The window is open, it's a cold night, I'm too lazy to get up and close it so to keep warm I'm typing as fast as I can about nothing in particular and suddenly perhaps from hypothermia I see a basketball game forming on the computer screen!

It's Williams, Ellingson, Jok, Baer, Wagner and Uhl (In Gold)

against

Bohannon, Moss, Jones, Pemsl, Kriener and Cook (In Black)

old guys (lol) verses guys who've played the least as Hawkeyes.

Cook and Wagner lineup for the tip, Baer and Kriener are sitting out at the start. Balls up!

Wow! Wagner controls the tip and Williams brings the ball up the court. Quick flip to Jok coming around a Wagner pick and THREE! Nothing but net.

Bohannon brings it ahead, a quick pass to Jones and just like that we're tied at three.

Williams kills his dribble too soon and Bohannon is on him like a gnat! Nobodies getting open, Williams fires inside but the ball is tipped loose by Cook. Up ahead to Moss who slams the ball for two!

Timeout Gold. Baer comes in for Ellingson. Time in.

Gold has the ball and runs a set play, Williams to Baer, Baer drives, dishes back to Williams who hit Jok and another three goes in!

Cook dunks on a long pass from Bohannon! Caught Uhl napping a bit down the court.

Wagner goes inside, is fouled by Pemsl. Two shots. Ahmad misses the first but the second roles in. Score is 7 to 7.

Steal by Williams on Bohannon! Christian takes it to the bucket and slams it. 9-7 Gold. The shot clock is stuck, refs call a timeout and we go to commercial.

Looks like the teams are about even. We gotta wonder if Bohannon will get a shot off with Williams guarding him. Jok is hitting shots but he's working hard to guard Moss and how long can that hold up. Baer and Jones look like an equal matchup if Baer is hitting shots. And the bigs, it's just hard to say. Cook the best, followed by Wagner and Uhl.

Who knows what's going to happen.............time in, anyone else have some plays?
 
(No way Ellingson starts over Baer)

Ball in, Bohannon dribbles up court and is immediately swarmed by Williams at half court(Bobby: you gotta love this early defensive intensity by the yutes, Gary). Jordan Passes cross court to Jones. Dale, covered by Uhl who seems awake now, quick dribble drive, pumps once at the 3pt shot and passes back to Bohannon. Jordan fakes to Kreiner who is circling around the arc on the baseline, then quickly dribbles across court at the top of the key. Bohannon hesitates, then jukes Williams, pulls up around 3pt line. Finds Kreiner. Boom! Kreiner takes the pass high and destroys the rim.

I miss those lob passes. Looking forward to multiple participants next season. Going back to sleep now.
 
"This team is really coming together...just like your production in the field will come together when you use Pioneer Seeds. The top producer in all hybrids, Pioneer is your best chance to succeed in the field, just like the Hawks succeed on the court. Bobby...what did I just miss?"
 
"Ahmad Wagner just outran everybody, caught a long pass from Williams one handed and slammed the ball with authority!" This is Sharm Scheuerman reminding you that it doesn't get any better than this! And neither does Old Milwaukee Beer!

If I was coaching one of those teams I would run the picket fence!
 
Wow. This reminds me of when I was young and we fought over who got to be Michael Jordan and who got to be Scottie Pippen and if the other team was the Detroit Pistons or the LA Lakers.

Or when Rudy is on the field working with Fortune..."He broke away right here....the 40....the 30..."

Lol. It's great to act like a kid some times. I think those of us who forget to act like kids once in a while are actually the ones who end up on medication for various mental health conditions at some point.
 
Jok just threw a bucket of water at the crowd but it turned out to be confetti!
 
Just remember it's not how fast you mow, It's how well you mow fast. As Iowa mows down another opponent.
