Was I shorted?
I think I was. I don't think it was intentional, but I seem to be missing five games. Maybe they're coming after all the regional/substate playoffs begin.It's Friday, the Gateway to the Weekend. As of this point, I should probably think of planning something to do. It's too cold to go fishing (and not Amy's version of fishing either), there's nothing to hunt, supposed to rain so golf is out. Hmm..maybe I'll just go to some baketball games or something.
So my father and I spent the evening watching a basketball game last night. It was between to colleges in the NAIA, (National Assoc. of Intercollegiate Athletics or something along those lines). They're smaller four year colleges, with populations that probably range about 500-600 students or thereabouts. Anyways, one of the assistants is a buddy from high school. His coach was telling the team that if they threw the ball around too much, that they would end up killing an old person because the fans of the other school are dominated by senior citizens.
During the game the opposition's student section stood and cut off our view into the corner of the court. We jumped up and moved to center court in the midst of all these senior citizens. Good seats, but my god. I've never heard that much whining. Everytime one of the opposition's players moved their feet, they screamed for a traveling call. However, when the home team did anything, not a word was said. Someone needed to show these folks what a travel was. Anytime an opposition player touched the home team player, they called for a foul. Again, the opposition could get mugged more than what happens in a dark alley, and there wasn't a word said.
It just makes me hate ignorant fans who believe that their home team should get away with anything short of second degree murder. I had no alliences, I was just there to watch a good ball game between the opposition whom my buddy was an assistant for and the home team whom I happened to know a couple of players. But the fans consistent whining was annoying.
Oh well.
