Pittsburgh Loses

Georgetown beat Pittsburgh 61-58 this morning (or afternoon depending on time zone and how late you sleep on weekends). Hit up a bar Champp’s (yes, 2 p’s) in Richfield, MN – a little outside of Minneapolis. Total local bar, but after a couple Sunday mornings in a row there, we’re totally in with Barb, the bartender. Only people interested in watching ESPN Full Court games – Big East action – and I was clearly the only person in the entire bar excited when Gtown hung on to oust the #9 team in the nation (barely). So threw back some brewski’s, celebrated quickly and more quietly then normal, and came back to the pad for a solid 2 hour nap. Watched the Super Bowl with a bunch of peeps at a friends house. Pittsburgh won that less important game. At least that city won’t be totally depressed tonight. Off to Colombia in the A.M.

A Minor Scare

I’m too far away to have a heart attack in my hotel room and expect to be found and saved. So either it’s ESPN’s fault or my own suspect translation, but before going to commercial break this morning, I heard (translated), “Leading by 4 points with less than 4 seconds left, did Georgetown manage to lose to Notre Dame?” I pounded my chest a couple times Farley- not King Kong-style and waited patiently for the show’s return. 2 minutes later I was watching Bowman foul Colin (something, he’s white) and believed all my suspicions were true. OT1 – had a chance to lose the game. OT2 – thankfully we got out with a win. I think it’s because I didn’t do the Jesus pose and post.
