ORUTerry Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Is the practice gym going to be big enough? There will five of us coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieoru Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It better be cause Victory Christian Center has just about all the other areas at the Mabee that day. The practice gym is pretty big though it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieoru Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Also, ORUTerry did you wear a long sleeve red button up dress shirt in the game and sit on the blue hair side??? If so you were on ESPN quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Nope..... I was on the isle with a long sleeve blue shirt and ORU sweater vest. My good friends Isbig and PfsEd were on ESPN a few times. So were my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieoru Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Oh alright, well I liked that guy in the red dress shirt, when they called fouls he would stand up and put his arms up and look around like he couldn't believe what just happened. I thought that was you for sure, not sure why, but I bet if I watched you during a game I would like that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 That guy has nothing on me.... just ask the poor people who sit around me. Isn't that right TMH8286? I have no voice left - and I had to give a presentation today at work. That is taking one for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 My daughter is laughing at me right now.... I feel old but I think I have a few good years in me. If we had lost last night though, I'm not sure my heart could have taken it. It's funny.... the glow has not diminished yet. Let's hope we get a venue close enough to make the trip.

Guest Mount Baldy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Interesting how everyone griped that the Diamond Dinner was on a Sunday night but have no problem with a Sunday night watch party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orumom Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 THe watch party will be over before church starts. I'm not aware of evening services being between 4 & 6 pm unless it is a church large enough to have multiple services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
