Fire Billy? Nahhh
If Matt says it so, then it is so. DeAndre is from the Windy City, and is part of the class of 2008. A Sea of Blue already drooled over DeAndre earlier.
DeAndre was at the Father-Son Basketball Camp this past weekend, which probably helped seal the deal. You can see some pics and some pickup game videos on this guy’s site. (Thanks to KSR for the link.)
As a matter of fact, they’ve got A Chubby 4 Tubby.
And you thought that UK fans were excited about Billy Clyde.
Must. Resist. T-Shirt. Purchase.
Today I happened to drive by Wildcat Lodge on my way back to the office. I always enjoy seeing the players out and about, so I make it a point to swing by if I happen to be in the campus area. I have a few funny “just happen to be passing by Wildcat Lodge” stories that one day I’ll document here. But we’ll start first with today’s incident.
As I was getting closer to the Lodge, Jared Carter started crossing the street from Memorial Coliseum side. He was speaking at another player who was still on the Coliseum side; they both appeared to have just finished working out.
Then he entered a mid-1990s-ish White Ford Bronco. Wait, a White Ford Bronco?
As soon as the connection is made, I shriek, “This is J. C.! You know who this is, dammit!“
And that’s all it took, really. From now on, my brain synopsises are hard-wired to equate big Jared Carter with the Al “A. C.” Cowlings’ crazy testimony from the SNL skit. To be honest, Jared’s Bronco wasn’t even the same year as A. C.’s, but what else does folks do when they see a White Ford Bronco? When Misssta Cartah has his first block of the 2007-08 season, I think you’ll know what I’ll be screaming.
And yes, I’m a sad man. I realize this. Just laugh at me and have a good weekend.
