a spell check option. I'm too lazy to copy a post into Word to look for spelling errors.

am I the only one who reads your blog? I think so. yay for gary writing an entire blog just for me!!!!!
you read our blog, you should know that we already made (tentative) plans for new years (right girlys?).
i'm so confused... roopdogg, you don't live in hartford? I assumed you all live in the same city. If he lives near new haven I know a super cute doctor that I could hook him up with. I hear she's a great kisser.
I'm so sleepy. I'm going to take a nap now, so you can add that to the list of things I said I was going to do today in my earlier comment.
Mouse,
I'm slowly spreading the word of this blog to others. Some people just choose not to comment. Boo urns to them.
RoopDogg lives a little over an hour away from here (two hours if you drive as slowly as RoopDogg). I pretty sure he is within 30 minutes of New Haven. New Haven is south of Hartford. NYC is Southeast. RoopDogg is more in the direction of NYC than New Haven.
Thanks for offering to hook me up with your super cute doctor friend. I'm glad you are looking out for your friends that you have actually met before. I appreciate it. Really.
ummmm... last time I offered to hook you up with a friend of mine you told me she was (and I quote) "kind of a snob".
And you KNOW that when I saw her over thanksgiving break I told her that you said that (the girl who was the piccolo player in marching band is who I'm talking about). Don't worry, she thought it was hilarious.
Oh no! there are lots of other people who read this? they probably think I'm crazy! haha! HI GARY'S FRIENDS! On second thought, I don't believe you gary. I don't really think anyone else reads this. imaginary friends of gary, reveal yourself!
obviously, I have gained my second wind from my short nap. I should take advantage of it and get back to work.
You know what they say: Work is for suckers.
It took me awhile, but I remember who Mouse is referring to. I don't recall specifically calling her a snob (how could I tell when I may have talked to her for like 15 minutes), but I remember that the people she was close with from the MMB were not people I particularly liked. I guess I assumed she was guilty by association. I should stop doing that...
Thanks for ratting me out Mouse! It sure isn't the worst thing I have ever said to you. :)
