@gab_div I came on here to make the same joke lol. You DO know from funny! Aha!

Looking at Richard Jefferson’s velvet suit jacket on ESPN and am second guessing the velvet suit I bought for the holiday party at work…smh

@joelvmoran Had to look at this one again after the Mitch dunk

Good news: We can't stop hitting home runs. Bad news: No more fireworks.

@TheKostos In college also - the star draws a double and someone is wide open under the basket (or like you said - just nothing). I’ve been a fan since 93. A few years behind you. Appreciate your takes on game 2!!!

Didn’t even get a fucking shot off like it’s college basketball

They got Craig David out there doing sideline reporting NBA on Amazon - and I love it!

@ThatGuyRocked Some people are more comfortable shooting off the hip. This guy shoots off the opposite hip in front so frequently- I’ve never seen that - wild. And lights out!!

Fletcher Magee That guy rocked.

@uconnfbscoops Such a good UConn team to be clear.

April 3rd 2004 Duke (1 seed) vs. UConn (2 seed) Duke up 8 with 2:40… the rest is hi6tory

@uconnfbscoops Yale was up at the half game 1 at UConn on this team. Yes would like a cookie haha.

@BarstoolYale Fran Dunphy? Oh wow a second Fran! New record!

Next up let’s investigate Fran’s willingness to fight Illinois teams in the past

@BarstoolYale The block Vs Auburn- forever legend

Day 1😥

@Tommyfeda27 @BarstoolYale But will they accept the transcript?

@BarstoolYale Fordham

@BarstoolYale All that - 2024 - came so close to never happening. All so Penn’s obvious 30+ beatdown could happen. The UNCW loss though - I too am looking at YouTube 2024 like Wolverine there.

Maybe next year

@ch03061 Use PITA. Makes it easy with the MC

System

@lippyent @ch03061 Who knows this due to Tommy Boy?

Can you name this Movie 🎬 from just this shot? Hmm 🤔 ?¿

@BarstoolYale Sorry I meant Tuesday. Too soon.

@BarstoolYale I told of so many degens who stopped by X on Monday night to do better. They don’t get it. He was so good. This season was payback for the comeback over brown and Auburn upset 2 years ago. I hope Celiscar stays.

A “Dear Nick Townsend” post might have broken me

@BarstoolYale I’m curious how long you’ve been in the game. Not in a judgmental way. For some of us it is surreal how good Yale has been this past 12 years.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”
