WVU v. Dayton

by 5th Year Senior on Mar 16, 2009 9:47 AM EDT in Mountaineer Basketball

The tip of our game against Dayton is set for 3:00 p.m. on Friday. I do not know about the rest of you but a 3 p.m. tip-off makes me want to beat my head against the wall.

It is too late in the afternoon to take a late lunch and then pretend like you lost track of time. Also, it is too early to skip out of work early and hope nobody notices. What is a working man to do? You got it, fake a cold.

I am going to make sure to mention to everyone in my office how I feel a tickle in the back of my throat today. As the week progresses, I will randomly bring in herbal tees and leave Kleenex's around my desk. By the time Friday afternoon rolls around it will be too much to handle and an afternoon of "bed rest" will be just what the doctor ordered.

I am a smart man.

Just to be on the safe side, you should see your doctor (who will tell you that you just need rest and write a “get out of jail free” card for you. Go early, especially if you go to a Doc-in-a-Box (urgent care places). I think there’s gonna be a mean breakout of the flu on Friday.

New site rocks, BTW. Well done.

You know what sucks

Pitt plays at 2:50 on Friday. For some of us in the Pittsburgh area, we can’t fake a cold and stay at home to watch the game. We’ll get the Pitt game.
I’ll have to go down to Wheeling to watch it, or watch it online.

Either way, Dayton you’re going down!
