First off, I would like to thank everyone for coming out in this sudden Georgia heat, huh? I mean, it was real cold just a week ago, but alas, we’re not here for me to talk about the weather. We’re here to talk about the loss.

I think both teams played hard.

No, seriously it was just a pleasure to receive the invite. I mean, I got the email yesterday “demanding” that I find a partner and post our team name on the sheet ASAP. I couldn’t think of a better acronym, so I started searching for a partner. I was lucky enough that K-Love was still available.

Winning an NBA title with LeBron and earning All-Star appearances aside, we worked together when I was back at GSFC before. In the long ago, the before times that we fail to mention because of the memories…

Wait, this is about cornhole, right? Look, it’s as simple as this. It was a set-up from the beginning, but I guess that was just the seedings, putting us against a duo with over 7 years experience and a history with the eventual champs, providing ample motivation to toss the bags better than us.

It meant that I didn’t get to announce to everyone the origins of our team name; the DBA short for Difference Between A Hippo & a Zippo, which in itself is a question.

The question, what is the difference between a Hippo and a Zippo?, comes from a man I met years ago, who took me downstairs into a basement, opened a door and…

But that’s not the question you asked? You didn’t ask a question at all, but since you didn’t the question I asked, the same one I wasn’t able to announce as the winner of the cornhole tournament was one that would have visually described K-Love and I when pictured with the trophies that were awarded to the winners.

One is a large animal. The other is a little lighter.
