Remember when Dick Allen missed the opener of a Phillies' double header? His excuse was he didn't realize they were playing two that day!

Yep, I also remember Doc Gooden missing the '86 Mets' Ticket Tape Parade because he was in some drug den.

The coveted GOM status. Truth to tell, there would be some who's testify that I was a bit of a prodigy in that regard.

The relevant question here is if a bunch of doddering alums can get to the bottom of this, why can't NBC's announcers? They have production assistants you know. "Hey, kid, go get me the list with DU's pronunciations."

Once I was doing PBP for Port Arthur Jefferson yellow jackets basketball (Bum Phillips coached there). And I asked a kid for the team they were playing for a list of the numbers of his team. And that's what he brought back: a list of numbers. He handed me a piece of paper which said "1, 5, 17 etc." In a rare display of patience, I asked him if he could provide the names, too.

Port Arthur !!! That's like the anus of the planet earth.

First scrum of the game, couple of penalties, 4 on 4

Mayfield for DU, he can't do anything dumb tonight with the playoffs next weekend.

Archibald for UNO

Part of what's called the Golden Triangle: Port Arthur, Beaumont, and Vidor. I believe it's Vidor that's the state headquarters for the Klan. No black person living there until very recently. Some who moved in almost immediately moved out.

Lee going to sin bin now and it will be a 4 on 3 UNO PP for 1:28

No score in game
 
Re: Denver at UNO - Saturday 3/3/2012 Final Regular Season Game

Now Ryder to sin bin.............
 
Re: Denver at UNO - Saturday 3/3/2012 Final Regular Season Game

Does Ryder end up spending 3 min. in the box? Waiting for Lee's penalty expire:confused:

Time for Old Pio to make up the PBP.

Try this on for size:

Jay Zee scores on a wicked wrister to make it 4-0 in the first as DU sets a school record for scoring four goals in 93 seconds.

On the Zucker/Zooker issue. Clearly the NBC guys were told to call him Zooker, no harm there. Its probably what the family wants.

Gabe Gauthier changed the pronunciation of his name when we went up to Canada to play juniors and decided he liked the French pronunciation.

I suspect that Zucker will become Zookur when he plays in the NHL.
