One of my students is from Olympia, and his Mom -- a PhD in marine biology -- was intrigued (and perhaps concerned) about her Son's new University and it's infatuation with its Football team. She heard about "Griz Groups" around the country, and found this one near their home. So she went on game day to see what this was all about. She said she walked in the door, the place was packed, but somebody looked up and saw that she was looking somewhat bewildered and hailed her over to their table. She said they sat her right down, got her story about her Son attending UM, explained everything to her, walked her through the game and, by the end, she was a confirmed GRIZ FAN! even though with her PhD from UW. She later related that she'd never seen or experienced anything like that. She was an academic, and not a natural sports fan, but now she and her Son exchange frequent Griz emails, and she watches religiously. She was really impressed by the Griz fans she met at O'Blarneys, that this was a real community and they had so quickly and willingly made her a part of it, how wonderful these people were, and how much they loved their team.runcatchscore said:O'Blarney's in Olympia, Washington
Should have a good crowd. Have a cheerleader, raffle of Montana gear, and special on the Menu. Should be fun!!

It's my first day off in 27 days, told the boss that I'd quit before I worked that day. He understood, even bought the bottle of Johnny Walker Black.
