Today was lasagna day
It's the kind of day I like. Somebody else does the cooking and I do the eating.
Friends we have not seen in a while were here and so was Camryn. Just a nice cheesy day!
I was not watching but Julia had the Duke-U Conn game on.
At one point I looked and Duke was creaming U Conn.
I was sitting there, not paying any attention to the game when a "Wow!!!! Unbelievable" went up.
So I watched the replay of the U Conn player hitting a 3 with less then half a second on the clock. Watching the replay was amazing, the crowd reaction, the players' reaction and the disbelief of the Duke team.
I have never played a team sport. (Except in grade school. I played on a church softball team. I was actually named to the all star team as a second baseman. Seems all the other second basemen were on vacation....I was the only one left. But I was an all star!) But I would rather be on a team that lost by 20 points than one that loses by 1 point.
Every player on the Duke team is probably saying, "If only I had......" In a 20 point loss, there is no one defining moment where a single play meant the game.
But 1 point? A missed lay up, lost ball missed free throws, failure to defend.....every mistake will play over and over.
Come to think of it, I was on an intramural team one semester in college. The guys in the house got together and we played to have fun.
We even had our own announcer, as 1 guy in the house did not want to play, so he did play by play on the sideline.
I only remember one game.
We played against an NBA team. They were taller, faster, better than us. At the half it was something like 50-2. We ended up scoring in double digits because I think they just lost interest at one point. Once you hit a100, you kind of get bored.
I did not score, but I did ask the guy I was guarding to stop scoring so much. He just laughed.
At least I know we didn't lose because of 1 mistake.
Peace and Love
Especially Peace
