Yes everyone, I am finally happy. Why am I happy people? It is because I went to the Hoya's first game against Temple. I sat in the student section because my ID is still good until the year 2305 and drank my beer with a straw. In front of me a young lad sat with his new t-shirt, talking on his cell phone, but in his other non-cellular hand was a small square white towel. Yes the towels have finally returned. In fact, it wasn't just this one pioneer of school spirit but many students had borrowed towels to wave for their Hoyas. Yes we still lost and lost badly, but being a Hoya fan doesn't mean you get to win a lot. It's all about the moral victories. Remember always brings those towels and wave them high for all to see.
Now I did not see any towels at the Citadel game. I also wasn't looking. You see instead of my normal seat I had received 50 free tickets from a relative on Thanksgiving. There were in a pretty good section. I think it was 108. It's a sad fact but I couldn't give them away. I gave 6 to my brother, but I guess he was busy starting fires at the University of Maryland, and 6 to a Cousin. My cousin came and brought with him some the MCC (or MK if you grew up in Montgomery County) basketball team, but left since he was not entertained from lack of towels. Now most of you are wondering what the point of this story is going to be. Well I'm not sure. Oh yes I remember now. So I have about 40 free tickets to the game. I had convinced my lovely girlfriend to come with me, ( She is also a UMD person) under the conditions we get Chipotle and see a movie (What a great girl). So I save 3 tickets. No we aren't fat, one seat was for our coats. Upon further inspection of the tickets, I noticed that the price of $22.50 was written on each one. That seems a pretty high price to me. In fact it seemed a very high price to the people I was trying to sell the tickets to on the street. While I don't know much about the scalping laws in DC, the two police officers didn't seem to care. Maybe when it comes to Redskins tickets but not for the Hoyas. So I offer my goods to these fine men at a price of 5 per ticket. No, for a ticket worth $22.50 this is much to much. I am offered $20 for the whole bunch. Yes using simple math that means 50cents a ticket. Wow, when I was at grad school people would camp out for basketball tickets and pay in actual bills not change. I was finally able to get a price of $1 per ticket. Which paid for two burritos, two drinks, two tickets to see Finding Neverland at the AMC (Student Discount - Thanks Georgetown) and some candy. My point is that there were no towels. Don't you see people. I wrote this whole thing because I had a point. And the point was no TOWELS. Maybe I had a different point, but I'm tired now.
