I have $97,000 for recruitin’, which will allow me ta purchase the Gold Scoutin’ report for my area an’ the Basic National report. We will be fine for money wit'out a doubt.
My team has a bit of talent but not enough ta give one indigestion from overindulgin’.
6/26: An’ now we commence ta begin the recruitin’. We got 4 slots ta fill, perhaps 5 should soicumstances warrant it so.
We decide ta look at 18 perspectives.
7/11: We run a small kid camp, 2 one week sessions, ta look at ouwa playahs an’ hopin’ ta attrac’ a prospec’ or 2. It starts taday. The foist week is at 25% of capa city an’ the second a little less so.
7/25: The only thing I find myself able ta say afta 2 weeks a watchin’ my perspective team is dat mayhap I should oughta play some’a the kids what paid ta come ta dis here camp we was runnin’. I wouldn’t say I got no talent but unless somethin’ davelops it appears dat we will be most fortunate ta defeat the School for da Blind. Oh well, ya gotta staht somewheres as dey say.
“Well if it ain’t my oldest and dearest pal, Nat’an Ohio. Step inta my office, Nat’an. To what do I owe da pleasha a dis visit?”
“Sammy, my old pal, I t’ought I’d come an’ see what dese digs looks like. I gotta say dat dey is most definitely plush, very plush indeed. Yes sir. Youse has landed in da lap a luxury.”
“T’anks, Nat’an. It ain’t so bad, is it?”
“No it ain’t. I was wonderin’, Sammy-”
“I had a feelin’ there was a reason fer dis visit.”
“Be dat as it may, I feel the obligation ta ax youse a question, oldest pal o mine.”
“Go ahead, Nat’an but I hope dis ain’t the end of a beautiful frien’ship.”
“Nuttin’ like dat, Sammy, nuttin’ at all. If youse take offense at my question we will let it lay like it never was axed at all.”
“An’ your question is?”
“Well, Sammy, I fin’ dat I mus’ put this somewhat delicately an’ I am at a bit of a lost for woids… Prehaps I should simply state it an’ let the chips fall where dey may.”
“Dat is usually da best way, Nat’an.”
“Okay, let it be so. Sammy, as you know I make my living as a business man. I run games of chance an’ separate optimists from there bankrolls.”
“Dat has always been da case, Nat’an. An’ so?”
“An’ so one a da commodities which is important to me more than somewhat, is infromation.”
“I can see dat dat would be da case, yes indeed.”
“You might, from time ta time be in a position ta pervide me wit’ some gigantically importent information, Sammy.”
“Nat’an, if you are t’inkin’ that dis information might be related ta da game a round ball you would be most sadly mistaken.”
“Prehaps you misinterpret my meanin’, Sammy.”
“An’ perhaps I do not.”
“No, no, no, no, no, Sammy, I am not even suggestin’ dat youse should do a t’ing dat would violate any a da many rules a da National Collegiate Athaletic Association, not to da slightest extent.”
“Then I do not see how I could be of any assistance to youse in your line a business, Nat’an.”
“Ah, but youse could, youse could for soitain.”
“An’ how might this be, Nat’an.”
“Der is no rule- an’ I have checked upon dis most t’ouroughly, against what I am perposin’, Sammy, which is dat you let me know, foist, yer most honestest feelin’s regardin’ your chances in a given game, an’ secon’, any infromation which may be available to you regardin’ da state of min’ or da slight fisical incapacity a either one or moah a your players, or prehaps even one or moah a da members a de opposition.”
“What you are suggestin’ is impossible, Nat’an an’ it must not even be discusted.”
“I t’ink you may have misunderstood my intentions, Sammy. I recollect to youse dat I never said dat youse should give me infromation of any real substance. I merely wish to know the tiniest little t’ings regardin’-”
“No, Nat’an. Dis discussion is at a end. Youse are tryin’ ta take advantage a my trustin’ nature, an’ my desire to please, but I cannot but refuse under the soicumstances which you state. Ended, finished, closed, Toot feenee, as da frogs say.”
“All right, Sammy, I t’ought it could not hoit ta ax.”
“Do not ax again, my oldest frien’, it would put me in a most discomfortable position.”
An’ wit’ dat Nat’an left my premises, a sadder an’ NOT a wiser man.
8/14: We have got a few recruits what has shown at least a bit of interest in us, 5 ta be percise. Next week we will offer some scholarships, prehaps, well very likely, ta four a dese 5.
