Oh, Baby, Baby it’s a Wall’s World
It’s hard to get by with Zoller on the bench, girl
Oh, Baby, Baby it’s a Wall’s World
Today like Lefko’s day, gotta get 24 on the boards, girl
Ah...a rainy Sunday afternoon where we are left to ponder if Fox Sports actually pays Tony Siragusa, or if he buys the time? It would actually make sense if Big Tone is paying to appear, since what other reason could there be for the crew to keep throwing it to him...so he can point out the fat players? That he can confirm that the puddles on the field mean it is raining? So that he can assure us he ate dinner last night (which is important, the Wall supposes, since we all thought he was doing the carb thing??)? The Reinforced Concrete bets Leslie Visser is thrilled that she is in the same line of work with this Tom Schneider of broadcasting
Well, it’s Day 12 of “Palestra Held Hostage” as your sturdy Red and Blue roof supporting edifice awaits the end the “Jan experiment” (sounds like a schlocky Keifer Sutherland movie doesn’t it, where an inexplicable Nazi appears halfway through and we pretend that Julia Roberts would give him the time of day)...but props to Coach Dunphy, he obviously spent the summer studying military strategy and is trying to win wars of attrition by throwing in the shock troops (Jan to take the fouls), followed by his crack divisions (Zoller) to finish off the exhausted enemy.....happily we can enjoy watching this work on the basketball court since, unlike when Stalin used it, here there are...well...no guns (which means Fran is a college lifer, since this can’t always be said of the NBA!)....clearly, though, as many posters have said, Jan has a role here, but rather than starting the game your Mason Constructed Structure wishes that Fran would institute a sort of change of pace “Jan package”...The Bricks see it something like a quick spurt where the 4 quickest players are used, and the team goes zone on defense (maybe Ibby, Oz, Free, Zoller and Jan). Then each of the four lesser fans of sour kraut on the floor would overplay on the perimeter whilst Jan could guard the rim – which unlike a man, does not move...a major advantage for the rather unshifty Jan (although can you imagine if he was taught this, and then had to face one of those arcade pop-a-shots where the rim does move...oh, the humanity). This way Jan could get in, give the other team a new look to consider, and not kill the squad on the defensive end.
But as your beloved Wall frets about the lineups…the holiday season was warmed by that decided underwhelming performance that Orange Crud put up in Easton (love that sad face icon that a Princeton poster used on their board in a post about this “exciting game”...do they have one with animated tears for a Tuesday in early February?!?!)...sure they got the 2-point win – against a team that was just off a 17 point loss to St Peters -- but if they want to shoot under 30% for the game they are NOT escaping the Palestra, and that makes the Mortar in the Wall’s heart all warm and fuzzy. And as we wonder if the Red and Blue has enough depth, the enemy got exactly zippo from the bench (0-5 from the floor)...but it isn’t all bad for the Eating Club crew, for even if they struggle at least they still have, um, a really nice arena..........
...and the best thing about Fantasy Football? The Insolated Barrier couldn’t pick Alge Crumpler out of a police lineup, but The Bricks are dying for him to get all the Algae, mildew, mold and whatever else into the endzone ASAP
Ready to rock section 214 in THE BIG ONE against Bucknell, The Wall remains sturdy as it awaits the day we will once again hear booming through College Basketball's most historic gym: “Pennsylvania basket scored by number 24 Bruce Lefkowitz”...............Wall...OUT
