Arcade Fire Basketball Redux


What do you think? Did the dude from Arcade Fire steal the basketball?

Perhaps. But then, maybe it's even worse than it sounds.

Keep the game running.

Outdoor Wrapup

These guys are bigger than I remember. A Train, Busch, Stat Boy, Osama bin Lisle: they are harder to push around than those little guys in Berkeley. My Berkeley game consisted in posting up, moving out the guy guarding me with a simultaneous elbow hook and ass bump. Easy point-blank shot.

Couldn't do that here. Too much size, too many sweaty, stinky bodies. I had my mid-range game going, though. At least for the first two games. Then the heat started to get to me and guarding the A-Train zapped my energy.

That when the frat boys came on and want to play. It's not as ugly as it could be, but Okie Ben has it out for one of them. Later, he tells us that one of the undergrads is a columnist for the Daily Texan. The kid apparently writes everything with a hard-right, conservative Christian take. The kid does not join in our post-game discussion of Barack Obama's recent appearances with the Tar Heels.
