JJ, here.
RW and I were at the game today. Even though both of us were sitting in different sections (not Press Row, since neither one of us are journalists), both of us observed the same behavior from fans around us.
You remember that time when you didn’t have a ticket to the game, but your friend did. So, you were watching the game at home and you saw your friend on TV. Thinking it might be kind of cool, you decided to call your friend’s cell phone. While on camera, you told your friend to do something stupid as a sign to you.
That was so like…yesterday.
Now, everyone is texting. And you’d think judging by the sheer number of fans texting that they all had a live blog of text messages. Or something like that.
Well, RW and I thought that might be an interesting idea. So, here’s the transcript of our version of a live game blog:
[Editor's note: Yes, we noted the blowup toy that was making it's way around the student section at the beginning of the game. But we're family-oriented here. So, all I'll say is that if I was security, there is no way you could have got me to remove that thing.]
JJ: “Wonder Twin powers activate!”
RW: “Porter’s back”
JJ: “No Doublemint”
RW: “Stanford is average without the twins”
JJ: “So is Nelson”
RW: “True. Did you see the recruits over in section 14 right under CBS”
JJ: “Met our unicycle quota for year?”
RW: “Fo sho”
JJ: “Makeup”
RW: “Refs are bad”
JJ: “But handicapped?”
RW: “Yeah, come on. Thats going a little too far.”
RW: “Take your tights off fred”
JJ: “Nutmeg!”
What text messages did you send during the game?

One more:
“Libbey is the worst.”

First thing I say, at the beginning of every game where I see that Libbey is working the game… “Oh, great, watch for 4-5 fouls to be called, away from the action, that have nothing to do with the action”. Every time.
