Gheorghe: The Roadtrip

In what would actually be the makings of a mediocre buddy comedy, the Teej and Rob are braving a snowy I-95 to take in the Tribe's afternoon tilt against the Drexel Dragons in the City of Brotherly Love. Apparently, "City of Douchebags With Inferiority Complexes" was already taken. 

Our intrepid correspondents will be venturing into the hallowed confines of the Drexel Athletic Center whose denizens refer to themselves as the "DAC Pack". 


As you can see from the photo, this is not a cool bunch. Any interfan violence will clearly be nerd on nerd crime. 

Drexel is a 4.5 point favorite. I would take the Tribe in this one, but as always wait for Rob to make his pick and then "Costanza" it.

Don't mean to one-up you guys, but I will be in the 15th row for DePaul-Seton Hall in Newark tonight.

Bad b-ball with the family with the upside of possibility of us all getting mugged. Good times.

TR said...

Seton Hall has lost to St. Peter's, Fairleigh Dickinson and something called Mercer. They are 225th in the nation in rebounds.

DePaul has lost to Southern Miss and Illinois State. Dallas Comegys is rolling over in his grave.

Tom Gola Gym on campus of La Salle ain't a bad facility. Good, but sloppy, game so far

Mark said...

Something called Mercer? How dare you? It's at least the 12th best college in Georgia.

In other news, I may murder my contractor today. If that happens, it's been a fun ride Gheorghies.

Hot hollies and cold women! Ha!

Marls said...

Western michigan is really fucking cold. 4 foot snowdrift on the front walk this am. Shoveling in 8 degree weather is kinda sucky. At least the wind chill makes it feel like -18.

TR said...

You should've married a Haitian woman, Marls. Then you would have better weather when visiting in-laws.

zman said...

Higher AIDS risk though.

Mark said...

Mercer is in the same conference as Florida Gulf Coast. The Atlantic Sun, I think. It's a collection of little known southern schools that cater to average students. As you might imagine, the coeds at most of these schools are decidedly above average.

zman said...

I once spelled out the "shitty schools have the best looking women" truism to a woman with degrees from Amherst and Stanford. She did not agree.

rob said...

if you had to spell it out for her, maybe she wasn't as smart as her degrees suggest

Clarence said...

Friends over drinking beers by the fire. Buddy requested The Cult on the hi-fi. Listening to "Aphrodisiac Jacket" for the first time in a long while. It's good.

And telling Dave stories. They're bad.

Move is finished. House is still having appliances and such installed as we unpack. My contractor is the worst. The movers were great. This house will be great too. Once, you know, we don't have people working in it.

Item 1 from game: there are 500 pp in the Prudential Center, but we found beer.

Item 2: my kids made the jumbotron...each dancing from a pole to Blurred Lines during a TO. Their very first pole dance.

TR said...

SHU's Fuquan Edwin has 22 pts through the first 17 minutes. Impressive. The Pirates are fun to watch. The Blue Demons...not so much.

zman said...

Fuquan, fuqutwo, I'll fuqu them all.

Dave said...

the lobster telephone. or is that loobster?

wish i could be there to hear clarence tell stories about me . . .

Mark said...

Evidently the cable company was a little jealous of my disdain for my contractor because they went above and beyond their normal level of shitty customer service today. Thank god for wifi and my Apple TV.

Mark said...

And whiskey. Don't forget whiskey. It's about that time.

rob said...

honestly, i'm really trying to pick the tribe games straight. i seem to have no ability whatsoever to divine which tribe squad will show up on any given evening.

TR said...

Landed in Denver a while ago, but my board bag did not. Crushing b/c it means no half day on the slopes. Leaves me with nothing to do. Or should I say, one very interesting thing to possibly do.

The Gods of Fate have pushed me in a certain direction. Gonna be an interesting afternoon/evening.

When keeping it real goes wrong ...
