Saw Larry Fitzgerald last night at Bar Louie. This post will not cover that topic.

Walking to lunch today I spotted Sean Casey (real name) at Chipotle. I haven't seen the Case Ace in years. I went to eighth grade with him. We rode bikes a lot and played basketball. We also went to college together and his turnover in a intermural quarterfinal game cost us the season. Later that night though, Sean Connelly hit a 3-pointer to beat Illinois in a 9 p.m. game. We drank at Panini's South with some hot freshmen from my sister's dorm. I loved cold Thursday nights at O-State when you'd be waiting in line to get into a bar and no one was wearing a coat.

This post is NOT about professional athletes though. Or people with the same name as a pro.

I love jackets as they allow me to cover my shirt and wear the same thing a lot. I told McGinley in the summer of '06 that I have like "six or seven shirts."

I have gotten some more shirts in the past few years but have stayed consistent with my jackets.

North Face

Oct. 2005 through Nov. 2008

Lady Jacket

Nov. 2008 through Present

The Game Changer

Dec. 2009 through Present

I originally signed my brown North Face jacket to a two-year deal. I eventually negotiated a final one-year deal to close its tenure in the German Village. During a drunken late night at Club 185 in December 2006 (the night I brought home that blonde with the giant fake boobs) I thought to myself that I should write a book from the perspective of my North Face jacket. I should drink more often.

We call my current jacket the Lady Jacket because that crazy blonde drunk chick that NJAG knows (I forgot her blog name) said, "Why are you wearing a lady's jacket?!?!?"

I've gotten good reviews on the Lady Jacket and wear it a ton but in the recent months it's become too big. I don't like wearing it out on weekends. I missed the North Face's ability to also be a shirt. I went out this past weekend and bought a new coat.

If you saw my Facebook status updates over the weekend, I've been calling this new jacket "The Game Changer."

Check-out lady: "Nice jacket."
Me: "Yeah, it's a game changer."

I've worn The Game Changer out twice now. I'm 2-for-2 with the ladies in that time. I cannot stress the impact of this coat jacket. I do think that last night's Bar Louie activities had more to do with having a seat at the bar. If you have a seat at the bar after 1 a.m. at Bar Louie, you will hook up. It's hard not to make it happen.

And while you can't mention Bar Louie without saying its expensive (a $36 tab last night?!?), I do like the place. They had both games on last night and when the Ohio State game ended, they flipped over to California-Kansas. One drawback? They play music the entire time.

Bar Louie was packed last night and filled with tons of chicks. If you were between 24 and 26 and a hot chick, you were at the Lou last night. Our seats are the bar were perfect. I did not take off my Game Changer even though they had the heat crankin'.

There's a couple more things I wanted to mention. I can't remember them.

Merry Christmas!
