The Adventures of Alyssa and Ariel

One Saturday, in desperate attempts to get away from the snow (and homework) Alyssa and I decided it would be a good idea to go to the Arkansas Basketball game against Ole Miss.

As we were sitting during the first half, both of us realizing that we don't really know a thing about basketball, something exciting happens in the game. Apparently, it's called a "technical foul" (yes, I looked this up on Google). But it's one of the players has to go and shoot free throws all by themselves with nobody from either team around them. The Arkansas fans were going CrAzY because the technical foul was against us. So, Alyssa and I felt so intimidated as everyone around us was yelling things... turns out the lady behind us was a good enough cheerleader for the entire section so it's all good. But, Alyssa and I silently listened to the people around us chew out the referees and the ole miss players. We decided it would be a good idea to memorize the things that the people around us were screaming and yell them all at once on the count of three.... So that's what we did....

1.... 2.... 3....

-Oh come on...
-What the *$&#... He didn't even touch him!
-Ref's you suck!
-Expletive, Expletive, Expletive!!!

We fit in just fine until we ran out of things to say! But thats okay, because then it was halftime! Turns out this is when the real fun begins :) After we watched people dressed up in mascot uniforms attempt to bounce a ball around up and down the court we began to feel better about our lack of knowledge about the sport. So we laughed along with the rest of the crowd! There was a 3 Guys Dressed up as Taco Bell Sauce Packets (Fire, Hot, and Mild), these poor guys didn't even have face masks to see where the ball was so needless to say they got hit in the face many a time; eventually one of them even fell out of their shoes and the ref had to help him put it back on! How humiliating! The other's were dressed up as a Sonic Cup (Cherry Limeade) with the most ridiculous smile on it's face. This guy just stayed on the side of the court the whole time laughing as all the other mascots ran into each other, tumbling all over the floor.

After the amusing half time show when the game started back up Alyssa and I began to notice that everyone around us had red and white pom's they were waving around!!!! We began to wonder where everyone was getting these. Then, we noticed that a mascot down at the front was now handing them out to little kids. We decided that in order to get one we would need a child. So here are our options: (1) kidnap a child from around us and take them down to get poms... or (2) I suggested that we pretend Alyssa was mentally disabled so we could get some!

Of course after weighing the pros and cons we decided against it.

We began to get bored again and decided to take a picture of ourselves to put on facebook! Well, since we are girls we ended up taking around 10 pictures because we both kept not liking ourselves in the photo that the other one would like. Finally, we got a good one in which we both agreed up and before we knew it the game was over. On the way home we ate at one of the greatest restaurants on the planet... A.K.A. Chik-fil-A and then headed home rockin' out to Glee Tunes!!!!!

Well, that's it for this adventure! See ya next time Folks!
