BooKSTORE BASKETBALL XXXII Players drink, dunk and wear diapers

By KATIE McVOY Senior Scaff Writer

Drinking and music was the theme of some­ thing other than Saturday night entertainment at Notre Dame. The pastime inspired diapers, halftime refreshments and the crew of Gilligan's Island as the participants of the 32nd annual Bookstore Basketball Tournament shunned the cold temperatures and fired it up on the court. When Fighting Sisco showed up, their compe­ tition certainly seemed to fit the name that was on the schedule. DOA (Drunk on Arrival) lived up to its name. Led by team captain Jim Botz and rounded off by a jester's hat, a full Winnie the Pooh suit and a diaper, DOA seemed to be interested in anything but winning a basketball game. Although their stunning scoring display that consisted of two points when their opponents were up by 18 had Fighting Sisco worried momentarily, DOA just couldn't pull it out in the end as Fighting Sisco took the 21-2 victory. But fans watching the game, who were con­ sistently shouting, "This is alcoholism at its best," seemed to enjoy the match. Despite its slightly distracting nature, the Winnie the Pooh suit was not a planned part of DOA's strategy, but rather the "icing on the cake." However, as part of their halftime strategy, DOA decided to remove not only Mike Fitzgerald's Pooh suit, but also most of their DOA (above) and Gilligan's Island (right) clothing. By the end of the match, Fitzgerald in came out focused more on their team theme his bikinis and his teammate in his diapers - more specifically Depends Overnight - had the than on winning a basketball game. spectators feeling cold. But DOA just considered it part of its team motto. • "You come hard or you don't come at all," PHOTOS BY see BOOKSTORE/page 18 TIM KACMAR
