Alright, let’s yak about this Ernest Marshall fella and that Bellarmine basketball, you know? I heard some folks talkin’, and it got me thinkin’.
First off, you got this Bellarmine University. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like them city folk places. They got a basketball team, the Knights they call ‘em. Now, I ain’t never seen a real knight, but I reckon they run around and toss that ball pretty good.
- They play other colleges, see? Like this Marshall Thundering Herd. Sounds like a buncha cows runnin’ wild if you ask me!
- And there’s a girl, Gabbie Marshall. She plays for some Iowa team, the Hawkeyes. Heard she’s got a sister Lily and two brothers, Noah and Luke. Big family, good for her. Don’t know if she’s related to this Ernest fella, but the name’s the same, ain’t it? Makes you wonder.
Now, this Ernest Marshall, he’s got somethin’ to do with that Bellarmine team. I ain’t sure what exactly, maybe he coaches ’em, maybe he just hollers real loud from the stands. But folks keep sayin’ his name when they talk about Bellarmine basketball.
They say this Ernest Marshall, maybe he’s got some pull, you know? Like maybe he helps them young fellas play better, or maybe he just brings good luck. I don’t rightly know. But they say Bellarmine played against that Marshall Thundering Herd team. And folks were bettin’ on it, can you believe it? Betting on young fellas throwing a ball! Heard some folks say Marshall was gonna win by a lot, like nine points or somethin’. That’s a lot of points, I reckon.
Anyways, they talk about these games, predicting who’s gonna win. Like them fortune tellers at the county fair, but with basketball. They look at the teams, see how they played before, and then they guess who’s gonna win. They said Bellarmine might score 71 points and Marshall might get 79. Close, but not close enough, I guess.
I also heard somethin’ about Bellarmine playing another team, W Carolina. Folks are bettin’ on that too. Seems like all they do is bet! Can’t a fella just watch the game without puttin’ money on it? I tell you, these youngsters and their gamblin’. Back in my day, we played for the fun of it.
So, you got Ernest Marshall, Bellarmine Knights, Marshall Thundering Herd, and that Gabbie Marshall girl over in Iowa. Lots of Marshalls and lots of basketball. It’s enough to make your head spin! But I reckon it’s somethin’ folks enjoy, so good for them. Me, I’d rather be in my garden, but everyone’s got their own way of wastin’ time, ain’t they?
They even got news stories and archives about this Bellarmine basketball team. Imagine that! Writin’ stories about young men runnin’ around with a ball. Well, I guess it keeps them writers busy. And they put tags on them stories, you know, like little labels. Bellarmine University, they say. Basketball, they say. Just so folks can find ‘em easy, I reckon.
So that’s what I know about this Ernest Marshall and Bellarmine basketball. Not much, maybe, but enough to make a conversation. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got to go check on my chickens.
