Hello,
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Patrick J. Sauer. I am a new contributor here, class of '93, Communications and Rhetorical Studies major.
That particular degree has been eliminated, so I can't say for sure if I am technically an alum.
That being said, I am freelance writer in Gotham who loves MU hoops --give or take a 2.6 GPA-- who is currently enjoying Spring Break '07.
To wit:
MON: I worked, but it was my wife's birthday (MU, class of '93), so we had a nice fish dinner and a bottle of wine.
TUES: A former roommate, John "Norm" Henert, got engaged in NYC and wanted to meet up for lunch. Our lunch consisted of salads and Bud Lites...too many to accomplish much.
WED: I took my wife to the Shins concert for her birthday ("The Shins will change your life, dude.") I accomplished umm, my brackets. Going to bed though, I'm like Ralphie waiting for his Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. And yes, I am dressed like a deranged Easter bunny.
THURS: Christmas Day. I am surprised Tom Keller said Drew Neitzel "is a less effective (but still surprisingly dangerous) scorer off the dribble." Every time I see Neitzel, it seems like he is unstoppable if he gets a step. That being said, I think DJ and the David "Venezuelan Villain" Cubillan can handle Neitzel. Per usual, I am much more concerned with our interior D, but I will take our chances with a guard-heavy team every time.
Of equal importance, my brother Dan is coming to NYC for the Pogues concert tonight. Show time is 9:30 ( I may be late), but as long as McNeal and Shane MacGowan are upright, we will be all right in the Dirty Old Town of Winston-Salem.
FRI: Remains to be seen...win or lose, chances are, I won't be up before noon.
Enjoy Spring Break 2007.
Did I mention I'm 35?
Go Marquette.
p.s. Did anyone notice that the MU representative on the "find your team" cover of SI is our deplorable "golden" Eagle/bird that needs a taste of buckshot...no way that qualifies as the SI jinx.
p.s.s. Let's just officially draft Freeway as our mascot.
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
