The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Off to the Oliver Luck “Welcome Home Celebration” here shortly. I’ll post the link that’ll allow you to follow live beginning at 1 p.m., if you’re interested in such things.

If not, or if you can’t stream video where you are, then here’s a  heck of a time filler.

Surely you’ve been somewhere and had to ask “Hey, what number did So-and-So wear?” Then comes the reply and then you remember that Another-So-and-So also wore that number. The talk then usually goes into which So-and-So was better … and you wonder if you’re omitting a Superior-So-and-So.

Just the other day I was in a conversation that included the evolution of the WVU men’s basketball No. 3: Jon Hargett, Pat Beilein, Joe Mazzulla, Devin Ebanks. That’s pretty good growth.

Well, prepare yourself for the next round of similar discourse … and maybe prepare your kid to wear No. 80 so that he may be included.
