Ten Years Ago Today

[fundamental9903]

True story. I was stationed in Corpus during the 05 Finals and I was a nervous wreck in Game 5 as Robert Horry delivered one for the ages. So I come into work, bouncing off the walls proclaiming, "We're going to win the le. There's no way Detroit wins 2 in SA." My supervisor, who knew nothing about sports but loved to with me about it, calmly tells me, "The Spurs will lose Game 6." "Yeah right, ok" I say.

Game 6. Detroit seemed like they couldn't miss especially in the 4th quarter. So I come into work, head down and all quiet. Supervisor is laughing and ing with me all day, telling me "I told you so!" The next day, Game 7. At work and I tell my supervisor, "Ok smarty pants, whats going to happen tonight? He waits till the end of the day to tell me his prediction.

"Spurs win Game 7 by 7." His exact words.

Spurs win 81-74.

I told him, "Go buy a lottery ticket or something and I'm taking leave to go see the parade".
