By now, you've probably heard about the Louisville cheerleader who nearly cost his team a big basketball game by flinging the ball into the air to celebrate a game that wasn’t quite over. His premature party resulted in a technical foul, allowing Pittsburgh a chance to tie the game with a desperation three-pointer. Thankfully – for us Cardinal fans and one very nervous cheerleader – the shot was wayward.
What you probably don’t know, is that this isn’t the first time the cheerleader has acted so precipitously. Through my crack research, I’ve uncovered the following information about other times he has jumped the gun.
• On election night in 2000 he exchanged a high five with Al Gore to celebrate Gore being elected president.
• While in the military, he helped hang a "Mission Accomplished" banner on a certain battleship.
• He twice sent cards to John Calapari congratulating him on his Final Four appearances.
• He blamed Rick Pitino for this year’s loss to Marquette.
• He tried to book Charlie Sheen to speak to his church group regarding his remarkable personal transformation.
• He is a power user on MySpace.
• He remains bullish on AOL stock.
• He bought tickets to see Conan O’Brien host “The Tonight Show.”
• He can’t wait for Destiny’s Child’s next tour.
Of course, I kid. I probably shouldn’t be so hard on the guy. Rumor has it that after his gaffe he rode home in the rain on his Segway.
