Admit it: You popped your shirt and pointed with a menacing look at your computer when you heard Sean Singletary was coming back. |
Sean Singletary is staying. (Official Release)
O.K., Wahoo fans welcome back to your computer. I know the jumping up and down and running around the house screaming took a few moments. So did hugging your wife, your kids, your roommate, and the dog. I know you would have hugged the cat too if he didn’t disappear for days and you couldn’t find him to share the love.
I’m sure the mailman will recover from your Dino style tackle that was accompanied by a high decibel “Yabba Dabba Doo!” I’m betting the neighbors will forgive you for ringing the doorbell repeatedly like it was a major emergency only to deliver a high five and a “Wahoowa” when they answered the door.
Oh, you weren’t at home. You’re at work and you weren’t supposed to be checking The Sabre?
Don’t worry. Just explain why today is an exception. Your boss will understand. And I’m sure the company will replace that desk chair. It’s not your fault it shattered when you leapt 10 feet in the air when you were checking The Sabre’s basketball message board and you finally got the news. Unless your boss is a Hokie, a Heel, a Devil, a Terp, a Tiger, an Eagle, a Seminole, a Yellow Jacket, a Deacon, a Wolfie, or a Cane. In that case, you’ll have to replace the chair yourself.
Eh, it was worth it! Be careful with that keyboard though.
What’s that? You’re not at work. No big deal. I’m sure those cameras that took your picture when you ran the red light because you didn’t see it because your head was out the window with one hand pointing and yelling at anybody near by and the other honking the horn repeatedly will give a free pass just this one time. At least if you have a Virginia basketball sticker on your car.

Virginia got Sean Singletary back on Monday when he passed on the NBA. |
I’m betting the folks that own that parking lot won’t mind either. You know, the one where you spontaneously broke into NASCAR style burnouts and left a cloud of smoke 10 stories high. You did make sure the skid marks spelled “U-V-A!” or “Go SS!” didn’t you? That way the owners will know you couldn’t help it. You had to celebrate. You were in the car. There was a parking lot. You couldn’t stop yourself. Something had to be done. Surely, they will understand.
Go ahead and use the HOV lanes too. As long as you have your V-Sabres flag flying that is. You won’t get those dirty looks for riding solo this time. Everyone knows you have to make it to the local sports bar to celebrate with your fellow Hoos. And if some Twerp still blows the horn and gives you the finger – don’t act surprised, you know how Terp fans are. Besides, see that caravan of orange and blue cars behind you. They’ve got your back.
Hold on, you weren’t in the car either? On vacation. It is June after all. That makes sense. Just one thing. How did you convince your family to let you leave the beach … alone … for four hours … while you hit F5 until your finger hurt? Oh, you sent them to the water park for the day while you stayed back to “relax” a little. You sly dog you!
That wasn’t it? You kept checking your blackberry while taking a walk – yes another walk … gotta stretch my legs honey! – on the beach? That’s a good plan too! I’m sure that lifeguard and the frozen lemonade vendor didn’t look at you a little funny when you grabbed them to sway and sing the Good Old Song. The V-Sabre visor, sunglasses, swim trunks, and flip flops probably clued them in before you burst into song anyway.
Besides, who cares what they think?
Sean Singletary is staying!
