Make a different account, or change your name and avatar. It lets you do that.

Where's my assist? I asked that question by proxy! Although you asked it much nicer than I would have. I already knew he was following us on twitter. I wanted to allude to the fact that this was where he was getting his info for stories.

Comment From Bobby Sak
hey Graham - we talked Springsteen a few chats back. Have you read "Born to Run" - Bruce's autobiography yet? For hardcore fans, not a ton of new info, etc - but still fun to read

Graham Couch
I haven't. I need to. I own it. It was quickly given to me as a gift. That needs to happen in short order.

Graham, its been a couple of weeks since I've gone golfing, its currently about 72 and sunny, although a little windy in Florida. How long before MSU fires Izzo for losing games?

Graham Couch
I have a better chance of dunking a basketball - on a 15-foot rim - than Izzo does being fired from MSU for losing. All but a handful of fan bases would kill to trade places.

Comment From Bobby Sak
DWags - sort of a father figure at tSwill (for better or worse), wants to know if you've seen Springsteen live and, if so, how many times?

Graham Couch
I have. Four times. US Cellular in Chicago in 2000 and The Palace three times.

Comment From Herbie
RE: MSU Basketball and making the Tournament

Graham Couch
I believe so. Now, if the Spartans lose Sunday, it's a different conversation. I think they need to win six of their final 10 Big Ten games to be safely in. Can't lose at home to Michigan.

Hey Graham - Bobby Sak again. Seen Brandon Johns at EL play? Thoughts on him?

Graham Couch
I haven't this year. Need to do so. Plan to this week or next.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2017-01-25, 13:33

Comment from Bobby Sak - Hey Graham - I listen to you periodically on Jack Ebling's show. If Jack were to market a fragrance to be sold at Meijer, would it be a scent wafting of fine Peruvian furniture or something more like a bustling Central Park garden on an early summer afternoon?

Graham Couch
This is a good question. I've given this a lot of thought over the last few weeks. I think it would be sort of a Mountain Lodge.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2017-01-25, 13:51

(pimpin' out tSwill during international online discussion regarding Spartan sports - you're welcome)

Comment by Bobby Sak - Hey Graham - ever visit tSwill to discuss Spartan sports and other ancillary interests and activities?

Graham Couch - I haven't. I'll swing over sometime. Or let me know when there's a topic I should chime in on.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2017-01-25, 13:53

Comment by Bobby Sak - Hey Graham - let's say you're stuck on a deserted island with a stereo.. you can only take one vinyl record with you: Darkness on the Edge of Town, Born to Run or The River (we'll forget, for a moment, that The River was a double-album release).

Graham Couch - I'm taking The River - Stolen Car, The River, I Wanna Marry You, etc. I love that album.

Comment by Bobby Sak - I realize that privacy is a paramount relative to health and personal issues, but any word on Suzy? Hoping she's doing okay and taking care of herself

Graham Couch - I haven't heard back from her recently. She doesn't like the attention on this. But certainly I echo your sentiments.

I'll direct him into a Springsteen conversation.. we'll suck him in very nonchalantly.. then he'll gradually turn into a social degenerate like the rest of us.. right before our eyes.

Springsteen will be the background music in the MSU freshman seminar class as students watch the entire 1995-96 Spartan basketball season for perspective.

Bobby Sak - damn skippy, Graham - grew up on a steady diet of vinyl Springsteen, denim and pop-tarts. Late 70's - early 80's.

Hey Graham - I'm kinda busy today but someone else should be on soon to ask some Springsteen-related questions. Thanks!

Graham Couch
Appreciate you finding a fill-in.

by **tGreenWay** 2017-02-01, 13:23

Please ask Couch if he ever feels like he's channeling Joe, as if he's being warmly embraced, spiritually speaking.

managed to squeeze this in:

Bobby Sak
Hey Graham - on your way to Nebraska, be sure to listen to "Nebraska" - did you know that Springsteen wrote the song about Caril Fugate and Charles Starkweather and their killing spree. Since Caril was a minor, she wasn't prosecuted, later moved to Lansing, MI and worked in the medical field. #TrueStory

Graham sounds loosely connected with the story I mentioned above:

cigs aside, the what appears to be the triple-denim look is pretty solid. Been known to rock it from time to time myself.

(in a non-Gay Pride Parade sort of way).
