10 stripes

I decided to go with my fam yesterday to Dayton to watch the Temple vs. Dayton Basketball game. My cousin, Fran, coaches Temple and got all 8 of us tickets. Our seats were right behind the bench. Litterally they weren't even in the stands they were on the floor behind the bench. We had to try to look through tall ass basketball players to see what was going on. My grandma couldn't see anything and wanted to move up into the first row of seats. No one was sitting there with 10 minutes left in the first half so I moved with her to the first row. A couple of minutes later 3 guys came and we had to move down a couple of seats. When there was only 2 minutes left in the half 5 or 6 more guys showed up so we had to move back down to court level. At halftime someone else in the section over in the first row told us we could sit next to her. She was also a friend of Fran's; her dad went to college with Fran. Luckily we didn't have to move this time and got to watch the rest of the game, actually watch it.

After the game, which Temple lost :(, we waited around to see Fran. It was nice catching up with him since we haven't seen him in about a year. None of the relatives from Philly were able to make it in unfourtunatley. We left the arena and had dinner at the restaurant inside the Mariott Hotel. There's nothing qute like a hotel retaurante. Especially when all they really have is pasta and I am not a big fan of pasta. Dinner took longer than I expected, even though I should have known better.

When I got back to the 'Nati I headed to Teed and Mo's to hang out. Teed, Mo, Jenster and Ando had eaten yet so I got to watch them eat dinner, fun, fun! There were many one liners being thrown out; I wish I would have written them all down. Teed had most of them: "You can add water to anything", "Every little girl loves Unicorn's", and many many more that I am sure you had to be there to get. We also played Cranium Pop 5 and Ando and I were on the same team. Needless to say we lost, but tried to make a late comeback.

My 10 shirt is the essence of Shando. It is striped, 3/4 in. sleeve and has a collar. I got this shirt at Target, It is the first one too Mo, on the sale rack. Ando calls it my Xavier band shirt because the Xavier Pep Band wear similar shirts, but of course they are more blue; mine is more green.

Ando and I fought while on the same team, there wasn't a make up session involving a ring.
