UConn, it's amazing (Price is Right style)

Usually while flipping through the television channels you expect to see things that qualify as entertaining. Today, however, I found something, (well, not I, but I'll get to that) so utterly entertaining that it had to be mentioned in blog form. As we all know, one of the most amazing shows of all time is "The Price is Right" hosted by the ageless/immortal Bob Barker. Needless to say, I was playing video games at the time of it's airing, but, numerous phone calls (thanks to Ray and Sleepy) I was informed of an amazing feat. Adam Reynolds (think tall kid) from the floor above the infamous KFS floor was on the program. Not only was he on, he got his name called to contestant row, he got off of contestant row and moved onto a normal game, the outcome of this game is unknown, and the actual game is unknown as I only flipped in time to see the final showcase. This means UConn alum, Adam made it to spin the wheel and he was closest to a dollar without going over! He made it to the final showcase. Now Adam, wearing proudly his orange UConn intramural t-shirt was bidding on a showcase. It was called the living room/spa showcase. Needless to say, it had a living room set and a spa (hot tub). Now, you can imagine how shocked I was to see someone from UConn, no less, a friend bidding on a showcase. This caused much UConn excitement, Jon and EJ were flooded with instant messages at work, Aris was informed of his presence on the show when returning from lunch break, and Dave Mont was told and in shock a few hours later. The gravity of this appearance is groundbreaking. Adam is a hero among UConners (or just lucky). As, Nick (Sleepy) said to me on the phone, of all the F'n people to be on this show, Adam F'n Reynolds. Now this sentiment was shared by many. It was more of a surprise that he was actually in California (where the show is taped) than he was on the show. Now you can imagine that a big deal was made of whether or not Adam was victorious in the show, unfortunately, he lost, in a closely battled showcase showdown. He bid $13,785 on his showcase and his opponent, a young woman from Fordam University bid $26,500 on hers. Adams price was revealed first, he missed by just over $2,000, he was looking good on his bid, his spirits were high. Now, onto his opponent. She seemed certain she was going to lose, she thought she over-estimated her bid, she was sure she was over, but, no no no, Bob Barker informed her that her showcase was worth $28,000 and she edged Adam with a closer bid, but just mere hundreds of dollars. Adam seemed heartbroken (as anyone should) and the camera moved to the young girl who danced and jumped with her friends among their newly won showcase. But Adam, I speak for many UConn Huskies when I say, hold your head up high, millions of AARP members watched you on national TV, and that's more than most people can say for themselves.
