In a previous blog many a moon ago, I recanted a moment that no doubt occurred in everyone’s childhood. They played rec league basketball against a kid in a pair of jeans. This is forgivable (barely) seeing as everyone is still figuring out life, and in no way completely grasps social norms. Plus, that kid was always kind of a weirdo who we felt bad for, and who did not
bathe regularly. There was one in every town. However, on a college campus, l beg of you, do not come into a gym and attempt to play ball in khaki shorts and a polo. I will not pass to you. I will not acknowledge you in any way. You could conceivably very soon join the work force, and be a full fledged productive citizen, maybe even in a few years contribute your DNA to the gene pool of the next generation. You should not at this point in your life be baffled as to proper athletic attire.

(2nd time offenders will not be missed) On second thought, no not expulsion, but rather in a Hester Prynne like fashion, be forced sport a “scarlet letter” of sorts around campus for a year. A “P” for polo-wearer, or perhaps a “C” for completely unaware of proper gym rules/guidelines. Either way, something must be done, lest I be mildly annoyed forever.
Why do I continue to actively root for the Wolves? Do I enjoy pain and sorrow that much? After Kahn royally botched this last draft by selecting 3 point guards, and then signing another one (I admittedly liked the Ramon Sessions signing initially, however). Of course Ricky Rubio didn’t want to come over here and fight for minutes on a bad team. I mean who wouldn’t want to be able to drive and kick the formidable frontcourt of Ryan Hollins (career av 3 pts/2 boards) and Nathan Jaw

And to top it all off Kurt Rambis refuses to play Wayne Ellington as though if he did the entire crowd would light themselves on fire. He even went as far to say he might want Ellington to be sent down to D-league to get some minutes, as if it would be completely preposterous for a rookie first rounder to get his feet wet on a 1-14 team whose lone win was against an 0-15 team.
Gahhhh. I apologize, the Wolves are my weakness. I should in no way care about this team anymore, they have betrayed me 1000 times. They are worthless, and pathetic, and I will likely attend a game in person this year. (Next step: Intervention??)
Also, we still owe the Clippers this draft pick: http://www.insidehoops.com/jaric-cassell-trade-081305.shtml Thank god Joe Mauer and Jared Allen exist.
If you’ll excuse me I’ll be in my room creating an altar to Coach K, designing my 2009-2010 NCAA Champions: Duke T-Shirt. (Immense internal debate btwn allowing Zoubek to be apart of the shirt, currently thinking no) Good Day to you!
