29 January 2004
I've been telling you all year that the ACC is going to be crazy, and the evidence just keeps piling up to prove me right. Two exhibits tonight. In the first game, Maryland @ WFU, the Deacs bounced back from their four game losing streak by overcoming a ten point deficit to send Gary Williams and the Terrapins back to Maryland with a loss. Justin Gray broke out of his slump with 15 first half points and 20 for the game. Freshman Chris Paul also came alive, scoring 25 points and hitting a clutch three pointer to give the deacs the win, "The shot clock was winding down and Wake Forest freshman Chris Paul had to improvise. Taught to drive to the basket in that situation, Paul went against the lesson plan and fired up a 3-pointer. He made it, and snapped the 19th-ranked Demon Deacons four-game losing streak with the shot."
In the second game of the night, the Blue Devils won a close game in Cameron against the under-rated FSU Seminoles who are proving to be a contender in the ACC race this year.
Tonight was Josh Howard night at "The Joel" as the former Wake star and Dallas Mavericks rookie was in house to have his Jersey retired at half time. Before the game Josh was signing autographs, and since I was rocking out in the J-Ho Mavs jersey, I went down to get it signed. Well I was about third in line when some little kids cut in front of me, which was stupid, but they are little kids so sometimes you gotta look the other way, but then some old men did the same thing, STUPID. Then the sports marketing guy came and whisked him away for the player introductions. So NO autograph for me and my jersey. So then when they did the retiring ceremony at half time I had my camera so I could take some pictures. BUT, they had the lights off so I couldn't get any good ones b/c they were too far away for the flash, and the spotlight wasn't good enough for pictures. So not only did I not get an autograph, but I didn't even get any good pictures. So as far as that is concerned, the game sucked, but WE DID WIN, so that was awesome, GO DEACS!!
