Okay you guys, I have never been one to toot my own horn. In fact, I have no idea where my horn is because I toot it so infrequently. But, as all guys know, whenever we have a brush with celebrity, we need to milk it for all its worth. Especially when you are on ESPN NEWS! This past weekend, I visited longtime friend and notable alumni of Cherry Creek High School Luke Schafer at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Now I know probably what some of you are thinking:
1.) Why would you go to Des Moines?
2.) Is Luke really a notable alumni?
3.) Did you sit next to any Amish people or skinheads on your journey?
The awnser to all of these questions are:
1.) For the view,
2.) Not really,
3.) Yes to both. The Amish guy’s name was Neal, smelled like a form of BO I never knew existed (because the Amish don’t have access to deodorant or workable noses) and we talked about how he hides a radio under his bed and listens to George Strait at night. He also likes to drink Jack Daniel’s and, I quote, “Get fucked up and lay in the grass and watch the stars.” TRUE STORY! On the other hand, me and the skinhead didn’t talk…but he looked like a LeRoy from my observations. I mean, what was I supposed to say, “So…you’re a Hitler fan huh? How’s that going? Want some Chex Mix I bought from the vending machine?”
But anyway, back to not tooting my own horn. Well, on my visit to Drake I saw the No. 20 Drake Bulldogs take on the Shockers from Wichita State. Yes, you heard me right. Drake is 20th!!! (Oh, and the mascot for Wichita gives me a nice belly-laugh as well. HA! Shockers! Too good, too good.) Well, while there are many things I could address, like Drake being the best story in college basketball with being picked to be 9th in the Missouri Valley Conference to winning it, I am instead going to talk about my ONE SECOND OF FAME!!!
Yes, you heard me right. If you go to this link, you will see me on the right and Luke on the left three rows up behind the fat girls wearing blue crowns while Adam Emmenecker goes into the crowd. We aren’t sure what we were yelling or pointing about, but we look pissed. But before you go to the site here are some instructions so you don’t miss this great moment:
1.)GO TO THE LINK
http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3272483&categoryId=2459792
2.) LOOK AT THE TIME ON THE VIDEO TO THE LEFT OF THE VOLUME THINGEE
3.) WAIT UNTIL THE FOURTH CLIP WHEN EMMENECKER GOES INTO THE CROWD
4.) STOP THE VIDEO WHEN THE CLOCK READS 1:34. (not 1:33 or 1:35, you will miss it.)
You will see two guys on the right three rows up looking insanely awesome. I couldn’t put the video online because ESPN doesn’t let you download the videos like YoutTube. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but you should just focus on not letting this new found fame get to my head. I’m thinking long-term on this whole “fan in the stands” movement I got going on for me.
