The X factor- Chicago bulls game tonight

smartalecc5 · #1 03-05-2005, 03:06 PM

Today is Scott Skiles (head coach of the chicago bulls) birthday.

Is it possible that there could be a trend relating to the coachs team b/c they want to win for him on his birthday??

Anyone know anything about this??

I REALLY REALLY doubt it.

It does remind me a of a college-hockey game I broadcast for Miami (OH) at Alaska-Fairbanks one time.

Fairbanks was reasonable, but not that good and Miami was a significant favorite, even on the road.

After losing the Friday game on our coach's birthday (and playing terribly) there some was sort of pre-planned cake or something during the post-game meal at the hotel. The coach looked like he wanted to throw the damn cake out the window.

After the players had cleared out and he was sitting there mulling over the loss he took another bite of the cake and was heard to say "happy f'cking birthday to me'

1/2 the players on the team probally arent even aware that its his birthday.
