    Easy enough to tell here.

    Friday night game against Mankato last season, Tech was in the middle of its crazy losing streak. I'm literally 2 weeks away from graduation and under unimaginable amounts of stress between job hunting in this crap job market, Senior Design, and all the other graduation crap. I am literally living in a motel room that has been converted into an apartment by a local real estate mogul, and I have about $500 to my name. I'm just a LITTLE bit on edge.

    Down 2-1, Tech pulls Nolan and ties it 2-2 with 45 seconds left in the 3rd. Game goes to OT. 3 minutes into OT, Mike Van Wagner(?) coughs up a laughably awful turnover at his own blue line, which leaves Jason Wiley able to walk in by his lonesome and win the game. On the way home, I then slide down an icy hill and smash into a light pole, doing an estimated $4K of damage to my car.

    I was NOT a happy camper. Carpet F-bombing continued until I made it back to my apartment. I left a venom-filled away message on AIM that had my parents ready to call my pastor. There were other board members IMing me to check and make sure I hadn't jumped.

    I'm still paying off the debt from the insurance deductible to my parents. That game cost me $500.

      Yes but did you have fun?
      I assume the hot dog costume is part of the pay-back deal.

          He wears the hot dog hat because he's Twitch. No other reason.
          Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

            We can only hope that he is. I remember a certain tournament in Detroit a couple years ago where we won the first night and then lost when Twitch showed up.

              I was the good luck that first night against MSU, because it was my 21st birthday.

                I'd rather have Twitch be our bad luck charm. At least we can forcibly keep him away from the arena. You turning 21 was a once in a lifetime thing.

                  Exactly - I was just sayin'.

                  Though it should be known that I am also capable of triggering the Concession Stand Curseâ„¢, if need be. I'm 3-for-3 in the past three seasons.

                    Saying what? That Tech getting to the GLI final was a once in a lifetime occurrence?

                      No, just pointing out a coincidence. Although your statement may seem true more often than not. :-/

                        I know, but sadly it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw your post.

                          Besides, that's not true anyway!
