I Love College Basketball
Posted: March 27th, 2006 | Author: Mark Pike | Filed under: Sports |Thoughts while watching excessive amounts of college basketball this weekend:
- Why is the possession arrow not used more in real life? Having a dispute with somebody? “Jump ball!” That last french fry remains with Mark; Lucas gets to sit shotgun; Will gets to pick the movie; Melissa’s turn to buy drinks; amnesty for all illegal immigrants. (And with all jump balls and possession arrows, you’re guaranteed two thumbs way up, and probably some whistles of approval)
- The 20 second timeout should also be utilized more in daily life as well, but not the kind that Zach Morris uses. That simply disrupted the space-time continuum. I should be able to call timeout on the sidewalk and gatorade should appear instantly, and somebody in a suit and an ugly tie should definitely begin scribbling on a dry-erase board immediately.
- I wish I had a play by play broadcaster and a pep band following me around everywhere.
And yes, that’s me with announcers Mike Patrick and Dick Vitale. And no, that’s not my real hair. I was an extra in an ESPN commercial shoot about 6 years ago.
what’s wrong with the zach morris timeout? i use it all the time.
if you did the jump ball/possession arrow for everything, would you have to carry a basketball around with you at all times and draw an impromptu circle and line? You may be on to something. Especially re: those immigrants.
