Rather, make that 14ERS.

A mobile shoutout to Dudley DeVore.

And then there were two.

Smells like team spirit…make some noise…can you stand up for the last minute of the game?

They don’t play a lot of country music at basketball games, do they?

Let’s have a music showdown between the Stillman and UAHuntsville pep bands, with cheerleader/mascot accompaniment.

Technical foul!

Good, ’cause I was about to eat zebra for a midnight snack.

HEADLINER: No. 3, the Stillman Showboater Tiger, vs. no. 2, the UAHuntsville Energizer Charger.

A hearty cheer for the one-hit Wonderboys -you held up well vs. the home team crowd.

Watching these young people – players, cheerleaders, trainers, students, band – I wonder which ones represent future community leadership.

Get your head in the ga…rebound!

How do you assess focus? Energy management?

Dinner at Pizza Hut tonight, Charlie the Team Member serving and Jimmy the Shift Manager managing, after seeing Jana and Brian’s new Corgi, “Duke,” and Jonathan and Tammy’s pics of new house on a road named after a popular beverage.

When the other team has figured out your signals, you change the way you shout out game plans.

Jeff Mikatarian used to be the Charger mascot.

My trifecta dream? UTK men and UTK Lady Vols with UAHuntsville men pulling the brass ring in the same year. If Walters State, Georgia Tech and ETSU won their championships, I’d swear I was in heaven.

But I am in heaven because I see players realise smart clock management and finding the second/third/fourth wind you didn’t know you had in you proves to yourself your dreams are in your control, with plenty of community/family support where you least expect it.

You win because you share your talent and determination with them, not just because the scoreboard said you defeated your competition.

Just like freedom of speech means defending the rights of people with whom you disagree the most, so that you give each other the opportunity to learn something new.

For instance, time/energy management is technical genius, don’t you know?

I want to learn why the UAHuntsville mascot wears no. 23. My wife wants to learn why the cheerleaders don’t combine cheers with dancing/acrobatics when they run onto the basketball court.

With so many films/television shows centering drama/comedy on basketball, creating a new twist is a tinier niche to find and fill, but I’m working on the masterpiece while watching/cheering on many teams right now.

The slim server at Pizza Hut and the blue-eyed vender at Spragins Hall know what I’m going to find irony in, don’t they?

The rest of the phone-texting world will have to wait.

14,299 days to go. I’m easily diverted, happily so.

Life happens – you reason your own reason on your own, TRIPLEL or otherwise. Charge on!

The moment’s all we have so own it.

Right now, I choose Division II. Is that a Saturn-shaped ball logo? Zeus will have to wait.

Final score after 1 OT: 74-71. Ides of March, be prepared.
