TWO LIVE JEWS:
Coaches Truding and Kolsky made a red-eye drive down from Navy Pier in Chicago to our hotel in Hopkinsville, KY, from 10pm Saturday night to 5am Sunday morning, downing a box of oreos, three bags of peanuts, and 4 diet cokes, and making only one pit stop for gas (both to fill the tank and release toxic fumes from too many nuts, cookies, and soda). Believe it or not, the Tournament's only Jewish coaching tandem picked a petrol station in Christian County, Kentucky at 3:30am. After paying, as we were about to get back in the car, a couple of oversized and undertoothed locals with a fascinating collection of tatoos called out to us, "Are you guys brothers," a major insult to Matt (who refers to Rick as a Jewish grandma'). We smiled and replied in the negative, to which they responded, "Because you have the same nose," yet another swipe at Truding's ego. Recognizing that this could be a thinly veiled outing of our religious heritage and that our new friends most likely had a wide variety of readily available firearms in their vehicle, we smiled sweetly, and decided NOT to respond, "Are you girls sisters, because you're both humongous and go to the same blind tatoo artist?"
