Chalupa! Chalupa! The chant that began with almost 2 minutes to go and the Blazers sitting at 98 points and the fans hungry for the 100 points needed to get a free Taco Bell treat. Chalupa! Chalupa! For god's sake, there is only 30 seconds to go and you have missed four tries against the frickin' Sacramento Kings (that may have been inappropriate considering we were part of the BYU alumni / Jimmer fan contingent)! But, come on, we are talking 16,000 chalupas on the line and you guys can't manage a lay-up in trash time? Free! We know most of you are making enough money to buy a Taco Bell restaurant (is there a word that is like restaurant but would describe a drive-thru with a plastic seating?) every quarter, but all of us above the 20th row rarely pass up free food - what do you think attracts us to Las Vegas and cruise ships - it isn't the magic shows..... The ten year olds that topped out at 4'6" in pre-game entertainment competition made these shots. The losers who raced to dress up in throwback short shorts during a TV timeout eventually made a free throw and they were about as well guarded as you guys. Wahoo! the coach sends in an eager bench warmer to send us home with a win and visions of mass manufactured Mexican sounding fare dancing in our lower bowels. Bonus time! we all get a free short stack and 2 for 1 breakfasts at the International Opposite of Portion Control!
I am so glad the NBA season was saved and Jimmer got to come to Portland where the LDS Ensign singers performed beautifully and that spaz of a coach for Sacramento barely played Jimmer and he still was their second highest scorer.
Ugh--I must have come to the game unknowingly, because I'm the last in a four-person line in this house to have something dancing in their lower bowels today. At least the girlies seem bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning!
