Last Friday during halftime (girls varsity -- close game, but not a cleanly played half) I told my partner that we needed to burn something to keep the overtime gods happy.
The visiting team nailed a three at the buzzer to send the game into OT. Naturally I smiled, went to the table, informed them of the timeout and foul considerations and worked a great overtime period.
At least to me, it's always tongue and cheek. But I work baseball -- even a multiple OT basketball game seems short to me.
