Whoo, St. John's in the Philly Hoops Classic. Up for a game Whale? I can crash at you and your girls apt yes?

[jayhawks147]

Wow you set a record for longest post Melisa

Can't wait for Kansas to beat those stupid Memphis Tigers!

I don't think my girl would be cool with hosting someone we've never met in person. I wouldn't mind, but she's shy. Maybe we could get a drink if you come down. But you have money in your family. Stay at the Rittenhouse!

[daviddinkinsjr]

You worried she might want to jump aboard little Dink?
