The Arrogant Italian

So yesterday was the day of upsets for Conference USA.  The 2,3, and 4 seeds are out, the 6,7,8 seeds are in.  UCF fell to Southern Miss in a devastating loss due not only in part due to injuries, but also to horrendous officiating on the part of the CUSA refs.  Apparently a nudge for us is a foul, but they can rip our fucking shirts off.

Saw Larry Eustachy at “The Flying saucer afterwards. So when we saw him at the bar, we ordered a beer and told the waitress to give it to him and say “Here’s a Natty Light courtesy of the Rowdy Knights.” And he was like, that’s not even funny. I also get some shots of some RKs where he happens to be in background smoking a cigar and drinkin’ a beer. Before we left I told him that tomorrows game was “going to to be fun… for us” after tonight’s loss.  He then proceeded to tell me that he was O’Leary’s buddy, and that I should say hello for him.  Uhhh.. bull shit?

The Memphis game was before ours, as normal they put up an outstanding performance.  And as long as they beat USM into the ground tomorrow I will be happy.

  Went to Graceland today as well.  What a tourist trap that was.  I think thats all I can say, a tacky tourist trap for a dead guy.  Maybe its cause I wasn’t alive while Elvis was but people were like making a huge deal out if it.  An old rocker who lived over-extravagantly and died while taking a shit because of using too many drugs. 

No plans tomorrow except to get some food and watch USM get their asses kicked.

 

So on the trip up at about 12 am EST someone lit up a joint in the bus…. like no one would smell it. Right need less to say the bus driver was not happy.  About an hour later  we stopped in Tallahassee to switch drivers and someone stole a pillow from a hotel….  once we git out of florida everything was cool.

The hotel is on Main St along the Mississippi river.  Also right along the trolly tracks.  Went down to Beale St. then went and watched the Rice USM game.  Such a boring game. But we went to Rondevouz, so much better than Corky’s.

 Tomorrow is Graceland.
