Digger Phelps is not my friend

I dread, dread I say, being forced to listen to this man in two hours.

Just keep in mind that you could totally take him in one-on-one, and that he'd probably be really upset after you scored the winning basket. Would he cry? I like to think he'd cry.

That "78"

is a description of his record collection.

could also go with his IQ

or his age
or maybe it’s his pants size
or the last year he said something worth listening to

You’re on a three quarters empty Greyhound, this guy with the Sharpie gets on, trundles down the aisle past about thirty-four empty seats, looks you square in the eye and then, your worst nightmare:
“Is this seat taken?”
…then he’s with you…on you…like white on rice…for the fourteen hour ride to Cleveland…the early days in Beacon…the upset in 1974 over UCLA….“Was that eighty-four strait wins, Digger?”….the early days at ESPN….what Dickie V is really like…how he saved the program at ND.
And all of this in just the first two minutes!! And there are no sharp objects in sight.

Could I beat him one on one?
I don’t know, but I think I’d have a chance.
