SAN FRANCISCO -- Friday we began a little bit of a four-man reunion in The City By The Bay, and it didn't take long for old buddy Troy to work his genius.

Out of Barry, Jason, Troy and I, I'm probably the one most likely to go out and seek some trouble, but it was Troy who sat back and let it come to him, and I'm proud to say our circle of friends will be laughing about this at every subsequent reunion for the rest of our lives.

Once we saw a local television crew enter Pete's Tavern, I knew we had to make something happen. Jason got the videocamera on his phone fired up and downstairs I went in search of televised attention. I found the lovely reporter and told her if she needed some Ohio State sound, our group would be more than happy to accomodate. She said, understandably, that she was looking to interview St. Mary's fans.

Ten minutes later, once the crew came upstairs to where we were, I told her photographer that my friend Troy is the biggest St. Mary's fan one could ever meet. That was a lie, but homeboy bought it hook, line and sinker.

KPIX doesn't have an embeddable video player, so here's a link to the story during which Troy gives two of the best soundbites in the history of television. Please note the change in Troy's motor skills between his first and second appearance.
