Obscure College Makes NCAA Playoffs

After ninety-three years of obscurity, proud alumni of little known Play-In-Winner College are thrilled that their basketball team is bringing much-needed exposure to the school. The Fightin’ Obscurians won the Hilltop Basketball League championship last Sunday, beating the Dick York School of Optometry 36 to 18, in a game fans called “a bit more exciting than breakfast”.

Last year, Play-In-Winner College raised almost enough cash to buy matching uniforms, but the players, most of whom hale from college home town Oatmeal, Nebraska, decided to blow the funds on an Air Supply concert in Omaha. 5’ 10” center Marvin Mooch called the show the most important event of his life, but that was before the championship. “I wasn’t sure anything could beat hearing ‘Lost in Love’ in concert. But this is way better!” said Mooch.

Play-In-Winner College has been hampered by its remoteness until the recent NCAA berth. Dean Robert Bradenton stated that applications to the school have increased “to over 19”.
Although few people have heard of Play-In-Winner College, the school has produced many famous alumni, including George Lindsay (Goober from ‘The Andy Griffith Show’), noted blogger and Langfilms CEO Lang Jeffries Jr., and Carl Wentslap who owns a used car dealership in Florida.

Although most experts predict that the Fightin’ Obscurians will be out of the game before tip-off, the player’s excitement can’t be contained. “I’m wearing a diaper, just in case,” admits point guard Milton Shenk.
