6th Man


Grandma loves, loves, LOVES to watch basketball. During one KU game she was secretly video taped yelling at the tv and slamming a water bottle into her coffee table. She gets a major potty mouth and we've heard our grandpa tell her to "clean it up". Some of her rantings are a little nonsensical. For example, during one KU game that Clint watched with her she yelled things like "BLAH BLAH BLAH JUST GET BACK OUT THERE AND PLAY!" as the other team's coach was advising his kids during a timeout. One time at my cousin Mark's basketball game, she got into a fight with the other team's mascot, where she flipped him her pointer finger (she didn't know it was supposed to be the middle finger until a couple of years ago-that is another funny story). A photographer captured the altercation between the two and it was featured in the Wichita newspaper. Oh how I wish I could find that article!

  1. What about her yelling at one of Tom's team mates (Wyatt) when they were in like 6th or 7th grade, calling him a "little shit." Cousin LeighAnne will verify.

  2. Actually, I was the granddaughter sitting next to her at Tommy's basketball game... Wyatt was being a showoff this game and was shot the ball as opposed to passing it to Tommy... She then said "Oh just go ahead and shoot you little shit" I then turned to her and said, "Grandma, he's 12!!!" She then said in her little innocent voice "Oh I didn't think anyone could hear me..."
