NADIR ALERT

This is a goddamn work of performance art. It's as if Andy Kaufman chose basketball as his milieu rather than professional wrestling. I can't look away.

    Reminded of stories, apocraphyl perhaps, that W&M hoops players in 1980s and '90s headed to CAA Tournament with no change of clothes for weekend and only stuff for spring break after inevitable first-round loss. Only this check-out is a couple weeks early.

    Quick check of record book shows Tribe with fewest points in a game since 1946 -- 33-24 loss to Little Creek Amphibious Base. That game may have been played underwater.

    I refuse to believe that "Little Creek Amphibious Base" is a real thing

    Their early stuff was real, before they went commercial.

    Little Creek Amphibious Base is 15 minutes from my house. They have a plaque from that ‘46 defensive performance.

    Dude on the beach asked us to take a pic of him and his peeps. And then he stayed and now is playing spikeball with our drunk gang. And it’s Jason Williams. And he said, “I’m playing on one leg so you guys should win.”

    Bahamas!

    So not White Chocolate
    not the guy who killed a limo driver
    but the guy who ruined his career in a motorcycle accident?

    Glad we could get this straightened out

  22. Whitney3:50 PM, February 25, 2022

    Yep. And he lost at spikeball to our friends. And then laughingly said let’s go play a real sport… like basketball.

    Saw TR in his new CO digs. It was good to catch up and wish I had more time.

    Snow at Copper and Vail was pretty good.

    Congratulations, Rob. Hope you found a good place in Dallas to celebrate.

    OBX Dave- thanks for the SNL heads up. I missed it because my wife and I had friends in town visiting from New Jersey and we met up with them and a bunch of other friends at a local watering hole. As luck would have it, my parents showed up to the same place because one of their favorite local bands were playing there (my parents favorite thing is to go out and dance- they're fantastic dancers- to bands they like). Long story short, we had a great time. Did an Irish exit around midnight. My Mom ordered a double Jameson to end her night and she's feeling it today.

    Flying back to Virginia after four solid days of drinking (predominately big rum beverages) and celebrating friends in the Bahamas. My liver is so angry with me that he asked to be moved to a different seat apart from me.

    Happy Belated Birthday, Mr. KQ.

    If there is an extra for Rage/RTJ I might be a taker.
