Faiefield -3 -110 the greek
Off the wall strategy today! Iona has small budget, probably took bus ride from New Rochelle, NY to Fairfield, CT? (34 miles) Might even be driving up as I type? Thursday would have meant hoteling the team? Big problem is lots of bad weather and snowing in that whole area as we speak and Thursday! If no snow then a high school bus ride today most likely.
Thinking though they might have had a 30 minute ride turned longer yesterday? Possibly less prep time for Iona? Either way, I like this one without the weather also going with the home team. Going the square way with away teams has hurt me this year! Like I said, really reaching today?
Reminds me of a line from a Mott the Hoople song, "too many questions, no replies now" It's a song of faith for those who aren't believers?
Dr. Buzzy's spirit has just spoken to me with an some handy how to situations!
As we know most people can't stand when people coming knocking at your door wanting to preach faith to you? Jehovah Witnesses etc......... We can't seem to get them to go away and it usually ends in us slamming the door in their faces and then we feel bad minutes later if we have any heart at all?
Solution! Invite them in and have a sitdown at the kitchen table. As they begin speaking, go to the cabinet and pull out a bottle and kindly offer them a shot! Will say no of course. After a moment or so, tell them we always chase it down with a beer and offer them one. Will again say no. (make sure as your guzzling the beer down, you let some drip on your chin and wipe off with your shirt sleeve)
As they begin to start again, tell them, "wait a minute, I need a smoke". Go into the bedroom and come out with your bag of weed (no weed, no problem, put anything in it, oregano, they don't have a clue) As your rolling the jay and they believe your not paying attention, tell them, "no, keep going, I'm listening" Just when you are ready to lit it, BINGO! They will get up and kindly excuse themselves. Tell them, "no, please don't go" As they are leaving your property and hurrying their walking stride, yell out, "where the fuk you going, I haven't even brought out the good shit yet"
Conclusion
1.) you did 2 out of 3 things that you would have done anyway. (you don't drink, your on their team, plain and simple)
2.) you feel good about yourself inside not throwing them out.
3.) and you didn't waste anything on them.
*Very Important*
Never let them finish the statement they are trying to make! This way you are always in control!
Once again! Fairfield -3
