Q Gets Hitched

A couple months ago, I traveled out to Baltimore, MD for Labor Day weekend. Baltimore might not be the most popular destination for Labor Day, but a big event was going down that I wanted to make sure I was present for: Coach was officially hanging up the whistle.

Everyone's favorite Q, the man himself, went out and did something crazy by getting his ass married. Fortunately for him, he married this super cool girl named Melania who busts his balls, puts him in his place, and laughs at his jokes, all of which are things that Q needs to keep him going in life.

As the first one of my good buddies to walk the plank, it was utterly surreal to see him up there, telling Melania he loves her, putting on a ring, cutting the cake and being the married guy. It was even funnier to see our hoodlum friends up there supporting him wearing tuxedos. Chais and Streb didn't exactly look comfortable, but they made it through.

Of course, no weekend with Q is complete without a few bumps in the road, which has become standard operating procedure. His car broke down on the side of the highway because it overheated. I wouldn't have it any other way. See, that's the thing about Q, it's always a good time, even if you are stranded on the side of the highway in a rainstorm at 8:30 in the morning, you're still having fun.

Here is a classic speech by a classic coach just minutes before he walked down the aisle. He finally hung 'em up.

Hey Q, why not us, why not now?
