Day 3 - Sunda, April 3
No games today. I wonder what we can get into.
7:25 - Pepster arises, thankful that he did not have chicken last night, but yes to the donuts that awaited him. He walks downstairs and doesn't see as much chicken carnage as he expected.
8:58 - Sinickal comes down with chili cheese fritos - "I like to call this the Kevin Dick."
8:59 - Pepster asks Sinickal, "How was the chicken, was it really good or did it just hit the spot?" Sinickal's response, "Oh I forgot about that!" It was really good.
9:03 - Watching Sports Center, which led Tiger Woods mind you, and after Caleb Love's 3 the anchor says, "And Duke will never recover." Pepster hopes that this is true. Never recover.
9:07 - Bill Self, in his interview about his players, "I think they came down here to win 2 games." Pepster calls the title for Carolina.
9:26 - Discussing chili cheese fritos and Kev-O says, "Delicious, with some regret sprinkled in."
10:20 - In Uber to Cafe Sbisa for Jazz Brunch.

11:30 - After a family in Texas Tech gear sits next to us, Kev-O tells the story of he and his wife watching Baylor (BU) playing Texas Tech (TT) in football, and calls it the "BUTT Bowl". Yep, just a couple of Dicks watching the Butt Bowl.
11:43 - Family of 4 walks in, with a kid (late teens/early 20s) wearing a Duke shirt. Sinickal, "Yeah, that's a punchable face!"
11:44 - Kev-O, about the same family, "I wonder what it's like to have not 1, but 2 failed sons."

13:03 - Walking off our great brunch - crawfish beignets, fried pickles, Crabcake Benedict, Crawfish Etouffee Omelette and Jambalaya Pasta - as we pass Cafe du Monde we see that the line is BLOCKS long.
13:05 - Guy on the sidewalk with a microphone and a speaker talking religion, specifically that "Thou shalt show no image of God." Sinickal says "Pretty sure I just saw God last night. He looked like Hubert Davis!"
13:14 - Enter Coyote Ugly. For nostalgia purposes.
13:15 - Bartender just flabbergasted with our Southwestern Central logo, asks if we are fisherman because of the crawfish. It's a Scorpion. We tell her we are coaches. She doesn't know what a Scorpion is, as she was only born in 1994. Pepster says, that is young, but not THAT young, I mean, not like R. Kelly young.
13:19 - Guy bends backwards over the bar for his tequila shot. Pretty sure he has never been with a black girl.
13:20 - Guy walks in wearing a Duke jacket. Sinickal asks him: (1) Why are you wearing a jacket; and (2) Why does it say Duke? He responds, "Always rep your team, and his jacket doesn't fit in his backpack.
13:22 - Bartender to Duke guy, "Why you got your jacket on?"
13:30 - In the bathroom is written "We Dem Boys!" Someone edited it to add "Allegedly!"

13:45 - Bartender wants to hand Sinickal the microphone, but she notices that the batteries are out. Pepster says, "You strike me as a girl who is angry when the batteries run out!"
13:51 - Discussing how we know global warming exists, because they used to wear wool suits in July decades ago in a place like New Orleans. Sinickal notes "That with voting rights came breathable fabrics!"

16:03 - Kid looks like he doesn't want to be batting, and Kev-O decides that "The kid's dad made him do this to buy a fortnight skin. Dad was obviously on jv in high school - as a senior!"
16:08 - Another kid comes up to bat, and Kev-O notes, "That kid belongs to a country club!"

16:28 - We enter the Fan Shop. Pepster asks, "Where is the 'Coach K is done' shirts?"
16:44 - After leaving FanFest, Pepster notes that they had to walk from the far back of the convention center. Kev-O thinks that the NABC is specifically targeting Pepster. Sinickal says it must be a conspiracy against the light brown man. We look up and Mulate's is across the street. We decide we must go.
16:46 - Enter Mulate's.
