You just can't beat Off Constantly!

A lot of things happened today at Ball Gymnasium, mostly for the better. Off Constantly entered the game ranked 4th in the blue division of the West Side Basketball Association with a record of 3-3. This record kept us teetering on the edge of making or being excluded from the playoffs.

Today Off Constantly played the Wilson 8, or 5 of the 8 anyway, today at 3pm in Ball Gym. With a hard fought effort and a record breaking amount of fans packing the stands, Off Constantly outplayed and out hustled the higher ranked team to improve their chances of competing in the playoffs in the coming weeks.

The crowd, I believe, helped us play to our maximum potential. With 3 of our players families in attendance, including my own, we blew away our old record of 5 people. Our total number of fans today was 15. Yes, that may seem like a very small amount, but our average, or any team’s attendance average for that matter, is somewhere between 0 and 5. All in all, more support I believe equals better game play.

With a final score of 53-38 in the favor or Team OC, our record moved to 4-3 with only one more game left before all-star weekend and the playoffs, things are looking great. Keep reading for updates in the coming months.

No Longer a Blogging Virgin

Day Two of English 104 at Ball State University led me to create this Blog. It is a semester long assignment to help us broadcast our thoughts and ideas to not only the class, but whoever else wishes to take a gander. I have never blogged before, so bear with me... not bare with me, as I have found that means something completely irrelevant.

I narrowed down my list of possible subcultures that I would enjoy learning ore and writing about to 3 choices. Unfortunately in the process, I had to make some cuts, much the same as if I were the coach of a tee-ball team, yea there were tears but like the young children, it also made my list stronger... or that was the intention anyway. I made cuts including, but not limited to, Bikers, Nazis, Nudists, Swingers, Grumpy Elderly Nursing Home Residents, and Alcoholics. I figured most of these were not much fun for the whole family.

In the end, I decided to keep the following; My intramural basketball team "Off Constantly," Band Geeks, and Animal Activists. I quickly cut animal activists... and then there were two. It was down to "Off Constantly" and the Band Geeks. It would have ended in a stalemate if I had not come up with the ingenious idea of flipping a laundry quarter. This is because I had been in band all through high school and I love to play and spectate basketball events. I finally just tossed one of my quarters, twice, and two out of 3 times it landed on heads. This meant that "Off Constantly" would be my subculture choice for current and future writing projects.
