Collegiate Checkpoint(s)

Portrait/diorama/expression of what makes collegiate contest-windows, and key-memoirs of sports adjective an Earthling 'IQ' of incomplete-thesauruses.

An homage-line to that unforgettable 1992 NCAA men's basketball tournament. Thanks for reading!

I was thinking of a special moment in my emerging/emerged social media culture of sportsmanship/net commentary readings of net-securities for globalism rhetoric and life/activity access-consciousness linked Earthling interest for investors/fans and remembered that forever-magic of the 1992 men's college basketball tournament. The 1992 March Madness 'event' of the 20th-Century saw incredible talents and teams like Nick Van Exel and the Fab-5 of Michigan and a Duke champion-outfit seeking a pronounced repeat-title for national-TV and a Duke-Kentucky theater in Philly that would be hailed as a memory of eternal contest-windows for student-culture IQ (wow). I thought about this deeply and recounted a special moment in Duke's successful repeat-title quest in that iconic '92 NCAA men's tourney (televised!), in which Coach K's awesome Duke Blue Devils squared off against the mighty Indiana Hoosiers of legend-coach Bob Knight who boasted an incredible 'wild-star' athlete of prowess/adaptation (Calbert Cheaney). Wow, I thought about the ghost-magic of that TV-moment in time (Facebook-like!).

Duke was court-marshaled in that '92 TV-moment in American/Earthling time by the inimitable calm-handed field 'general' of sorts, the Blue Devils' legendary smart-guard Bob Hurley who was the best-hope for his team to balance-out the Indiana Hoosiers' hot-and-unpredictable wild man (Calbert Cheaney) in the Final Four semifinal (damn). It was theater worth a card-collector purchase.

Coach K had mentioned that he (honestly!) doubted the Blue Devils would've marched past a very-hot Indiana team, coached by his once-mentor Bob Knight, or surmounted the wild-prowess of unpredictable super athlete Calbert Cheaney were it not for that cold/cool court-general IQ of Duke's legend smart-guard (Bob Hurley). It was the truth, I felt, and any card-collector of sports-adjective metaphysics for superstitions of Earthling contest-windows 'intuitions' would agree (sure).

SORCERESS: I appear to you in a dream-sleep vision, Earth-man.

ME: I'm dreaming, and I know it; but you're some adversarial sorceress for message here.

SORCERESS: I challenge your special Duke-Indiana '92 diorama for superstitions in games, prince.

ME: I do know the game you reference, sorceress; Hurley's temperature-hand cooled Indiana.

SORCERESS: A fair-exchange languages-reading for the mysteries of competition's veils, sure.

ME: Well, I guess it made a Blue-Devil (super fan) of me, sorceress.

SORCERESS: Good...use this 'image' fiction to cast a superstition line about American vanity.

ME: What's it?
SORCERESS: Something about the gates to the depths of complex resonance (Selfie-like).

ME: For the Ego...a dream-sleep message worth its weight in silvery chess (fair).

SORCERESS: Good...don't fail, prince.

STORY_EXCERPT: "The Devils-Hoosiers theater of '92 for social media readings of words and contests was simply leviathan-medicine for uncertainty/doubt...the Earth-prince (Mr. Amlan Satan) thought (deeply-now) why the basketball stage of Earthling network 'culture' made for fortune-readings 'consciousness' of Blue-Planet chips...sure, America was all lines for risk/chess, and Duke-Indiana became some superstition for Mr. Amlan Satan, for citizenry-qualia...his wife insisted he unwind to some folk-friendly half-fiction tale of incomplete-lines readings to the 'darkness' of Earth's (very-special) speed."

That sorceress (if she was real) moved me to that special casting of that iconic '92 media-culture moment on Earth, the Duke-Indiana Final Four semifinal theater (Hurley/Cheaney, etc.) for Western (American Homeland) contest windows of special ghost-magic adjective. I wondered if it was Pulitzer-caliber work (for good class). I wondered if collegiate-cleats and TV-consciousness made our American society some signpost for human race membrane (for doubts).
