Joel Myers says Passion Bucket

by jjreicher on Jan 25, 2008 8:03 PM PST

Perhaps someone can get a more complete version of this story, but I did want to get the note up here: Lakers announcer Joel Myers mentioned the "Passion Bucket" today during the 3rd quarter of the Lakers-Mavs game. He was speaking about Kobe's great effort, and was making a reference to Kobe's comment described in an earlier BN post. What I found interesting though was that when Joel said it, he did not quote Kobe, he simply said something about Kobe's PB being full, knowing exactly what a PB was, treating it like a common phrase.

Articles are now being posted on Google News about PB. Joe Buck has also reportedly made a mention, and there are a few national articles mentioning PB, including one in USAToday.

To be honest, I find this whole PB craze to be very entertaining and funny. The phrase itself doesn't exactly make sense, but we get what it means anyways, and apparently it expresses something that was previously difficult to express.

Here's my question for my fellow BNers though: IS NEXT SEASON, THE SEASON OF THE PASSION BUCKET?

A final note--
I am going to personally adopt the phrase into conversation and posts if I can. So let me say that my passion bucket is full for tomorrow's game. All games matter in the ferocious Pac10.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

My Passion Bucket is Overflowing

and has been for quite some time. I love the phrase and I love that it's getting so much attention. Thank you once again Coach Neuheisel. We are months ahead of opening day and you've already got us on the edge of our seats. Can't wait for Aug 30th.

That's it -- next year at the RB.,..

I'm bringing a blue plastic sand bucket -- the kind little kids get in little beach-toy sets -- slapping a UCLA decal on it and bringing it to every game.

With some letter decals for "PASSION BUCKET" on the side, that'll be my new game gear -- along with the wooden train whistle, the ratchet noisemaker, the pocket-sized metal horn from a squeeze-bulb bike horn which I can blow just as loud as an air horn...

Hey, I bring a LOT of noisemakers into a game. Helps me keep my voice for Monday depos and court appearances.
