Seating at the EBC Bar was limited – thanks to the older people at the bar who clearly didn’t realize (or care) that on Wednesday nights we run the bar! Anyway the hot topic of the night was Jon Witt vs Wayne “Freight-Train” Haynes and who was right or wrong. “Some” say Witt is a flopper and others say Wayne is a big bully and was too aggressive on offense. Either way, Captain Cole pulled Witt from guarding Wayne because he doesn’t believe in his guys. Cole said “Wayne didn’t try and pull that on me”…

… and that’s because Christopher J Cole was not very good. He deservedly took a pounding from fellow Grinders, and some of the older EBC bar patrons, for going 1 of 13 on the night. Mike “Check me out I am at blah blah blah for work” Ford tallied up Cole’s stats to figure out Cole had a -1 GAPE, MINUS 1!!! Of course, Cole pulled a Ford and Tommy – blaming the stat keeper for missing “a lot” of his assists, instead of owning his own pusillanimous performance. Chuck chimed in saying Team Cole is “the most unwatchable offense he’s ever seen” setting off the whole bar in laughter.

AD Curt “don’t take betting advice from me” Masich talked some fellow degenerates at the bar into betting on Seton Hall for the 1st half… and it of course turned out to be a loss for all parties! Weirdly, Worm was very happy about that for some reason…

Talk of former Grinders legend James “Elbow to the throat” Hearn came up. Cole recalled counting to a full 30 seconds while Hearn stood in the paint without moving. Also everyone is thinking of doing a Tuesday Softball league that will be sponsored by Eldrege Club this spring. Cole probably won’t pitch to Richie in practice either…

See you next week for Playoff bar talk!
