And the crowd goes wild

Hey folks, if you are just joining us, what a game we are watching here!
It is the BYU intramural women's basketball and the MBA trophy wives are down 21-19. The tall, lanky one in the middle, just brought down a rebound and was fouled so the MBA wives have the ball on the other side of the court with 8 seconds left.
Here they go . . .
They pass into the guard.
She dribbles around the defense with incredible skill and control.
The fans are counting down 3 . . . 2 . . .
She takes a 3 pointer and everyone waits in anticipation . . .
but wait, the buzzer isn't going off . . .
the 3 pointer bounces out . . .
The long, gangly one grabs the rebound and shoots it up again . . .
the buzzers sounds as the ball bounces off the back of the rim, now it bounces off the front of the rim, and the back of the rim again . . .
AND IT GOES THROUGH THE NET!
The crowd (the long, lanky one) goes wild.
She made the game-not-losing-shot at the buzzer!

(and since it was BYU intramurals it really did end in a tie, but that was our first 'not loss')


Dave is amazing and is always key in winning his intramural and church ball games. I, on the other hand, have to relish the one good play I have ever made in my life (the buzzer shot I made last night).

Here is Dave dunking in his younger days . . . JOE-ENJOY!

This video is sweet. Next time I'm in Utah you will have to teach me how to do this.

Wow. I didn't enjoy that at all. Watching it just made me feel sad and old. Thank you, Dave and Jamie. I will now ingest Liquid Plumber and call it a night.
