I got tossed out of Bar Anticipation in Belmar, NJ on my 21st birthday after a few beers and a few Mind Erasers. Bartender looked at my friends and said, “Get him out, he’s about to throw up.” And as a friend was driving me home, I did. Projectile, out the passenger window as the car was moving.
I had my coat stolen in the Brewery on that cold day we beat Notre Dame.
I thought I was antifreeze up when I left, but I was wrong. Froze on the way home.

I used to play club soccer there (International Soccer Club). I think at one point it was the "women's athletic field.
Was a guy from Jamaica named Desi on the International Soccer Club team with you? He lived on my dorm floor (5th floor Snyder) and was a very good athlete. After he won the IM championships 100 yard and 220 yard dashes beating football players, he got requests from PSU football coaches to try out for the team. Of course he had no interest, he only wanted to play soccer.

That sounds familiar--but it was almost 50 years ago. In IM's once we went up against a guy who ended up on PSU's team the following year. We lost on corner kicks (a very odd tiebreaker). We only gave up one goal all season (and not in that game), but the corner kick loss kept us out of the playoffs. And we probably scored a goal that was not counted, as the goals had nets tight to the goal itself (straight down) and their keeper caught the ball off the netting.

I'm sure I must have met Desi tho as I was (as you know) 4th Floor Snyder my senior year in (as I recall) Potter House.

The only IM thing I ever won was ice hockey at tOSU.n(and a runners up).
