In honor of Valentine’s Day

There is nothing more annoying than Valentine’s Day…except maybe anyone who is associated with the Patriots in any way.

Despite this, I have found a Valentine! Yes, I know, I’m just a tad late for this. But that’s okay.

 

Ashton Gibbs, will you be my Valentine?

 

How do I love thee? Let me count thy ways…

  1. ASHTON GIBBS FOR THE THREE!!
    • Don’t give him room to shoot. Gibbs is shooting 38% from beyond the arc this season. Last season he was at 43%. Not only is he good at throwing up treys, he can throw them up late in games when they are much needed.
  2. Free Throws were never more aptly named
    • If you’re playing Pittsburgh and have to foul, you better make damn sure the jersey number isn’t 12. Because if it is, you’re going to be in worse shape that you started in. Gibbs is 90% from the line (108/120)this season; last season he shot 80%. Not too shabby at all. Earlier this season, Gibbs broke Pittsburgh’s 20-year-old record of consecutive free throws made.
  3. And Ashton Gibbs wins another one for the Pittsburgh Panthers.
    • What a clutch player. As a Pittsburgh fan, it is somewhat calming to see Gibbs get the ball when Pitt is down and their chances are ticking off the clock. He seems to shoot with perfection under two minutes. SWOOSH!!
  4. HE’S A DIAPER DANDY!
    • Gibbs is only a sophomore. Meaning I could potentially have the rest of this season, plus two more years of the Gibbs-Pittsburgh bliss. That present is better than getting chocolate!

Now that I’ve written this Valentine and therefore celebrated this oh-so-loving day, can we move on with our lives? Unless, of course, Ashton Gibbs wants to be my Valentine…then we can turn Valentine’s Day into a monthly thing.
