A Meeting of the Minds?

Seeing Jim Boeheim and Josh Allen standing next to each other shouldn’t seem so weird to me, but it does. Boeheim’s visit to Bills training camp reminds me of when I was in elementary school and I’d see one of my teachers out in public, in a store or something, and the scrambled contexts would freak me out.

This photo op has me imagining an alternate universe in which Josh Allen played basketball instead of football and went to Syracuse. The thought of an exasperated and peeved Boeheim lecturing Allen on the sideline after one of Josh’s impulsive “hold my beer!” improvisations went sideways on the court brings a smile to my face.

As always: Go Bills and Go Orange!
