The daily lives of a man and his dog trying to get through each day with as much humor as possible and using each other as a crutch every step of the way

there was an article in the charlotte observer today about greatest sports stories and that got me to thinking about my own great sports stories. i wasn't much of an athlete with the exception of baseball where i was a slightly above average player and i sat at the far end of the bench on the freshman basketball team but that was about it. my great sport story involves me watching the UNC-Oklahoma basketball game around 1988 with my father. oklahoma led by billy tubbs (i really couldn't stand him as a coach) was the overall number one seed that year and the 'heels were like a number 8 seed but me and pops watched the game with great anticipation. somehow pops knew they were going to to win the game and even as rick fox hit that bank shot to seal the deal, pops let out that laugh that signified total joy in an "i told you so" kind of way. i even looked it up on youtube (i love youtube)and seeing it again brought so many memories of watching carolina basketball with my dad. we didn't agree on much but that is one passion that we shared and i know when i am watching a game he is watching it with me....
