re: On This Day 6 Years Ago

I was in college, home for the summer, working mornings at a summer sports camp for kids. Probably 200-250 people total in a very open building about the size of five or six basketball gyms. TVs always had sports on.

Anyway, I made sure everyone in that building knew not to tell me the score. I stayed away from the TVs, and nobody spoiled the game. A few kids tried to mess with me, "Oh, we lost" or "oh, we won" but no one, miraculously, was a dick.

Raced home after work and watched on the DVR. My mom said she didn't know the result, but I noticed late in the game she was watching me. I honestly thought we had lost, because my mom takes joy in her children losing their shite over "trivial" things.

When Donovan scored, I lost my shite. Ran around the house like a crazy person.

Cool story, bro, I know, but it's one of those iconic sports memories I'll never forget. I remember that day like it was yesterday, and I have a shitty memory.
