Grrrrrrrrrrrrrimy!!!
The story about the dirtiness of Xavier forward Jason Love’s beard is almost too good to be true. Steinberg used it to preview the game, but if I’d found out before I filled out my bracket that Love was refusing to shave and calling his beard “The Grimy”, I probably would have picked the Musketeers to win it all. I mean, it’s like “Dirrrrrrrty†but with Simpsons innuendo accidentally throw in.
[quote="The Bog"] When he took the court against Purdue last weekend, Xavier big man Jason Love hadn’t shaved his beard since the Atlantic 10 tournament.
“Ask him, ‘Are you keeping your grimy beard for the whole tournament?’ ” suggested Dante’ Jackson.
“That’s what we call it: The Grimy Beard,” Adrion Graves added.
“That’s how they get down in Philly: The Grimy,” thirded C.J. Anderson, who said The Grimy was meant to emphasize Love’s down-and-dirty basketball style.[/quote]
See, that’s the kind of success story that makes me root for the kind-of little guy like Xavier. Even if Sean Miller is only slightly more concerned about beating UCLA than keeping Eric Gordon from leaving Hoosier-town next year.
Now, as you can see above, Love’s beard was a little more neatly trimmed for the ‘Teers win over the, um, ‘Neers. Maybe he just didn’t want the Grime to get confused with the ever-popular “Pittsnoggle”, which is some sort of combination of porn-stache and chinstrap. ↵
