USC Gabe Pruitt was having a great week. He was finishing up his college basketball regular season and was getting ready for the PAC-10 tournement. To top it all off he’d met a great girl, Victoria, who he spent the week chatting with via instant messenger. Boy-howdey things were going Gabe’s way.
So much in fact he gave Victoria his phone number and said they’d hook up when he got back to LA.
So when Gabe suited up to play Cal he was thinking he’d have a pretty good game and afterwards maybe get a little lovin. Things were going great until this 79reethrow shooter came to the line. Normally Gabe is able to block out the taunts coming from the Cal student section; the foam poles, the screams, the waving arms. What he could not ignore was the entire student section alternating between chanting ‘Victoria’ and Gabe’s actual cell phone number.
It turns out Victoria is a member of the Cal RallyCon, a school spirit organization responsible for much of the hype at basketball games.
Gabe made just 3 of 13 free throws that night helping his team lose to Cal 71-60.
Maybe Gabe should keep both heads in the game.
