Victoria, not Victorious

At last Saturday's Cal men's hoops season finale versus USC, Bears boosters pulled a prank that straddles the fuzzy gray line between "Crap-Yer-Pants Hilarious" and "Inexcusably Cruel."

When USC guard Gabe Pruitt took his first trip to the free throw line early in the game, the Cal student section hollered in unison: "VIC-TOR-IA, VIC-TOR-IA," and then yelled out a telephone number. Pruitt glanced back at the crowd in horror and bewilderment before clanking his free throws.

It turns out that a couple of mischeivous little bastards from the Cal student section had been IM'ing with Pruitt all week under the identity of "Victoria," a fictional UCLA hottie, and Pruitt was eagerly anticipating a date with this nubile co-ed back in Westwood after the game. In preparation for the date, Pruitt had handed over his digits, which the Cal student section recited back to him in unison.

Pruitt, a 79% free throw shooter this season, missed both shots after the "VIC-TOR-IA" chants began, and hit only three out of 13 shots the whole game. Cal beat USC by 11 for the season sweep, in part due to the Cal fans' devious psy-ops.

Simple, yet terrific.

I once yelled "Kunta Kinte!" while the only black kid on Cape Cod was at the foul line in a basketball game between my town and our arch-rivals.

Wow. I just remembered that. I can't believe I did that. That's horrible.

You're just showing your true colors.

We were all mocking the Barnstable kids from my section; typical HS stuff, but when I said that, the place just went silent. Even kids in our bleachers let out this pained groan after I dropped it.

The kid at the foul line (he was black as coal) had just picked the ball up to shoot and he had to put it back down to dribble and regain his composure.

I have no idea if he made the shot or not, I was too busy staring at my shoes and hoping that no one noticed that I was red as a beet.

I'm really sorry, black person.

I remember in Jr. High School when some jock dick called one of the coolest black kids a "nigger" coming back from recess. He beat the shit out of the asshole and didn't get suspended for it either. I don't think the asshole ever uttered the word again.
