MCCALLUM MILKS CLOCK, ANNOUNCES COLLEGE DESTINATION AT LAST MOMENT

COUNTDOWN TO DECISION 2010 - McCallum & McCallum (4 more years, 4 more years!!!!)

3:00 – I am already lathered up with excitement and reaching a fevered pitch of anticipation as I start to prepare for the Ray McCallum college commitment announcement on national TV: T-MINUS 60 MINUTES

·        Since I will skip attending the announcement itself in person, I set up shop in front of my big screen television at home with all the appropriate accompaniments – i.e. chips, soda, pen, pad of paper, laptop, Country Day Yellowjacket hoodie, baseball cap, and matching DCD wrist bands, replica 2010 state championship ring, UofD-Mercy pennant and accompanying oversized foam Titans NUMBER ONE hand.  

3:20 – To get myself even more pumped up, I throw in classic bball movies, "Blue Chips" and "He Got Game" to put myself in the proper mind set. Quick side tangent: who do u think would win a one-on-one game between Ray Allen………er…….. Jesus Shuttlesworth of "Game" fame or Shaquille O'Neal……..er……… Neon Bodeaux from the mad underrated "Chippers"?

3:40 – In an effort to further put myself in the correct mode for this epic occasion, I run out to my driveway and shoot some hoops, re-enacting "Big Play Ray's" 25-point first half-performance in last month's Class B state final. Not to sound arrogant, but I think I did a pretty good job considering I don't have a speck of the talent of this future college star.

3:55 – Taking my seat in front of my big screen once again, I cool down by watching STEPHON CURRY highlights on youtube (Curry is the player I best compare to McCallum in terms of immediate impact he can make at a school like UofD)  

4:10 – Upset that the announcement is 10 minutes late………getting ANXIOUS (I don't really understand why though since I told everybody THIS LAST MONTH that Ray was going to end up with his dad at UofD-Mercy.

4:18 – Ray announces he will be a UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT TITAN and I am…………..NOT SURPRISED SINCE I TOLD EVERYBODY THIS LAST MONTH!!!!!

Oh, yeah…….SCOOPED THE WHOLE CITY……..HOLLA ATCHA BOY!

RAY MCCALLUM, JR = RASHAD PHIILIPS, JOHN LONG, AND TERRY DUEROD ALL WRAPPED UP INTO ONE BALLPLAYER.

I personally can't wait until next year when Calihan Hall is a rocking with Ray Ray fever!!!!
