I'm not going to be working every vball game because I'm also going to be running the scoreboard for men's and women's soccer and field hockey, but I think I'm doing about 7 games. <BR/><BR/>Mark seems like a really good guy. I've liked working with him. <BR/><BR/>I really wish I would've thought of the dry erase board sooner. I had glass seats for 3 years and I didn't bust it out until the last year. Gajic would always crack up when he saw some of the things we'd write. Hensick just always looked confused. <BR/><BR/>One of my friends knows Chris Trick from Notre Dame, and she told me that after the game he was like "This kid had a sign up that was like Michigan 39, Notre Dame 7. That's just embarassing!"<BR/><BR/>Good times...can't wait for hockey!Packer487https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807642066292189138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1153600414795527292006-07-22T15:33:00.000-05:002006-07-22T15:33:00.000-05:00Haha, I see you're also the guy with the dry erase...Haha, I see you're also the guy with the dry erase board at the hockey games!

We try to keep it classy and funny but still get in the girls' heads as much as possible.<BR/><BR/>After our first game, Mark came over to us and gave us this legendary quote:<BR/>"You guys are assholes-- but you're OUR assholes!"<BR/><BR/>I'll mention something when I see you this fall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1153580709804310482006-07-22T10:05:00.000-05:002006-07-22T10:05:00.000-05:00Jeremy, you guys are absolutely AWESOME.

He loves you guys.<BR/><BR/>Not gonna lie, I lose it every time you get the "Slow and awkward" chant going. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you've seen me. A lot of the times, I'm the one that runs the stats from the scorer's table up to the radio booth. Your section likes to yell things at me when I run by :-)<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work. I love going to games there.

I remember sitting down on my bleacher, head in hands, wondering how my senior year had come to this after one of those diarrhea-fast MSU RBs had scored on a long counter-draw to put State up 17.<BR/><BR/>That game was rediculously long, something like 4.5 or 5 hours. I wore shorts and a T-shirt and remember being cold after the game but not caring a bit. I don't know that I've ever been so wrung out in such a short time before or since. Going from arrogant expectation, to here-we-go-again-nervousness, to hope to utter despair, to here-comes-another-Michigan-comeback-that-will-fall-just-short, to we're going to overtime! to exhilaration tempered with relief.<BR/><BR/>What a game...thanks for stirring some memories!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136299048543524694noreply@blogger.com
