Playoffs? game 2 preview


So I was just watching one of my favorite comedians of all time, Bruce Bruce.  It was his special on Comedy Central Presents, the one where he talks about his cousin buying an Escort, his uncle who laughs without smiling and a whole variety of other hilarious observations.  

At one point, he talked about getting stopped in an airport and getting his bags randomly searched.  The flight attendant looks in his bag and says, "What are you doing with 26 Subway sandwiches?"

Bruce Bruce later replies with, "I thought there was 28, check again," or something to that effect, but it doesn't matter.  Despite the obvious challenge of translating stand-up comedy to written form, I think you can see my point: going into this our first true playoff game, it's accurate to say the Inn Crowd has never really been challenged.

Really, our first three games were like Bruce Bruce against a single Subway sandwich -- the other teams (sandwich) were simply overmatched against the Inn Crowd (Bruce Bruce).

Tonight, that will definitely not be the case.  The Inn Crowd will be facing undoubtedly its greatest challenge of the season.  I don't know the name of the team we're playing, but I do know one of its members, James Nati, pretty well.  The former Dexter star has an impressive all-around game and a formidable crew playing with him.  To make matters worse, he's an Ancient Civilizations and Biblical Studies major, which means God is probably going to be on his side.

Even given that last point, in fact because of that last point, I like this matchup.  The Inn Crowd wants to play against the best, and who's better than God?  No one, that's who.  Except hopefully us.

The game is at 10pm at the IM Building at the corner of Hoover and State TONIGHT.  Bring your friends, family, pets, girlfriends, girlfriends' friends (I'm still searching for my valentine) and watch the Inn Crowd take the next step on its odyssey to Crisler Arena.

  1. I was laughing out loud at this one, Joe. I don't know if you're more powerful than God, but surely you can play basketball better than he can.
