He said simply, as he patted me on the back and headed back into the Luxury Box Concourse, "You, Mudboy, YOU!!"
PERFECT !
I did, but my Wahoos collapsed at the end, unfortunately. I've had season tickets for quite awhile and I cannot recall the fans being quite as riled up as we were for this game...although I heard it was like this when we upset Florida State in '95. Place was packed and it was special because I brought both my kids and Jake--my three-year-old--was simply enthralled with the "gazillion people"...LOL!! The Missuz was feeling a bit under the weather so my parents and I took the kids so Mommy could catch up on some rest.
Funny little story...one of my best friends from college was supposed to go but backed out at the last minute and now I know why. His father is a huge DemocRAT Donor and very much behind Mark Warner's ill-fated bid fer Governor (Earley 60%-Warner 35%...SITYS!!)...well, my buddy had told me that his dad was going to be in the Wachovia Luxury Box with Douglas Wilder (Louis--my buddy's Ol' Man--was Governor Wilder's Number One contributor when he had won that race and Mark Warner was Wilder's Campaign Manager) and, possibly, Mark Warner was gonna be there as well.
Anyway, I left my parents watching the kids for a few minutes and ventured over to try to sneak into the Wachovia box and stir up some trouble...LOL!! Security's extremely tight, so I knock on the door to the Luxury Box Concourse and give them a schpiel about my friend not being able to make it to the game but my needing to speak to Louis. Next, some DemocRAT Press Manager comes out to talk to me and I smooth-talk him into runnin' and fetchin' Louis...LOL!! Well, Louis comes out and greets me as an old friend--he's an Architect/Developer, too, and I used to work for him--and I thought I'd about had him snowed enough to let me in the Wachovia Box when I let him know of my intentions for visiting said box, "Louis, I heard y'all got a bunch of high-falootin' Lib'ral DemocRATS in there and I just wanted to razz 'em a bit!!" Louis says, "Mudboy, yer a Republican?!" I said, "Hell yeah, Ol' Man, you'll never catch me voting or contributing to the campaign of one of them there Socialist Big Guv'ment Whores!! Tell me the TRUTH, you got Doug Wilder in there, don'tcha?! Can I join the Party?!" Louis guffawed and said, "I'm not letting you in, MUD!!" to which I bellicosely replied, "What'cha SCAIRT of?!" He said simply, as he patted me on the back and headed back into the Luxury Box Concourse, "You, Mudboy, YOU!!"
I was grinnin' like a Cheshire Cat all the way back to my MUCH BETTER seats!!
=^D...MUD
