The Paul Hewitt Thread

[mason2k1]

We just had a new Krispy Kreme open in Chesterfield County.

I went and did a magazine story on the nut jobs who camped outside in 14-degree weather on the night before the store opening to win free doughnuts.

Here's the link for anyone interested:

Anyhow, I talked to one guy who said Krispy Kremes are better than sex. The guy next to him didn't miss a beat and said his wife obviously wasn't doing something right.

We all laughed our asses off.

I grew up 2 miles west of that, right where the Powhite went.

It could have been worse, Jim. He could have said he enjoyed having sex with a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

Gives new, and thoroughly disturbing meaning to the phrase "glazed doughnut."

I'll take any of those assistants over Hewitt. Chris Caputo? Sure, why not. Give him a Krispy Kreme donut and tell him to hit the road recruiting.

 

[Walter]

No Rhoades on the list. I guess only vcu fans are high on him. Must be a trick to get us to hire him.

An article on the great recruits in the DC area and didn't even interview Hewitt.

Walt, I get all of the Hewitt bashing these days, but you're really reaching on this one. They didn't interview Turgeon, Thompson, Lonegran or AU's coach either. Two of our recruits this year are from this area (Mayimba and Porter), and a big reason we brought Skeeters on board is because of his AAU ties.

I will not let facts get in the way of my Hewitt bashing. It is all I have left at this point.

You must have been a high roller. Many were the nights I had peanuts and popcorn for dinner while I used my last $12 for happy hour beers.

It was all about TT Reynold's happy hour. I'd get off practice and immediately go there. $2 for every drink except top shelf, and it went up $0.25 every hour till 9. It was the best. I can't count on one hand the number of times I'd show up the next day with no credit card and they'd tell me I forgot to close my tab from last night. I'd just have em reopen it. Half off apps, too. Fairfax shut them down but they opened up a new spot in Petworth that does BOGO. The place is called DC Reynolds, and I strongly suggest people in DC go there.

Also, I'd take pretty much any of those assistants. I didn't even read the article.

I only ever managed to get to TTs once before they shut down (I guess that dates me...), but I spent the time drinking with a girl I liked. Eventually we got so wasted we made out for a while in the back of the bar and wound up back at her place. 6 years later we have a lovely apartment in Rosslyn with two cats.

Fairfax has dollar beers from 4-9 on Thursdays at BWU. I've left my tab open as well as my dignity there on several occasions.

3 cheers for a shameless self plug.

Just kidding, good piece. Some people are into that kinda stuff, my buddy camped outside a new openingChick Fil A in a chicken suit in order to win free Chick Fil A for a year.

I wonder if Skeeters played baseball growing up. Like most teams, nicknames were not only mandatory but were moronically unique on my team. You simply add "ski" or "piece" to the end of the nickname or last name. I wonder if when Hewitt wants to talk to Skeeters he uses "Skeet Piece".

In more related news.....Caputo back to Mason seems to obvious. But like been said earlier, I feel that bridge was burned to the ground. Lavall Jordan sounds great.

Dr Gunnie on Twitter:

Coach L used to get a 75k bonus at the end of March if he stayed at Mason - Hewitt gets 85k on March 1st - Hewitt's agent strikes again!

I'm sure this will get some folks fired up.

But how are the wings? Is BWU the place in the Safeway shopping center near downtown Fairfax?

Yes it is. Not sure how the wings are. Whenever I went I was too busy drinking as many dollar beers as I could before heading over to Aulds.

Dollar beers work for me too...need to add BWU to the rotation!

Damn right 5-2. This is taxpayer funded, correct? 'Cause the only thing I hear people complaining about these days is food stamp recipients and people who selfishly aspire to the middle class like teachers. Hey Bill O'Reilly - I gotta taxpayer rip off story for you - his name is Paul Hewitt.

BTW: Gunnie reported that Hewitt will get an 85k bonus for staying through March.

Hewitt earned the bonus on March 1 - see http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog...paring-deals-mason-gave-hewitt-and-larranaga/.

Auburn fired their coach tonight following their loss in the SEC Tournament. He had a horrendous overall record over four years...talk about a tough job. I'm surprised people in Alabama even know what the sport of basketball is.

Time for Mason to do the same.

Geez - even worse.
