Tre Day

At some point this afternoon - earlier than later, if the pundits are to be believed - William & Mary's Tre McBride will become the 69th Tribe football player selected in the NFL draft, and the fifth since 2009.

In his honor, and in celebration of Tribe gridiron greats everywhere (except in that jail in California, you sick fuck), here's a reminder of what McBride did to Delaware two seasons ago. Check out the 0:16 mark, and enjoy.

I don't know what a Blue Hen state of mind is, but it sounds sad. When is Tre projected to go?

Smorgasbord of sports today is great. And I have to say that A-Rod tater (on a 3-0 pitch!!!) last night was sweet. Even though I dislike him, it was good to see him shut up one of the loudest boo sessions I've ever heard.

Will be less funny when he gets plunked on the ass today by Wade Miley. Seems inevitable.

TR said...

And Wade Miley has been pretty shitty. A-Rod's plunking will be in the top of the second, when Yanks are up 4-0 and he's coming up for the second time.

I just went Mothers Day shopping for the wife. And by shopping I mean I went to my tattoo studio to buy her a gift certificate and make an appointment. We're a good match.

Mark said...

Skins have drafted 3 OLinemen. This kind of competent must feel weird for their fans.

zman said...

I played my first league match in two years, singles, losing 3 and 4 but I was in the match the whole time and choked both sets away. This bodes well I think. What does not bode well is that my wrist and shoulder appear to be on fire. I need Advil badly.

rob said...

wade miley is caucasian for 'bag of poop'.

and most experts had mcbride going between 110 and 125.

zman said...

MyCole Pruitt is a dooooooope name.

zman said...

Playawf hawkey!

Mark said...

Arizona drafted a WR who weighs 156 lbs. He's 5'10. How is it possible to weigh that little after 4 years on a college football weight program?

Danimal said...

Marls currently experiencing Apple Blossom. Proud.

rob said...

he wearing a lucky shirt? joke for one, the one hopes.

rob said...

can't believe i jinxed tre like that

rob said...

total reverse jinx!

Marls said...

The Apple Blossom is fantastic, even in abbreviated form. It's a must do mini summit in 2016.

Mark said...

Florida had more players drafted than games they won last season. 8 to 7. 6 from that pathetic fucking offense.

Mark said...

3 other former Florida players who transferred were drafted as well. Fire Will Muschamp again.

Marls said...

Lee Greenwood, Marcus Allen & one of the Jonas brothers all in Winchester today.

Squeaky said...

About to play poker for with a guy wearing a Tebow T-shirt who won $2500 on the derby.

zman said...

I'm stunned that Mr. Z did not win today.

zman said...

Xzavier Dickson might be the best name in the draft.

Danimal said...

Marls is hooked. Let's do it boys.

Mark said...

Spurs-Clippers about to tip. Game 7. Two of the 4-5 best teams in the league. The best power forward of all time. The 3rd or 4th best point guard of all time. Can you tell I'm excited?

rob said...

i'm in a hotel room in lancaster, pa where i need to turn the tv off in 45 minutes. can you tell i'm excited?

zman said...

I just wanna dance!

Mark said...

Rob's affiliation with Sparkle Motion bums me out.

Mark said...

Not that anyone, myself included, will be watching but tonight's 48 Hours episode is a case my wife worked.

Mark said...

If you're fighting a boxing match tonight, what's your walk out music?

Danimal said...

Lancaster PA...home of Jj weaver and mark adams...2 stalwarts in our golf world.

rob said...

'short people' by randy newman.

mayhugh said...

Either "The Choice is Yours" by Black Sheep or Danger by Blahzay.

mayhugh said...

Or maybe F*cking in the Bushes by Oasis (stole this from the Snatch fight scene)

Danimal said...

At a house party next door....southern cal grads....my boy tells me 3 hours ago that Tony Boselli is coming over. I'm like....pfft. whatever russ. He's here. Armando 1. Danimal 0.

mayhugh said...

First undercard fight over. Entertaining, but one-sided. Probably accelerated the main event by 10-12 minutes.

mayhugh said...

First Floyd interview of the night. Floyd seems too reserved. He hasn't flipped the switch yet.

mayhugh said...

It reminded me of Hulk Hogan's interviews before he lost the Wrestlemania Match to Ultimate Warrior.

Mark said...

I go 'Til I Collapse' by Eminem/Nate Dogg or 'Shut 'Em Down' by Public Enemy.

Mark said...

Good God. This might be the best game Chris Paul has ever played. One one good leg no less.

Mark said...

Matt Barnes was a monster defensively tonight.

Mark said...

My wife is in Jacksonville visiting her best friend. That friend is married to a Filipino fellow. They're having a fight party at the house. My wife has little to no interest in sports. Unfortunate timing for her trip.

mayhugh said...

She's not going to gain any interest tonight. They have done everything in their power to drag the pre-fight stuff out. It looks like we will be underway around 10-15 minutes from now.

mayhugh said...

Manny looks the opposite of focused. My optimism is fading.

mayhugh said...

Round 1 - Manny looks tentative, may have landed 2 punches. FLoyd looks like Floyd. Manny needs to step it up.

Mark said...

This fight is about to get good. Pacquiao is gaining confidence and aggression.

mayhugh said...

The speed gap is the narrowest it has ever been with Floyd in the ring. Manny still not landing much in the flurries.

Mark said...

Agreed. It looks great and the crowd reacts but Manny's not landing much during those flurries.

mayhugh said...

I don't know how much energy one has to expend to chase Floyd - Manny lunges at air about 3-5 times a round when Floyd looks like he's on the ropes. I don't see Manny significantly stepping up his punching activity for that reason.

mayhugh said...

Floyd completely outclassed Manny for most of the fight, but most obviously in the last 3rd.

Mark said...

Floyd is and was a terrible dude. He also is and was the best boxer on Earth.

TR's wife wins.

Squeaky said...

Was hanging out at a friends party one town over for the derby/fight. Bunch of SEC folks. As you all know I'm drunk and three sheets to the winds. Yeah, me. Local taxi asks where an I am I going? Direct for $20 on meter $40 in pocket.

Thank god my taxes we on time.


Hi Gheorghies!

Late night record recommendation:
If you can find it. The White Stripe's Amazonian White Lights. Vinyil only.

rob said...

jose mourinho has lost once at stamford bridge as chelsea's head man. in 95 matches. that's fucking preposterous.

Dave said...

record length epic on sentence of dave today-- better than that fight last night, i promise.

rob said...

i feel like squeaky's late night drunken ramblings didn't get enough run here. top notch stuff.

Squeaky said...

My head hurt an awful lot the next day. Too many beers and down one liver.
