I'm pissed!

[formerlurker]

Was supposed to be at the game tonight with my brother and nephews but my hour long flight from Cleveland ended up taking 5 hours because of delays. Was able to DVR the game through Frontier's app (really). Turned off my phone, kept my laptop off, didn't move from the boarding area in case I passed a sports bar and didn't listen to the radio on the way home from Laguardia.

Just finished watching and Holy of sh^ts I missed the game of the year! W, T, F ?

Coach Ollie had a great post game interview with Len and Mike Patrick. Best part was the ending.

Mike Patrick as he shakes coaches hand: "Kevin, thanks so much. Great win for you guys, you earned it tonight".

Coach as he shakes back: "Thank you. No problem, thank you, thank you. Ya'll keep keep showin' up now".

Is it me or has Coach lost his California accent over the years?

Just wanted to acknowledge your pissed-ness since no one else did.

You know what this means now. Can't watch another game live for the rest of the season. Our fate is in your hands. Choose wisely.

1. KO spent a lot of time in Dallas growing up. Probably where he got the "ya'll"
2. Californian's (like me) don't have accents...........dude.

Um yeah you do there are a couple and its regional too. I can pick out a native Bay Area accent from an Orange County one in a heartbeat.

bay area accent? 3rd generation bay area resident and never heard of such a thing. Unless someone said, "hella" there would be absolutely no way to tell someone from Northern CA from anyone from , Nevada or any of the other western states. Some socal folks put on that horrible affect like Spicoli and Paris Hilton but I wouldn't call it an accent as it usually disappears when someone matures and stops talking like a .

In my travels I've figured out that no one realizes they have an accent.

That's an interesting article. When I was in the military we had people from many states in my unit. It seemed that the guys from Cleveland "had no accent" or, more like CT.
Later found out that Cleveland was in part settled by people from CT. http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Connecticut_Western_Reserve

Two things: 1) that horrible valley girl accent has spread country wide. Thanks Kardashians, et al. and 2) it's not going away like it might have in the past. Girls are keeping it well into the 40+ range at least.
