The Pit Crew

[adman]

I like it!

The nice thing about freethrows is that most players have a "routine" at the line. Many times they will dribble the ball 3-4 times at the line, pause and then shoot. When I was in HS we'd take advantage of this and shout "Bounce, Bounce, Bounce" with each dribble and then "SHOOOOOOOOOOT" during the pause. Worked nicely and sounded great. If the pit crew isn't already doing something like this perhaps it's worth trying. The great thing is you don't have to "organize" it. Once one or two people do it others catch on quickly.

Different strokes for different folks, as they say. sigh

That is appropriately inappropriate!

... its all expected when you're playing on the road.

I wonder if there were a lot of empty seats taunting the Mean Green yesterday.

Old school used to be "Who's he". Somewhere it got simplified.

Ah yes, that takes me back to the Bill Blakely era. In addition to the "who's he?" when the last visiting player was announced we would all yell "Oh, I know him"

That reminds me of my favorite heckling story...

Several years ago we had UTA in the Super Pit. Their starting center, a tall goofy white stiff whose name escapes me, had heard just about enough abuse from us and mouthed a FU to our section. Our response was did he kiss his mother with that mouth etc. A few minutes later he shot us all the finger to which one of our group responded, and I must be careful here, something to the effect of that middle finger and his mother. That was clearly over the line but all I remember was everyone in our section falling out of our chairs laughing.

Good times folks, good times.

I just remembered, the UTA players name was Ralph McPherson.

Anyone remember him?

Whatever happened to the sock puppets...I thought that was pretty unique. Or am I bringing up a touchy subject?

the sock puppets were lost in a move from one apartment to another... Kev may have one or two left but I know the big bag with the majority of them in it were lost when me and strange moved out of the fountains
