Wreck wreport 2

[Mark Padgett]

Three wreck games last night. My partner tossed five players, one in the first game and two each in the last two games. Man, that was cool. All I got out of it was calling one measly T. No fair!

In the third game, team A led by 15 at the half and wound up losing by 17. I guess they just got tired because this was the second of a back-to-back for them.

Also in the third game, after my partner tossed a player, their captain came over to him to complain. My partner said, "I triple dog dare you to say anything about it." It was the funniest line I've heard in quite some time.

Before you draw the wrong conclusion, the guy called all three games really well. The ejections certainly were warranted, as this is not that unusual in this league.

Oh yeah - after a traveling call, a player asked me if I "was kidding". I told him that if I was going to kid about anything, it would be his haircut. He just turned around and left.

Before the second game, I noticed three of the players on one of the teams were wearing gold and blue Michigan shorts. One of them asked me if I knew who the other team was. I told him, "Appalachian State". He stared for a minute then said, "I get it. That's not funny."

You're right that wasn't fair - you were obviously letting your partner do all the work. Did you only get paid for 3 quarters?

Yes it is.

Actually, this league doesn't pay much - sometimes it seems like only 75 cents.

Sounds like a bad beer commercial:

More crap.

Less pay.

Would that be "Marriage Beer"?

Oh no - Juulie's already on the phone to my wife.

Shouldn't they have had Georgia Tech shorts? [hums school fight song wondering if anyone besides me knows the opening line]

Could it be "I'm a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech and a heck of an engineer"? The second line says something about women and "I drink my whiskey clear". My grandmother was originally from Georgia and taught me that when I was just a toddler.

Yup. So you know how it could apply to the league you worked.

Your grandmother taught you as a toddler to drink whiskey?

What about au-natural?

No - only to sing about it. BTW - I forgot to mention this venue is in Beaverton and the teams must provide their own basketballs. Guess what brand of ball was used in all three games? If you guessed anything other than Nike, you're dumber than Billy Packer.
