Few Stories by Deron Schreck

The Colonial Relays Somehow, the foursome of Gerald Ryan, PJ Sole, Dan DiSanto, and I are roommates at the hotel. The reason why I say that is Dan and I were sprinters, and Gerry and PJ were...uh...not. Well, before we even get to the hotel, PJ got a hold of some Wild Turkey at a Williamsburg bar, and got so drunk, that he passed out on the van. Coach McCorkle is asking everybody questions on the van and there's PJ in the back, mouth wide open, hat over his eyes. In order to get PJ to answer Coach's questions, someone (Jim Albanese, I think) is nodding PJ's head with his hand, so that PJ would look like he was awake. We get to the hotel, Dan and I are wide awake the entire night, because PJ is snoring so loud. Western Connecticut Gerry, Marlon Matthews, Dave Pataky, and I shared a room. It was so friggin' cold outside that the heat wouldn't warm up the room. Over time, the room warms up, but no one is getting any sleep on this trip. Marlon's watching Snoop on MTV. Gerry can't sleep because the bed's uncomfortable. I'm sleeping on the floor, and Dave's doing HOMEWORK with the lamp on. I'm complaining that the floor is hard as a rock. Gerry tells me that he'll switch spots. I'm thinking, "What a sucker!" Turns out, that Gerry was sleeping right next to the heater, and couldn't take the heat. And it was hot! First words out of my mouth were, "Gerry, you a**." By the next morning, someone turned the heat off. The room was freezing once again, Gerry was sleeping on a chair wrapped in blanket, Marlon wasn't in the room by the time we all woke up, and Dave slept like a rock. Delaware State Someone's talking about how smart Will Urie is. This guy was smart to say the least. Someone mentions that he's had all A's and one B. Jim Albanese says, "What is so big about that? I only have one B." PJ replied, "Yeah, but you haven't had any A's." Delaware State I don't know if anyone remembers this, but around '93/'94 Rowan had a weight man that was terribly overweight. PJ and Gerry called him, "Slops" and "Slophouse". At the NJAC meet in '94 at TSC, the press box guy comes up to us after a loss to Rowan and said something dumb like, "Well guys, you'll have to defeat Rowan without me, since this is my last year here." This is the press box announcer, remember. I looked at Gerry and said, quoting Dean Martin to Dom DeLuise in The Cannonball Run, "Thanks, a**hole." |
