We should get a picture of the dude and his father…

So without understanding the full story, these images are just incredibly creepy…OK they are a little creepy even with the story, but I have come to accept that.  The story goes something like this.  My roommates in college had been huge Binghamton Bearcats basketball fans since freshman year.  I don’t think they missed a single home games our entire 4 years at school.  I however, being a Syracuse native, thought the Bearcats were a joke.  A team who has never been national champions, let alone gone dancing during March Madness is the last team I wanted to root for.  That all changed my senior year when I was finally convinced to go to one game.  The experience was amazing.  I remember saying, “Wait, that’s the one the player that got arrested for stealing condoms at Walmart?  AND they were Magnums?!  Wow this feels just like a Syracuse game.”  I instantly got Bearcat fever.  So flash forward a couple months to the America East tournament being held in Albany.  We of course had to attend this to show our support for our Bearcats.  We had been considering many ways to get in the heads of the opposing players, and I had come up with a genius idea.  I explained that we should scour the internets for a picture of one of the opposing teams star players posing with his father, blow this picture up to a life size poster, cut a hole out where the fathers head is, and put our faces into the poster.  Now if anyone can explain to me how this isn’t the greatest idea ever, please leave a comment.  Well the roommates didn’t think this was a good idea at all.  They actually thought it was one of the dumbest things they had ever heard, and I heard it plenty.  For the rest of the year whenever anyone had an idea, someone would pipe in, “and then we should get a picture of the dude and his father….”  Well for the remainder of the semester, when the opportunity was there I ventured into my roommates room to find pictures of them and their fathers/grandfathers.  So guys, I hope when you’re taking your big important lawyery tests at law school, or making the next great Pixar movie, you have this image stuck in your head and you realize what it could of done to our opponents during the America East Tournament.

–UPDATE–
Here is a video from when we first arrived at the tournament that I took on my iPhone where we actually discuss the idea (fast forward to the point where there is 2:35 left in the video to skip the meaningless convo in the beginning):
