Other Sports NAIA Basketball: Real Cheap Fun!

**gblowfish** · 03-21-2014, 06:41 PM

Had a really fun day today with some of my oldest and dearest pals. Each year, we take a blatant "hooky" day to watch basketball. NAIA Basketball, which is the extremely small college National Championship held in KC's Municipal Auditorium each year. We met at Independence's Englewood Cafe for early breakfast, then went downtown and watched three games back to back.

Highlights from today's action: We saw a team wearing black and gold uniforms wearing orange shoes. We saw teams where nobody's shoes matched. We saw a guy wearing tangerine shoes with a white with red and blue trim uniform. We saw obese cheerleaders. We saw Ru Paul. We saw Culver-Stockton fans wearing blue and white Zippy the Pinhead hats. There was a school that had a cheer that went "LETS GO PEE!" We saw a center who weighed close to 300 lbs and had a 2" vertical jump that we nicknamed "Furball." I invited a bear mascot to take his pants off. Yes, it was a good day.

Then we went to Ponak's and drank, a lot.

I love the NAIA Tournament. It always signals the end of winter and start of spring for me. Hope we can do it again next year!
