BlizzardBall

Have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon? Feel like driving in a blizzard to sit in a metal folding chair at a local middle school gym? Then you will enjoy reading about what I did yesterday. A few of my friends play on an adult intramural basketball team. So, at the request of soon-to-be-a-father Dave, I stopped by to check out the action.

Although the opposing team led almost the entire game, it was decently close until midway through the 3rd quarter. Dave and the team pulled to within 3 or 4 late in the 4th but ended up falling 59-54. Clearly, a win that would have been but for the lazy, angry, selfishness of absent teammate "No-show Stro."

Things I was pleased with:
- Moto losing the ball out of bounds after forcing a turnover and spiking it into the ground Corey Schlesinger style.
- Butler playing and making key blocks despite complaining of dizzyness and low blood-sugar - a true team player, unlike Maestro.
- Everybody's foul shooting
- Moto's hustle

Things I was not pleased with:
- Dave & Moto not shooting unless directly under the basket
- Butler fouling out
- "Technical Teddy" not fouling out (or even having an outburst of any kind)
- Dave not wearing his "silver bullet" shorts
