Boeheim in B'ham

[bhambruiser]

The strangest thing just happened to me.

I was sitting in the Brookwood Mall in beautiful Birmingham, Alabama. When my friend says to me "That's Jim Boeheim." Sure enough I look up and see him and his hot wife and a bunch of kids. It was odd...Why he is in Birmingham? I have no idea.

But I went up to him and said hello and shook his hand.

very odd though

I've run into him a couple times, although I guess it isn't that strange in my case.

Not that odd. I'm fairly certain that Boeheim is leaving Syracuse in order to serve as the Head Coach, General Manager and Co-Owner of the ABA's newest expansion franchise, the Birmingham Blue. The team's colors are Blue, Orange and White. The team mascot is a giant blueberry with a face, arms and legs, as well as a beanie-like cap perched rakishly atop its berry/body/head. The team logo features the aforementioned mascot ferociously dunking a Red, White and Blue basketball... oh, and gradients... lots and lots of gradients.

funny

I actually found out why he is here. There is a Coaches Verses Cancer Celebrity Golf Tournament going on here in town. There are a lot of college coaches here (Calhoun, Gary Williams etc) for it. But also his wife is from Alabama.

mystery solved

ya well I saw Ben Stein in the Phoenix airport, he was wearing a suit with sneakers, and he looked very bored.

In other words, he looked normal.

The ABA????

NONSENSE!!!

Jimmy B will coach in college for the remainder of his career. book it.

I'm sure he was there to support the Coaches v. Cancer tournament and I can say this as someone who has actually played golf with Coach B. in a local tournament (Centerpoint CC in Canandaigua, NY).
