This blog is the second generation of a venture started by XL, Inky and over a decade ago. Back then it was "Out of Bounds" (or various other titles like Greazy Tony's Bar and Grill) and it aired to an audience of about 11 on the campus radio station. This is where we first started using the "stiff of the week" which was passed down to us by the show's previous host. I liked to keep things pretty lite, but from time to time we would have some pretty heated debates.
One such time was during the World Series when we got into the age old sports disussion about players going to games when otherwise unmissable life moments are occurring. Like, for instance, the birth of their child. We considered the fact that the player has a responsibility to their team, but moreover that they need to be there for the birth of their child. The NBA gets a pass, because you can't be missing 8 and 9 games a year, but we came to the conclusion that all other sports demanded that you miss a game for your new arrival. Cal Ripken lucked out by seeing both of his kids born on off days.
Brenda Frese is in a whole different boat when it comes to this issue, and she's been missing road games for weeks now, but it will be a while before she's on the sidelines at College Park now too. She had twin boys yesterday, who Gary Williams may or may not have begun scouting already. Congratulations to the Frese-Thomas clan, which is now doubled in size. Oh yeah, and congrats to the Lady Terps who made it an all around bad day in Durham as they toppled Duke to follow up on The Men's second loss of the year.
