Basketball game, gym -- 1:30 FHT Saturday

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

The other equipment in the gym has been moved out of the way, and it's finally game day. There are t-shirts for the blue and gold gremlins on each bench and a heavy air of expectation in the air.

Mostly, expectation that something will go horribly wrong. But it's expectation anyhow.

[OOC: Cheer or watch the first half here and the second half here. Rules are still here. Game chat is fhballgame.]

Before the game

Team warm-ups and chat here. Coach Bluth may want to rally the troops.

Re: Before the game

GOB - dressed in a nice suit and with his hair oiled back Pat Riley-style - walked up to both teams before the game and smiled a winning smile. "Huddle up, guys, it's speech time."

"This is what you've been practicing for. This is it. The big time. Basketball in front of everyone. Your girlfriends. The cheerleaders. Other people who don't matter as much. This is your time. So go out there, play your little hearts out, do your best, crush the other guys, foul hard, and if you're good enough, maybe... just maybe... you'll go back to your room with both your girlfriend and a cheerleader. Play for that, guys. Go team! Teams. Whatever, just get the hell out there and play some ball!"

"And don't drink anything Pee Cup gives you!"

HALFTIME BENCHES

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Mingle, chat, guzzle gatorade, etc. OCD for the second half will go up when we're at this point.

Re: HALFTIME BENCHES

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

The score was 12-10, Gold Team leading.

GOB walked up to the gold team and smiled. "You're doing good. You're playing well, good hustle, the cheerleaders want you bad. Don't screw it up or you'll look like a bunch of jackasses. Go team!"

GOB moved on to the blue team and shook his head. "You guys... You're playing like crap! What's wrong with you? Focus. Shoot. Win. Pass the ball, ball movement is key. Good hustle, but that's not enough to stop making you look like jackasses. Do better or the cheerleaders will laugh at you. I'll call your mothers and they'll laugh at you. Got that? Go team! Get out of my sight!"

REFEREE

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

There's a referee from Bob's NPC Referee Temp Agency pacing the edges of the court, occasionally blowing on his whistle.

The referree blew the whistle ending halftime and motioned Tyler and Conner up for the tipoff before tossing the ball into the air.

10:00 Mark, 2nd half

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Possession determined by last shot/rebound.

Re: 10:00 Mark, 2nd half

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John takes the ball and tries to look tough and intimidating while dribbling. Of course, it would help if he hadn't worn a pair of yellow shorts to play.

Anyway, he passes to Sawyer who dribbles around and passes back to John.

Seeing Cam open, John tries to toss it to him but Cam starts to move away and the ball is sailing in the air.

5:00 Mark, 2nd Half

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

...and it's down to the wire. GO GREMLINS!

Re: 5:00 Mark, 2nd Half

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John takes the ball out, completely aware of the time ticking away. Seeing Conner making a run for the basket, John lobs it up for him again and crosses his fingers.

Post-game mingling

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

The scent of victory, the agony of defeat, and all that jazz.

Re: Post-game mingling

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB clapped as he walked onto the court after the final whistle. 22-18, Gold won.

"Good going, gold team! Go pick your cheerleaders. Blue team, I want all of your mothers' phone numbers so I can call them, tell them their sons are jackasses, and listen to them laugh at you! Hit the showers, everyone!"

All done!
