Wow, I don't know where to start. In the words of Jim Rome, it was simply "epic." I'm very sad that I have to wait another year to attend the bash again. I met so many great people that it's a lock that I'll forget about one or two. But I had to follow suit and start a thread. I had too good of a time not to.
All Star Team
Coach LT- coolest MFer I've met in a long time. My idol. The guy is 60, but looks like he's pushing 47. Claims he used to be a sex machine, but I think we all know better than to think he's not in his prime now. Hilarious cat. Thanks for Zook, brother.
Tatehill- Dude is a hairdresser. I asked him if everybody thinks he's gay when he tells them what he does for a living. "They think that until I stick my _____ in their girlfriend's _____." One of the nicest and funniest guys I know.
Fishhead- I've known Fish since way back at the Capital One Bowl Bash in Florida. But Stacey.....I had no idea that he could pull off. This girl is just one beautiful Southern Belle. She even told me the story of how he got her. I haven't seen execution like that since Ocean's Eleven. Stud. And a nice guy, too.
My Football Game- I told him he shouldn't bet against Clement, and he's like "I only have a dime on it. No big deal." But he's not arrogant at all, just one of the guys. I'm looking forward to you and Shack coming up and betting 50 grand on Bradley or IL State. We'll sit courtside and party it up after we cash.
Panther- definitely the most misunderstood poster on here. Super nice guy, with a southern accent. He even offered to let me use his beach house for free if I ever want to go to NC. Wealthy, sharp, and has game with the ladies. I'll be watching for your 5 star NFL picks.
Only have room for 5 on an all-star team. Trust me, the rest of you guys just missed.
Shack- "I play craps with discipline, Illini. Dealer, give me 500 on don't come." You're a cool guy. See you guys in Peoria this winter.
Maverick- I hope you cleaned that craps table out like I did. Too bad you left before you came back. One of the best hours I've seen at a table.
Dante- nicest guy ever. For sure.
Skinsraj, Dsethi, and Juice- the three brothers from DC. What a great time it was hanging out with you guys after the dinner. We'll be swapping picks this year, but you will all have to refresh my memory of who has what specialty. The scotch on the rocks kind of fog my memory, but I'm pretty sure we were going to start a partnership or something. All 3 guys cool as hell and funny, too.
Robfunk- proud to call you my friend, brother. Those drinks must have tasted good.
Cedarcreeker- according to Coach LT, near 60 years old. Acts like he's 20 something, and would definitely hang out with him if we lived in the same town.
Kermit- ditto. Would love to hang out with you next time I come to Vegas.
Sure Guy- sharp, but down to earth. Beautiful girlfriend. Not a bad combo to have in life.
Rich Dude- you made me lmao talking about all your trips to the hospital. Your Yankees took my money that day. Congrats, I knew one of us would cash.
Wilheim- nice to meet you. Seemed like you were always busy, so maybe we can share a beer next year.
GI Joe- what can I say? We all got almost as much fun watching you win as you got out of it. You make me a believer out of karma. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Sportssavant and Clubman Coop- You Canadiens sure know how to do women up there. Lucky guys. Thanks for bringing them near us this weekend. Thumper Dragon- Club's girl, had a great time playing blackjack with you.
Kojak- go Cardinals, brother. See you around here soon.
TTinCO- "Illini, who is Gavin Maloof? I don't know that guy." This was said, after about tripping over Gavin's girl and hitting her with his $300 bottle of champagne.
Red Eye- I'm playing your 15 year old kid's NFL picks this year. Keem 'em coming.
Al Swearingen- had some good times and stories with you on Sunday. See you next year.
Spreadbeater- I didn't get a chance to talk with you about handicapping. But you can pound booze and pick up any chick you want. A Coach LT in the making.
Again, sorry if I left anybody off. I had a great time. One recommendation I would have is that we all get there on Thursday morning next year and have one more full day of drinking and chatting in the sportsbook. So many good stories were told in that room. Thanks to Marty and the Golden Nugget. Keep in touch, all. We really have a great group.
