Here's another one from the Owen Ivey collection. Mark Crockett loved playing intramural football. He was a good athlete and was the QB for one of the teams. Owen had taken the job as the announcer at the game. At this time in HAC history (early/mid '80s) the announcer would stand on the sidelines with a megaphone and announce the downs, yards to first down, etc.
Mark was having an unusually bad game. Owen was walking the sidelines as well as walking through the bleachers. Mark had a bit of a temper in the heat of a sport's battle. Mark threw an interception and I said to Owen, "I dare you to announce the interception." Owen smiled and shouted through the megaphone. "Crockett throws an interception". Mark looked up in the stands and gave Owen a dirty look.
As fate would have it, Crockett's bad luck was not over. A couple of sets of downs later he threw another interception. Owen looked up at us, put the megaphone to his mouth and said, "Crockett throws another interception". This time Mark yelled at Owen.
Yes, I was praying for a third interception. Yes, it happened! This time Owen was up in the bleachers. He shouted out through his megaphone, "Crockett throws his third interception". Without hesitating, Mark left the field while yelling and headed up into the bleachers after Owen. Owen saw him coming and was able to avoid him .
We laughed so hard we cried. A humorous HAC story for sure!
