The last two nights have been unusual sports nights for me. On Thursday night I saw the Lakers beat the Jazz. What is unusual? I am not crazy about the NBA. I agree with a friend of mine who said “In the NBA they ought to give both teams 100 points and start the fourth quarter.”
The game ended in controversy. Kobe Bryant shot a desperation shot as time ran out and missed. Utah and Utah fans thought they had won the game. The Delta Center erupted in noise. But—and this is a big one—There was a foul called. Kobe made the foul shots and the game went to overtime where the Lakers prevailed. Two days later the Utah papers are crying foul, or rather “what foul?”
Then last night I went to the first college volleyball match I have ever attended. It is the first round of the NCAA playoffs. I learned that volleyball scoring has changed since I was in gym. Some of the other rules have changed too, but since I never knew the rules anyway that didn’t make a difference. The other thing I learned is that there are an awful lot of really tall girls in college these days.
I enjoyed the two nights mainly because of the friends I went with. Thank the Lord for friends, they make the day worthwhile.
