Another Storm Win!!!!

It was a good Storm game tonight!

Except that there was a local area high school band to play at half time and time outs. They were good but some teachers at their school who sat directly behind Bub and myself were more than annoying and flat out rude.

There were four of them and two of them were extremly arrogant know-it-alls. They had snide comments about nearly everyone around them, for example: The Storm use reserve county deputies for security. It is mainly a volunteer position. Well one of them was standing on the floor directly across from us and the more arrogant of the two asked the lesser arrogant of the two if that police officer would prevent anyone from committing a crime. Then he went on to say he was a disgrace because he was so heavy.

Well be that as it may, it is a volunteer gig. Admission was probably his only pay. He enjoys the games and we see him at most of them. He is a decent guy who sold Bub his Jeep.

Now for the hypocritical part, the teacher who made the remarks had to have been at least 150 lbs. overweight. This made me pay attention to his comments during the game for the rest of the evening. It seemed he had nothing good to say about anyone or anything as he was obviously smarter, funnier, better looking than anyone in the audience and more of a athlete than anyone on the floor.

So that made for a long game listening to those two behind us, well and dodging the frisbees that the cheerleaders were chucking into the audience. Two of them hit a 90 year old man in the row in front of us, one of them smack in the head, the other a ricochette shot off the balcony.

No one in attendence was safe from the cheerleaders. I really mean that.

So anyway there we are, deep into the game trailing by one point! There is less than a minute and a half left! We had the ball and Q White drives around a Long Island defender and gets the bucket! Up by one!

The PA Announcer hits Queen's We Will Rock You in which case a thousand people in unison stand up and stomp their feet and clap their hands....all of them but Bub who is right beside me.

He immediately started off with three stomps and two claps. I elbow him to get him to watch me as I stomp and clap in unison with the other thousand people and in the next two minutes he nearly gets it right. I tell him he has no rhythm and he agrees and takes another swig off of his fourth Bud Light.

All in all it was a great night! Tomorrow should be a better game but it would be hard to top this one!

Dodge City is coming to town, our hated rivals.

They are bringing 7'9 Sun Ming Ming with them....yeah 7'9.
