ok…so maybe we started it, but they took it to far:
There’s a line in the movie hoosiers where Gene Hackman, playing coach Norman Dale says something along the lines of, “you expect us to play in this cage you call a gym, your fans and players are like animals!”
well that may be a little over the top, but the parkview baptist fans get a huge C’MON MAN, from me. So first shot of the game, odell airballs a 3 pointer. So the fans starting chanting airball everytime odell got the ball (nothing wrong with this, its not something newman fans wouldn’t do) then we’re up like 4-2, odell steals and dunks it, and just sorta looks at their fans, then its 8-2 and odell is at the line for 2 foul shots (their still chanting airball) Odell sinks the first one, then the second one, and then odell yells back, “SCOREBOARD” now if u play any sport at all, thats almost rule #1, don’t let the opposing teams fans get under your skin, and don’t yell back. Well they see that this annoys odell and they really start to do it. So we’re up by like 6 at halftime,
and then some of their fans get the bright idea to come sit right behind our bench, for the second half and they start to throw candy at will bryant, well kemper tells the ref and the ref responds “good.” so now nobody is on our side. Then who knows what happened, but one of their players puts their hands around odell’s neck, so finally, he gets a double technical, and is out of the game, then a few of their fans decide to start mocking kemper’s every last movement. while still throwing stuff and laughing and gawking at us (my almost last straw, have to hand it to the team for keeping it together, we were up by 15 by this point) so the game ends, we win by 15. I had a few choice words for their fans which I don’t care to repeat. we walk out the door, almost to the bus, and guess whose sitting right behind the bus in their cars, their fans. So they drive by blasting the music yelling who knows what at us. then as they drove away Kyle Mcgoey yells “GIT R DONE” this lightened up the mood a little bit. then we drove home
I guess it was just the immaturity that got to me thats all.
