Worst Trip Moment:

• Watching the worst half of basketball in the history of MSU at Coaches Corner with Chet feeding me shots of Sambuca, Dramboi and Crown Royal. Chet later punched me when he saw my scarlet letter, otherwise known as a UM student id card.

Best Trip Moment:

• Sonic.
• or, when Chet and I ran the bar inside Rupp and then upon our return to the arena for the late game drove off the Mormon family.

Worst Trip Basketball Moment:

• The Ohio $tate University’s “victory” over Xavier – how Oden was not called for a game ending flagrant foul when he body slammed that guy from the X I will never know.
