We had a rather unofficial RandBall gathering last night, with the focal point being a chance to meet the one and only Sooze. For those who are convinced she’s only an internet rumor, Dave MN and Roughkat also met her, as did fellow Strib blogger Howard Sinker. A gathering at a certain watering hole roughly at the corner of Hennepin and Franklin — one of our favorite places, and now one of Sooze’s — proved to be a good time for all. We think we got the best end of the deal, though, when everyone else left to go to the game while we were spared that clunker. Joker showed up five minutes after everyone else had already left; when we left him around 7:45, we’re guessing he was already plotting potential breakup lines for a relationship that hadn’t yet started. One final note: We spoke to Lizzy via Sooze’s phone, and she swears she’s coming here sometime in May. Lies, all lies. She was at the NIT Final Four and it was getting kind of loud (seriously), but we think we also heard her say she no longer likes the Patriots or Red Sox and hopes they never win a championship ever again. That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.

Quick thoughts: Not to be rude, but it would be just fantastic if Justin Morneau would get a hit. A home run wouldn’t kill the ballclub, either. … Indiana is rubbing a little Tom Crean on its coaching problem. … No Rasheed, no Billups, no Rip, no problem.

Mystery link! (No fasola. Denied). This was more than a decade ago.
