Billy Gillispie going to that game is like Fran going to the Bama A&M game.

Except not at all. We didn't want BCG to leave, Fran was close to getting tarred and feathered.

My prayers for your liver.

You're supposed to clap if others clap, boo if others boo and take a shot if BCG takes a shot.

Got it, thanks for the marching orders

The problem with an alcoholic is that you don't know if he could function at the same level that he did when he was here for the first time.

He wasn't an alchy when he was here??

All of the evidence leads me to believe that he was, but there are stages of alcoholism, and as you go down that path, you are less and less able to function.

My mother was an alcoholic who died from liver failure at the age of 62. When I was growing up, you would never have known that she had a drinking problem unless you had spent a Friday or Saturday night at our house. Mom was 46 when I left for college and pretty much functioning fine. I was the youngest, and when an empty home, this is when things started downhill for her.

Ten years later, she was hammered every night. Three years after that, she would have a couple of cups of coffee in the morning and then start with the wine around 10 AM. A couple of years later, she spent four nights in ICU with delerium tremens. And then she died.

My point is that if BCG is still fighting the bottle, he could be a lot further down the path than the first time that he was here.

Maybe he caught the most recent and most virulent strain of the Raider Rash.
