Go Gaters

At Thursday's Coconuts vs PA game in Vegas, my wife and I handed out keychains she made with the team logos and a dedication to my mom. She loved Banana Ball and I had plans to take her to a game in Salt Lake City, except that she passed away a few weeks ago. We just wanted her to be there in spirit with us.

We gave keychains to players, fans, and some of the staff, including AJ. I told him the story and he was touched.

Later, during the pre-show party, we noticed that he had clipped the keychain to his belt. He wore it there all night. That meant so much to me.

Another example of how Fans First isn't just an empty slogan.

I’m very slowly wrapping my brain around banana ball scoring. I know each team can only score 1 point per inning and the highlighted square denotes who won the inning (the number is runs) except for the 8th when time ran out and the 9th tiebreakers then the number is points, but after seeing this final scoreboard for the Coconuts vs Party Animals, can someone confirm for me — the runs tally for the Coconuts is wrong, yes? They should only have 9 runs or am I missing something?

Thinking beyond just getting another network or streaming service to pick up Stumble for a second season, what about pitching (no pun intended 😂) a Stumblers/Banana Ball union? The Buttons, and maybe even other METHS Conference squads?, would be a step up from the Man-Nanas and the Banana Ball season falls between semesters at Heådltston and SDSJC, which would leave plenty of time for the cheer team(s) to record their own bts webisodes for the ongoing mockumentary, which had to switch to airing on social media after being dropped by the network in favor of [insert a rotating crop of more and more ridiculous reality shows, each featuring cameos by Krystal 😉].

The show and the league could do some great cross-promotions, and if it works, then it also takes care of the “What happens after they graduate?” question, in the sense that the league cheerleading gig isn’t limited to students, so Steven can still fulfill his cheer dreams even if he finally gets a diploma! For squad members who weren’t doing their own stunts on the show, the heavy emphasis on dancing and entertainment over strictly athletic prowess works in their favor; they could have the possibility of just doing the juco cheer videos, or they could have dance roles in the sideline cheering without having to do stunts or tumbling. And 🍌🥎 players could easily be written into the webisode series as recurring or guest characters…

Does anyone else see the vision? And does anyone have any connections to Jesse Cole & co? I think joining up with the Stumblers might appeal to him because Courteney and Boon’s story is similar to him and his wife, without the injury bit, and Sallie’s story would be a good complement to their work with foster children.

Thoughts?

Very nice

I’m going to tomorrows game (5/02) in College Station at Kyle field. The randomly assigned seats I got are nose bleeds all the way in the “outfield” in section 346 but there’s so much open area, what are they going to do with it all? I’m worried about not being able to see anything because of how far it is, have they played at a stadium this big before?
