Xanga Reclamation Project #3

Here it is--the third installment of old Xanga entries. I've decided that today's theme is basketball--I haven't blogged about basketball at all so far this season, because I think I'm burned out on trying to follow teams I can't watch. (We're going to get cable soon, I swear it! I shall have my ESPN!) But it's March Madness time, so I'm going to reminisce about when Aggie basketball was pretty much my reason for living.

Currently Watching Gargoyles - Season Two, Vol. 1 see related Aggie Basketball! Well, tonight's game was not the greatest, as far as the Aggies playing goes. However, the bottom line (as Dave South [whose autograph I have, by the way] pointed out on the postgame radio show) is that we won. And that JoJo scored 35 points. (Holy crap.) But, besides the actual basketball of the basketball game, this one was pretty sweet. First of all, tonight was my 12th stamp. So I got a t-shirt! (Is there anybody who doesn't love free t-shirts?) Secondly, they were giving away coupons for a free cookie at Kroger. Free cookie! No strings attached! But perhaps most importantly, whilst I was getting my 12th Man Reward t-shirt, a guy asked me and Marlis if we wanted to do the free throw contest! So we did! Marlis shot the red ball, I shot the blue one, and some nice freshman girl was green. Let me just point out that I was in the middle, giving me something of an edge, since I didn't have to shoot at an angle. And I totally won! It was a contest involving hand-eye coordination, and I won! I got a letter entitling me to a free large pizza from Domino's (whoop!) and a poster of Billy Gillespie/Gary Blair. Marlis and Freshman got posters, too. And, as another consolation prize, Marlis got to shove me in front of thousands of people after I won. Thanks and gig 'em, Marlis.

Currently Watching South Park - The Complete Seventh Season By South Park see related I Had a Dream Last Night I was at Reed Arena (but on the left side of the student section, not the right--that was weird) and I was watching the A&M-t.u. game. The clock was down around a minute, and the Aggies were down by one. We got the ball, and either Acie Law or Josh Carter took a 3-point shot, but missed it. Then the sips took it down and scored a 3-pointer, and the shot clock was turned off because there were only 22 seconds, and they got the ball somehow, and all that was left to do was watch us lose. And we did, 62-58. Then I woke up, and was really relieved that it was only a dream, and went back to sleep. And then I woke up for reals and thought, "Whoa, that was really detailed. And since when can I do math in my sleep?" The point is, well, there are two points. 1: I am thinking way too much about this game. 2: If the score is actually 62-58, sips, tomorrow, I will be disappointed but also PSYCHIC!
