Furman to the round of sixteen

   Friends here is rough edit on a dictated blog. It is not an effort for Crabtree's Shakespeare class so go for the substance

    I just gotten all obsessed with Furman‘s possibilities in March madness playing the Danny Hurley in UConn  Friday night. I was At Furman, a mascot on a couple occasions, in the 70s in the glory days. I would Clyde mMayes was on my hall freshman year, and I got to know Bruce Grimm  and fester Leonard who was selling something Gary Clark who ended up being the pretty good student the headmaster Spartanburg Day school two years ahead of me was a Russ Hunt who made the Furman Hall of Fame. He was  6' 8 white boy from Connecticut found his way from Furman And some black guy, Michael Hall, who was on the same team with Barron Hill, who became a congressman from Indiana until Hillary Clinton put thumbs down on him when he ran for Senate so it’s a tough world out there, but but

    I think Furman could pull off a miracle. I mean you’re one of the top six tallest teams I looked at the roster For Yukon they’re they’re thick. I mean they’re they’re tall and thick and of course they won the national championship to the last three years they got an international white kid seven footer but yeah Furman it just goes out with confidence kind of confidence. I had one spring day no maybe I think it was in August of 1976 I looked across Highway 68 in Gaffney SC  the Wilkinsville Highway and saw my black friends in a pick up game,. As it turned out  it turned out where the uncles of the they became the Uncles o Socon  player of the year 2010 2011 Donald Sims and so I said I think I’ll go get that game. I mean the dust was flying and there’s a lot of pushing and shoving, but I was hanging so that’s the best game then I got a pick up game with not LJP Peake who just missed the Celtics by three players but Kevin Garnett KG himself in Malden on Saturday morning that was before he became KG. He was just in the ninth grade I said just kidding me you’ll take on the whole neighborhood. I just threw the ball in around my mouth so if Furman goes into this game with this kind of attitude that kind of attitude and I think they are, I’ll bring in if not from the get-go and the kid from WRENABIDIJAH Franklin bring him in with Alex Wilkins and just get to get the Yankees whether or not Yankees are from all over get them off the floor and get them in you know jump into them get them in foul trouble and see if you can’t get Danny Hurley unraveled in the first round that’ll be some spectacular so that’s my unsolicited advice. I’m gonna post this at a Facebook page of a friend who network to all these guys that want a lot of guys in the 70s see if they have some unsolicited advice so yeah and

    I was also thinking what kind of peptalk they need for they go out there of course Billy Bob Thornton in the movie version of Saturday night lights can you be perfect and a little something from Hoosier and get just all fired up and see what happens Cause it can be done and then the next game if you win that opener, then you should be in the Suite 16 I’ll be some Furman in the Sweet 16. I’d almost forgive the criminal trespass policy for that but that’s for another day so go mighty demons not demons but DINS the paladins

   In my official bracket collaborating with a Girl Scout executive I have Duke beating Furman next weekend aubt have a radical final four with Gonzaga and Virginia Vanderbilt and Duke with Vandy beating Virginia for the championship. Also have High point and Troy advancing in first round
