Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

New potential recruit for the Bruins to keep an eye on

He's a bit undersized, at 1 foot, 8 and a half inches, and he weighs a little under eight pounds. He has no baggage at this point, which is good, although there are rumors that he's incontinent. Yes, we are talking about my brand new grandson, born at 12:06 this morning.

I went roller coastering today. I figure in about 6 or 7 years, if the liver lasts that long, I can take grandson roller coastering with me. Life is good.

Congrats Fox

Although I think we need to decline your grandson’s services as an athlete, and bring him in as our new AD, effective immediately. We’ve seen that ADs like Donut Dan that know how to speak only use and abuse that power to make excuses and spin terrible decisions. It’s time to go another direction; with a person who is incapable of telling lies because he cannot say anything.

Congrats!

Have two little ones and can not picture being a grandpa. Enjoy your new addition to the family!

Many congrats Fox!

And may your liver last long enough to see your great grandson!

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Congratulations Fox!

Top 10 recruit for sure!

Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.

Great news Grandpa!

I recommend you take any opportunity to have your grandson join you watching UCLA games: 1) to begin the indoctrination and 2) so that when things go bad, you can look at him, smile, and think, “So what?”

Class of 2032, no doubt!

Enjoy the babysitting duties and keep that liver healthy!

Congratulations, Fox.

By “rollercoastering” do you literally mean “rollercoastering” (i.e., Busch Gardens later in the day) or was the experience a “rollercoaster ride”?

Both

We had a leftover one day pass at Universal, got the word about the event at about 3:30 our time, which took a big load off (the kid was very late), and then had a very pleasant time on the nice coasters at Universal, the Hulk coaster being my favorite.

That Hulk coaster is awesome.

Congrats Fox!

I hope your unique sense of humor is passed along to the young man.

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. ~ Vince Lombardi

Congratulations, Fox!

I’m sure you’ll have him doing the 8-clap even before he can say all the letters.

Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.

Have one on me, Fox

(and I’ll pay up when and if we meet). [The “and if” is my legal loophole.]

Sincere congratulations. Mrs. B’nut and I are still waiting on no. 1. I hope I’m still up to roller coastering when we’re graced.

Just curious: as a thrid-generation Fox, the lad will be named, what? Fox LXXI III? Fox 71.3? The Esteemable Young Vulpes Vulpes?

by Bruinut on Nov 11, 2011 2:51 PM PST reply actions  

Congratulations Fox!

If you were a betting man, do you think he will be a north or south campus Bruin?
When we meet up drinks on me.
