Well done to all in this thread.
Sat behind Gary last night at the OU game. I had a rough day, was tense, a little upset because we were late arriving. But once we sat down - I was at peace (the 17 pt lead helped).
Then then the clouds moved in, and the infidels rose. The lead was suddenly cut to 4. Gary spoke - "come on, let's get a basket now". And low and behold, a basket did cometh. And Gary stood and applauded, and all was well in his kingdom.
He had this cool aura about him too.....
My wife went to the game with my father-in-law and I. He and I both went to
ISU, she went to Iowa (I know, I know. Yes, yes - but I love her all the same). We weren't sitting behind Gary at first, we were across the arena in 111. A friend of my in-laws have tickets behind the Thompson row. So before we went over, I pointed out to my wife where the friends were and then which one was Gary.
"Who is Gary Thompson?"
The looks were aghast. Even the three year old girl sitting in front of us looked back in disbelief. Oh, my poor wife. I've failed in my attempts to convert her from the evil empire. Wretched failure....
