There you would find an aged man scratching feverishly on his note pad and napkins. A man so intense his eyes gazed and dilated even in the dim light, beads of sweat refusing to fall from his brow because of his intense concentration. Your pillage to the top row was a risk of humiliation, his mood was as mysterious as his basketball intellect; however, in hopes to kiss the ring and bask in his knowledge was well worth the risk. But not many have tried, there have been tales of those that have dared and bravely come away forever changed. Ty Webb. 93Bulldog. Ironman92. danicalifornia. Legends, these brave men that have met the great and powerful Pfloyd.
Well...not today. I found Pfloyd sitting at a scorers' table with his three laptops, a scorebook, an iPad, and his smart phone. The man has gone corporate on us. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't sponsored by Apple.
It is always great to see you, my friend. I hope to see at more Vinton County games.
... LMAO !!! that was great "stuff" right there
Hawkeyepierce ! LOL ... I'm still "aged" with a "+" sign now ! ... Cheap Seats are Cheap Seats no matter where the game is being played these days ... what started as a way to keep my own boys' game stats to give to them when they will eventually be bringing grandkids to see me has definitely turned into an ongoing passion to "breakdown" teams, learn the game, appreciate great coaching and acknowledge the youngsters who work so hard before /during and after the game of basketball ...
Hawk it's always a pleasure to see the VC TEAM play - it has been that way since Coach Combs took the head coaching position in McArthur ... throw in the coaches/staff who surround the TEAM, the fans such as
Ty Webb, Dundas & more ... I'm comfortable taking in any Viking game home or away - it's like being at home ... besides I don't shy away from anyone - friend or foe I enjoy being around hoops and the friends I've made courtside ...
