Today is OU day at the Jake BA the Yankees. In the third inning, they interviews Boals and spoke very positively about OU hoops throughout the rest of the inning - even had a couple digs at BG and Fiami, asking if they were both even in the MAC anymore.
I bet Progressive Insurance loves that guys like YOU and guys like ME still call it "the JAKE" at the corner of Ontario and Carnegie .
It was a sell out for the Bobcats--I believe 750, each getting a hat. Boles was standing tall and greeting us all as we entered. Got a chance to chat before others wanted to do the same. SMO past and present serenaded us before taking the field.
Funny that the camera man zeroed in on a SMO member singing the National Anthem pre-game. He had a distinct beard and wore some camo. Later, during the game, the camera spotted him again, then jumped away, came back to him, jumped away and came back to him a third time to the delight of the crowd!
The seats were in the bright sun and the Bobcats with children were forced to find relief elsewhere. My party was fortunate that one works for a company that has a loge and had several no-shows. After about the 4th inning, knowing the others wouldn't show, the four of us were invited into the loge. Did I say it was in the shade, with TV replay, and cold brew?
So nice to see all the Bobcats and later the sad sad sad sacks wearing the pinstripes. They were loud early and then were shut up as they got some bronx bombing coming from the Tribe.
