    I was picking up food at Tien Ren (formerly Wonderful Vegetarian Restaurant) and he was eating there. I thanked him for the effort this last season and asked him if Rudy would be back. He said he definitely would. Said he'd just talked to him a few minutes earlier and he was doing great -- that the doctors had recently told him there's a 90% chance that after the treatments he'll never have a problem with this again. I told him I was glad and that he needed to hurry back and that we need him. He heartily agreed. I thanked him again for the effort and left. Super nice guy.

    Should have told him that our offense sucked, our team play was horrible, and our coaching was Crap.

    Then tell him to have a nice day.

    Sorry, DD. I was disappointed this year too, but I know they tried hard and this was neither the time nor the place for bashing. I meant everything I said. Just one more thing we disagree about.

    CBFC: Yeah, no pics. But don't you think if I was gonna make up a story I'd come up with a sexier one than bumping into Jim Boylen? Uh, LOL, as the kids say.

    I am very dissapointed. You faded under pressure. Hey it is just the video guy - ask him tough questions like what is the meaning of "Be part of Something Big" or "on the scale of 1-10, how would you rate Larry Smith".

    :rolleyes:

    I would have asked him about hearing him yell "pick for the picker" on the bench, and whether the coaches are trying to dumb it down for Francis/Griffin/Mobley/Posey.

    If you've been reading my occasional posts in GARM you'd know I wouldn't have asked those questions, pressure or not. I'm just not as mad about this year as some of you. Plus, he was such a nice guy I felt like I could ask him anything. Just didn't have anything else to ask. I thought Smith was pretty terrible too, by the way, but I don't fault him that. He was filling in for a sick friend and I'm sure he did his best. Not really his fault his best wasn't good enough.

    I thought of you when I saw him, HP. I knew you'd have had a good question or ten.

    after asking him if rudy would be back, you should have asked, "how do you rudy will be back if don't even know that you'll be back?" ;)

    You are a good man - I was only pulling your legs (with a twist). You handled yourself well under such immense pressure. JimmyB is no doubt a nice guy. I hear Mr. Mean is even a nicer guy. Oh well, I wish them well in whatever endeavor they choose to pitch their tent after this season. ;)
