Dorough Delinquents

For those of you not lucky enough to witness the basketball games last night, let me fill you in on the events. The girls team stormed out to an early lead and never looked back. The guys team had hot shooting from Tulowitzky and Dickinson to blow past Sewanee. But the real story was about a toilet bowl, a man in a dress, leopard print pants, way too tight leather pants and a golden spike. Continuing a 5 year tradition the baseballers came out in full support, and in full costume for the BB squads and cheered them onto victory.

Timmay came out in a cape and a golden spike attached to his belt... Tex wore a size 7 women's pair of red leather pants and a skeleton t-shirt...Stats donned a "Vote or Die" shirt from P Diddy and a 'neat' pair of sunglasses...Slongs... gulp, wore a short blue dress with a white flowery pattern and sported a pink umbrella...JJ lit up the arena with a casual pair of teal velor pants three sizes too small and capped it off with a fur hat...and there were plenty more. But the winner goes to Aut, who showed up in a life size, cloth toilet bowl! Yes, a toilet bowl...The best part about his costume was the nice young lady that escorted him to the gym.... Now that's devotion. Can you hear her mother on the phone the next day?

Mom: So, how was your date last night?
Girl: Great, Aut took me to a BB game in a toilet bowl suit...

Classic!


Back to the Diamond...

Saturday we saw live pitching and hitting for the first time in '07. I was most impressed with the pitchers abilities to throw over 85% strikes in the controlled setting. Well done. The hitting will catch up as it is always behind this time of year. No worries.

Today, assistant coach Justin Bach made his debut with the Petrels. That rounds out the coaching staff along with Scott Casey and David Wolensky. We are very lucky to have three assistants this year. It will only make the team and program stronger. Thank you in advance for a great season.

Stay Tuned this week as we will have first guest blogger...

Have a Great Petrel Day!!

I'm just SO glad to see that the boys are keeping up this tradition! I remember a few of us Baseball Girlfriends (AKA Diamond Dolls) dressing up as well. They need to get the ladies involved!

Well the dress might be the top gayest thing I have ever done. One of these days it will make it to the practice field.

Great Picture! Even if the dress doesn’t make it to the field, no doubt all that team spirit will!

While the school spirit is nice to see, the costumes keep drifting further and further away from tradition. I guess no one can ever tell these guys that they are not unique. As for the Diamond Dolls, no one will be able to come close to replacing Amy or Cat.

You mean the "spankables?"
