D3 Championship Belt

Just Bill · February 26, 2007, 10:10:47 AM

The Walnut and what, you say? I'm sorry I'm not familiar some other prize. It's the Belt^TM that they all want!

Next Championship Belt^TM match: Hood vs. Hampden-Sydney (at Virginia Wesleyan).

It'll be kind of ironic if VWC ends up taking this thing back in round 2, huh?

(P.S. Ralph, I've trademarked the term "Belt." Anytime anyone else types it they owe me a quarter. Check or cash is fine.)

Fair warning.

Henceforth the "HoF approved" designation for the Bauble-Encrusted League Title-adornment shall be BELT and is not trademarked, so its admirers can avoid paying onerous royalties.

I think the winner of the tourney should have to defend the b*lt throught the summer against all comers around the Nation!

For some reason I really like this title idea

It appears pg04 has found a loophole. Damn.

It looks kosher to me!

THrow another shrimp on the barbie, mate! My favorite Southern-Australian college, Hampden-Sydney

P.Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney?

What about B#!+ ?

My next hope for the D-III Championship Belt^TM is that we can get a pre-game "weigh-in". Both head coaches (and their entourage of assistants) talking smack, a posed picture of the two coaches nose-to-nose and then with fists up. Maybe even occasionally a scripted melee breaks out.

I'm going to need someone to be the Don King of D-III basketball. I'll take nominations now.

Plus, some head-shaving for the losing coach. Championship belts for the winners and shaved heads for the losers go together like Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson of the Rock 'n' Roll Express tag team.

I like it. I like it a lot. But we do have a number of bald coaches in the country (I'm guessing. I've never taken a poll.) What do we do with those guys?

Gregory Sager · February 28, 2007, 06:30:54 AM

Shave their wives' heads. That'll double the incentive to win, above and beyond getting their own heads shaved.

Hell hath no fury like a woman shaved.

Ugh! You have been looking at too many pictures of Britney Spears on the tabloids in the supermarkets!

I was actually thinking of the two Sicilian prostitutes in the WWII novel Catch-22 when I posted it (their heads were shaved by the townspeople because they slept with German soldiers). But Britney Spears is even more in keeping with the general tenor of a D3 Championship Belt than is any literary reference.

So do we have Colonel Cathcart making out the men's brackets?

Yes. If he wins, it's a feather in his cap. If he loses, it's a black eye.
