NCAA is big business in the states...it's all about the college bball and what school you went to and everyone seems to know someone who knows someone who was in class with the dude playing. From watching a bit the other week with some of my new US chums I opted to follow the Ohio Buckeyees; sounded like a fun team, quite liked their team colours (red and white army) and the main player is aces - I thought they were front runners, so going for glory I borrowed a t-shirt, hoody and even a pin (which is a badge) and rocked up to the pub. Needless to say the Ohio kids were nearly as bad a Swindon Town and lost in the last minute. But I did learn a new dance and how to respond when people yelled OH at you (although the first time I failed to respond correctly to 'OH' I did get called a halfy by some steaming fella). OH - IO. Lesson learnt.
On the way home we stopped off at Ian's (which I think might be the Grecian on the Gloc Road) and we had some serious pizza....highlights...Mac & Cheese Pizza and mash potato pizza...sounds wrong and is so wrong it's right!
I think we need to go to Piece for pizza. I hear they have a mashed potato pizza and I think you and I need to try it. Love the blog!
