Anyone know if Spiegel is going to even work the full three days this week?

I believe last week he stated that he is taking Wednesday off to travel and get all drinky.

Bring Goff in FT for a Mac and Goff show and put Spiegs with LoHo nights 6-10 which would be a decent listen for that time of day.

2 on, 1 off


Makes sense.

That's his football game strategy as well.

I kinda wish IB had told him who he was, because I think that would have made Spiegal nervous.

Yeah, I almost expected you to report that Goff and Bob Vandington were sharing his seat during the fourth quarter.

I rarely troll.

I don't know if it would have made him more nervous, but it would probably have been less creepy...

Why was it creepy? If John Cusack had sat close to him would Irish Boy have been expected to go up to him and introduce himself and ask why he was on his phone?

Yes, someone sitting two feet away from me and describing what I'm doing with out me knowing is not creepy at all...

He wasn't giving a play by play. He noticed a few small things and posted it. By that logic, every post in the Brush With Fame section is "creepy".

Is it less creepy that I didn't post until I got home? The only thing I wrote at the game was "Spiegel is sitting next to me". I didn't even keep notes on what he was doing at the game. I remembered that he walked out before the fourth quarter all on my own.

We have a whole section devoted to "Brushes with Fame". Is that creepy too?

Something about watching someones habits without them knowing so you can post it on a message board feels creepy to me.

Then I suggest you stay out of all the sports and sports radio sections. Lots of creepy stuff going on there.

I wasn't studying Spiegel during the game. There were more pressing matters at hand. It's a shame that Spiegel missed most of them.

:Has the board ever been this much inside one of the hosts heads?.

I've been more sober before, so forgive misspellings and the like.

Fun time, good experience. The direction thing went off pretty seamlessly, except perhaps only on the Northwestern Pick 6 were everyone had to trudge the other way. About 70% Northwestern fans, which surprised me, but lots of people you could tell have never, ever gone to an NU game before; lots of blank purple shirts, Ravens jerseys, etc.

In a lot of ways, this entire weekend couldn't have gone worse for Northwestern. I know the official line will be that this was a unique experience and they were glad to be a part of it, but this game will be remembered nationally as one of two things: 1.) the game that Northwestern couldn't even measure the damn field, or 2.) the game Mikel LeShoure left shoe prints on their back. This was your moment, but I guess by now, Northwestern fans should be used to losing bowl-type games.

It's pretty clear now that all the "Chicago's Big Ten" team stuff was specifically directed at Illinois and this game. They decked out everything in purple, pretended Illinois didn't exist, didn't allow the Marching Illini to play and exiled them to the corner furthest from the field. I think the final Illinois TD was an FU TD, which I didn't have a problem with.

Also: Illinois beats Northwestern, NIU, and SIU in the same season. That's like Florida beating FSU, Miami, and USF in a season, right? Same concept?

Finally, Spiegel is pretty weird. He was only in his seat for a combined 45 minutes or so. He spent the majority (no hyperbole) of that type typing on his phone. He was two seats away from me, but the seat between us was empty and the seat next to him was empty for most of the game too. He didn't get there until about halfway through the first quarter (and the first quarter was looooong), and he left before the fourth quarter even started. He had no emotion whatsoever for either team during the game.

Well, now that you mention it...

Seriously, A "brush with fame" is in the eye of the beholder. Two of my friends took their girlfriends to Ron of Japan in Northbrook. One of the guys is a big Bulls/NBA fan and the other couldn't give a fuck. So they're at the table just the four of them and the hoops fan sees the hostess leading a big black dude over to their table. He gets all excited and starts telling the other guy, "Look, Chuck! Stacy King is coming to sit with us! It's Stacy King, Chuck! Stacy King!"

Chuck didn't care one bit. Until the waitress began taking King and his girl's order first. Chuck is the kind of douchebag that raises a ruckus in restaurants all the time anyway. So he goes nuts. "We were here first!" It didn't help when the waitress replied something like, "Oh, dat Meesta Stacy Keeng. He play for Chicago Boo. We serve fast so no one bother heem." Eventually Stacy asked the waitress to move him and his girl to another table.

Are you stretching your eyelids into a slant with your fingers as you do your japanese impersonation?

Some people are stars and some work backstage.
