This story surprisingly didn’t get much play in the big blue media, but that is exactly why FireBilly.com should be one of you daily visits.
Coach Gillispie is not only hot on the trail of every unsigned blue chip recruit in the country, but he also took a little personal time this past weekend to participate in the LG National Texting Championships. Unfortunately coach Gillispie couldn’t quite bring home the gold.
The Sioux City Journal has the story.
Thirteen-year-old Morgan Pozgar, of Claysburg, Pa., was crowned LG National Texting champion on Saturday after she typed “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from “Mary Poppins” in 15 seconds.
Gillispie doesn’t get mentioned in the article since he ultimately finished out of the money in fourth place in the competition. In a surprising twist he got tangled up and was eliminated when recruit Steve Tchiengang’s name appeared as his word to text in the semi-final round. Although disappointed, coach Gillispie was rumored to be considering adding Morgan to his staff as a recruiter once he heard this quote:
She estimated that she sends more than 8,000 text messages a month to her friends and family.
Maybe we should change it to “BCG doesn’t sleep, he texts”.
Agreed. Damn those kids and their newfangled “texting”.
Hey, can you send me the link to the news item where you found this story at? The link in the post doesn’t work, and I went to the website but I couldn’t find it.
This is why i love you guys, the wacky stories man. So freakin odd that Gillispie would play in a text messaging contest against pre-teens … LoL. You guys rock man!
That or the jokes on me!
