Critically Canuck

The march toward midnight

Everyone knows what a Cinderella looks like in March: the team that's a cheap mbt sandals little shorter and a little slower hits the last-second shot. Their bench, shorter and slower still, storms the court, bursting with all-downhill-from-here endorphins.


This is what a Cinderella looks like in September: It's an ugly day mbt shoes at the Idle Creek Golf Course outside Terre Haute, a mix of summer's mugginess and fall's cloudy skies. Ray Goddard, the course's profoundly tanned pro, has just erected a small "Indiana State University Welcomes You" banner in front of the clubhouse. Today is the basketball team's annual golf scramble. The course's blue pins make a perfect match for the bright, "Pantone 293" blue in the Sycamores' colors, though that's just a coincidence.


As Goddard steps back to check his work, Lansing pulls up in a golf cart. The cheap mbt boots coach points at two new golf bags in his cart. "What do you think of giving these away for closest to the pin?" he says.
