Cool experience at the Beavs game this year.
Me and some buddies were standing above the visitor locker room watch players and coaches go in and out for pre-game warm ups. At one point I noticed Whitt talking to this little old lady. I thought that was awesome Whitt to talk to an old Beaver fan.
Well when we decided to go our seats, I saw the little old lady at the top of stairs of the lower level of the new expansion of Reser. Pretty awesome expansion. I decided to have some fun and give her a hard time about “talking trash to our coach”. She loved it. And started praising Whitt a ton. I mean a ton. I complemented the Beavs coach, as I respect what Smith is doing with the program. This ladies friend next to her made the quip, “he must have good jeans”, grinning at the old lady. I immediately asked if she was Smith’s mother. She was. The icing on the cake is that a mission companion of mine played with Smith. She asked his name and she started laughing because a big Samoan that loved joking around. We chatted a bit longer and then went out seats.
That was the highlight of the game for me. Having friendly very light trash talking with Jonathan Smith’s mother.
