Habel, my new friend


This is straight from my journal about my good time on Saturday at the BYU basketball game against SDSU. BYU won 80-58. It was grand. Enjoy:

Russell and I went to the BYU b-ball game... we didn't sit in the student section but instead behind one of the hoops with all the old people. I had another epic BYU athletics event moment. NO ESPN or anything, but I had the whole student section and most of the Marriott Center looking at me at one point. Let me explain. Habel(pictured to the left), #4 for SDSU, had gone up for a dunk and got fouled. BYU's Plaisted, at the other end, had just dunked it with authority the previous possession. SO, Habel was at the line and I yelled from the my sixth row seat, "Hey #4, that was weak sauce!" Right then, he looked at me, chuckled, and shook his head. I think he made the first free throw as I was waving my arms in attempt to distract him shooting. Before the second free throw, he did something that reached a new high in reactions in result of my taunting the opposing team. At the free throw line, he looked at me and started waving his arms around imitating me... he looked like a goof. And that's when the whole student section got involved especially after he faced the students and made a "Come on" gesture. Habel missed the second free throw. A little later Habel's teammate went up to him to tell him to hold back. It was great, we got into Habel's head that game. I'd like to think that I had a part in the Cougar's trouncing.

I NEED video.

And, any friend of 4-Slyce is a friend of mine, so: Habel, my new friend, too.
