Gavin Grant ready to do it again . . . we just have to wait

Gavin Grant was on 850theBuzz this morning backing up his smack talk about the upcoming Wolfpack basketball season with . . . more smacktalk. Go Gavin!

To wit, the smack in question was a statement Gavin made a short while ago claiming that the Pack would only tuck away four losses this season. 1. 2. 3. 4. When asked about it today, he said, why, Yes, that’s what I said. Apparently Chris and Joe asked Grant if he meant four losses this year, giving him one more chance to back away from it, but Gavin stayed firm. 1.  2.  3.  4. For the season. I can hear the Wolfpack Nation diving for their holy water and pulling out their evil eye charms right now.

The Lord loves fools, small children, and dreamers. Remember that in March.

For now, we’re undefeated and it’s almost daylight savings time. I can smell the hardwood cooking from here. Or maybe that’s just my heat-addled brain from last week’s football game. We left early so I wouldn’t get heat stroke, or else I would have made the total Wolfpackers treated for dehydration count one hundred and one. However, when we are getting bitch-slapped on our own field and I’m burning alive, I figure, why stick around and watch the slow death when I could do it at home with an ice pack and some aloe vera? So I did. The ice pack was for my head. Ouch. The only thing that made me happy during the entire football game was almost running into Ben McCauley, who resembles an oak up close. From what I can tell, one of his arms is about as big around as my head. Which, well, comforts me in a strange way. After seeing Ben looking all . . . large, and suffering through that football game, I realized I am completely ready for basketball season to start. Like, now.

Go Pack!
