I remember way back when I inked my then unpracticed, untested signature on the dotted line, thus evaporating the very notion of being “wanted” or “pursued”. The weeks before I ended up signing with UConn were like a new relationship; Fresh, interesting and plenty of sexting (there really is nothing like new love.) My official visit was full of lobster and steak, and (if you can believe it) Head Coach Randy Edsall serving me hot butter. The day after signing, and the following 5 season were more like “the morning after”….little regret, a hot shower, and some soul searching. I enjoyed every minute at UConn, but you can bet your sweet ass I was serving my own butter once I was on campus. Delicious, delicious, self-served butter. Hmmmm. Memories.
That being said, I’m going to defer to my friends over at Every Day Should Be Saturday, who came in with this quote:
Honda, purchased: Just a reminder: when this is all over, the same coaches buttering recruits up will be the ones running them until they vomit, screaming at them in the weight room, and later possibly making taunts involving their dead or incarcerated relatives. To be fair, though, the “sold a Rolls Royce and given a Honda” metaphor mentioned here in the Post is a bit inaccurate since Maryland isn’t even a Honda. Hondas, unlike Maryland football, are reliable and steady, whereas the Terrapins under Friedgen have been Chryslers at best.
Or, maybe even gas-pedal-malfunctioning Toyotas. How topical of me.
That’s great blogging right there…but why do we got bring the Terps into it? ha
