Hoosier Daddy?

"Hoosiers" was on one of the 10,000 HBO channels this afternoon and I watched some of it in between naps. I had forgotten how the referees were dressed for the championship game. They were wearing long sleeved shirts with striped collars that matched the rest of the shirt, light gray pants with white belts and white gym shoes.

Actually, this outfit made them fairly unobtrusive and they just blended in with the background. Maybe the NF should consider going back to this color scheme?

That's pretty much what we wore when I broke in back in 59-60. The shirts were broadcloth and wore like iron. And you couldn't roll the sleeves up either; the cuffs had to be buttoned. We wore white shoes because it was tough to find a good quality black shoe. Converse came out with the first good ones in the 60's when they started to make the AllStars for the Celtics. What I don't remember is EVER wearing a white belt. Always black.

The equipment available today is so much better, it's not even debatable.

Just to be clear, can you remind us of which two digits precede this date?

Feel free to attempt to commit a physical indignity to your own body. I know that it may actually be physically impossible, but I surely would like to see you attempt it anyway.

Or would you like me to be a little more concise and a lot more explicit?

And when you're done......

Shut up.

I'll assume from your response that the answer is...17
