Happy Poop Day!

Eight years ago I launched this blog on November 3rd and I have kept it going for all these years and exactly 6400 posts (including this one).
At times it's been a chore but I've always had fun doing it and I appreciate all of you who have read and commented (especially commented) during those years.
And I plan to keep it going for 8 or 18 or 80 more.

Send it in Jerome

Today was the 25th anniversary of one of my favorite plays ever, and favorite calls. Jerome Lane of Pittsburgh breaks the backboard with a dunk and Bill Raftery exclaims "Send it in Jerome!"
I was sure I had written previously about this play, but it was kind of buried in an NCAA Tournament thoughts, a couple months after the 23rd anniversary.



This play is so special to me that I wanted to name the child now known as Julian, Jerome. I don't even think I told Mrs. Poop why at first, but once she completely shut me down I think I showed her the clip. Didn't change her mind though.

But I don't think she knows I slipped this past her.

Thanks to JLeary for inspiring me to go back and check exactly what I had previously written about this blessed event.
