Honestly, I love games like this. I throw a party every year that we call "The Toilet Bowl." It has no set date, just when two of the worst teams in the league meet, we have too much to drink and have a laugh.
You know, now that you mention it, the party does seems to land on a Thursday every year.
I have kinda been expecting he goes and coaches lacrosse somewhere as a retirement gig, dude loves that game too.
