Critical Three Game Stretch

Quoner · February 20, 2009

It's a running gag, I know. But now that we're in the homestretch, it is obviously a crucial set of games.

UALR

@ ASU

@ Denver

UALR is the #1 school in conference right now. Then ASU gave us all we could handle in Denton. And Denver...they beat everyone at home. So, can we go 2-1 in this string of games? How about 3-0(thereby going on a 7 game streak!).

We shall see.

Excellent copy and paste.

We are playing well right now, and if the three injured players from last night are only mildly banged up, I could see a nice run for us finishing out the season. We have a lot of depth and if they team is starting to smell blood in the water, they could roll through the tournament. Should we make it to the Big Dance again, what a compliment to Johnny and his staff and players. Time will tell, but I am optomistic ( maybe not as much as KRAM1).

I'm gonna ride this baby till the magics gone.

Recited in deep smokey Al Pacino voice:

I don't know what to say really.

Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives

all comes down to today.

Either we heal as a team

or we are going to crumble.

dribble by dribble

Jumper by Jumper

till we're finished.

We are in hell right now, gentlemen

believe me

and we can stay here and get the shit kicked out of us

or

we can fight our way back into the light.

We can climb out of hell.

One half-court desperation attempt, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.

I'm too old.

I look around and I see these young faces and I think

I mean

I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.

I uh....

I pissed away all my money believe it or not.

I chased off anyone who has ever loved me.

And lately,

I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life things get taken from you.

That's, that's part of life.

But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff.

You find out that life is just a game of backboard shattering slam dunks.

So is basketball

Because in either game life or basketball

the margin for error is so small.

I mean one half step too late or to early

you don't quite make it.

One half second too slow or too fast

and you don't quite swat it in into the stands.

The bounce passes we need are everywhere around us.

They are in ever break of the game

every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that bucket

On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us to pieces for that Monster Jam.

We CLAW with our finger nails for that sweet no-look pass.

Cause we know when we add up all those 3 pointers

that's going to make the f-ing difference between WINNING and LOSING

between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this

in any fight it is the guy who is willing to die

who is going to win that opening tip.

And I know if I am going to have any life anymore

it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that crunk alley-oop

because that is what LIVING is.

The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.

You gotta look at the guy next to you.

Look into his eyes.

Now I think you are going to see a guy who will shoot free throws with you.

You are going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team

because he knows when it comes down to it,

you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen

and either we heal now, as a team,

or we will die as individuals.

That's basketball guys.

That's all it is.

Now, whattaya gonna do?

Excellent copy and paste.

If you won't also praise my find and replace skills, I don't even know why I bother.

It's just like recreating the conditions needed to get back to the island.

Maybe we need a pair of Calvin Watson's shoes.

Jobs are on the line with this one. I don't even think I need to mention which ones.

It's obvious the Super Pit is moving through time AND space. The question is not where the game is, but when. That is why we sometimes get emails that seem like they were sent after the event started.
