That guy was in my freshman dorm. Small world.

Is this one of those things where basketball means something else in Mormon culture? For some reason I'm imagining naked wrestling in funny hats.

If SoonerCoug is playing basketball at midnight, onanism fits in there somewhere...

I'm not too proud to say I had to look that up. Curious as I'm a big fan.

...as if you've never shaken hands with the Bishop.

There's two kinds of liars in this world, those that say they don't and those that say they quit.

I learned the meaning of the term after reading a hilarious description on cougarboard of a new coach Mendenhall's training regimen as described by a BC Eagle fan before our respective team's game a few years ago.

edit:
After going back and reading the linked post, I decided it's not as funny as I remember. It's a shame, because it was gut-busting funny in my memory.

I voted "yes" but I was not actually caught red-handed. When i returned home after playing midnight BBall at the church, I casually told my parents what I had been up to. My father's reaction was not what I was expecting (I figured he wouldn't think it was a big deal).

I did it on a Saturday afternoon with my dad's key and my friends. I was busted by the scoutmaster, and he made me promise to report myself to the Bishop after sacrament mtg. I did do this, and I don't recall that the Bishop even reacted.
