Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 IMO, using something like that as an excuse is pretty low but I can't really think of a better one right now either. True. But haven't we all used some kind of bogus excuse to avoid missing a wings game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rikadyn 16 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 I need a good, legit excuse to miss class. I was thinking about showing up to class, telling my GSI that my sister just went into labor and then going back to my apartment and watching the game. Just to note...i do have a pregnant sister, so this isnt that far of a stretch. This is horrible.... say your anal glaucoma is acting up and you can't see your ass coming in.

WingsZR2 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 "It's fun to be part of a team again," said Bertuzzi, who played in only seven games prior to undergoing back surgery in November. "The mental part is pretty much done, it's (the back) 100 percent healed. I'm going to treat it that way and try to get some hits early and get involved in the game." Will we see another Calder type first goal first shift? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwfan007 18 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 i wouldnt go that far, but could see a nice 1 and 1 game or maybe 2 assists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covenant 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 This is a perfect opponent for Big Bert to get his feet wet with - underachieving, but at times dangerous. If things go smooth he'll have two games under his belt before Monday's HUGE contest vs. da Ducks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinWing 26 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 The old "I'm sick" excuse doesn't work to well here. Ahh, i wouldnt' call it low persay...I'd say desperate is more the right choice. Maybe so. Low would be more like if you claimed someone had died or gotten really sick or whatnot. But whatever excuse you like best, you should try to wriggle yourself out of the class. True. But haven't we all used some kind of bogus excuse to avoid missing a wings game? I don't need to since gametime is usually at night here. But I sure will come up with an excuse if need be, first things first! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I sure will come up with an excuse if need be, first things first! LOL... I usually don't have to resort to skipping class to avoid missing a game, because all my classes are over by 4... but in past semesters, I have been known to skip once or twice. Perhaps, that's why my grades sucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great, now I know you a little better! I would most likely have the same problem, the true fan syndrome. Not to bring you down, but so the conclusion is that your grades would have sucked anyway!

wingslogo19 281 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Yay! I can't wait to see Bert out there, hope he fits in soon. How about him beating Feds on a one-on-one and scoring? Wingslogo, I have a strong 4-1 feeling today. What do ya think? EDIT: I forgot, finally we have the shorter injury list! The return of #44 TODD BERTUZZI... Im pumped up for this one that's for damn sure.. And Finwing, i think its right to say a 4-1 game tonight, though im feeling a 5-1 game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
