A Snowball in Summer

This guy sweats way too much. He's the men's college basketball coach for Marquette - Buzz Williams - and the reason why he's so down-dressed is because he sweats too much. At the start of the the Marquette/Louisville game yesterday where the Louisville Cardinals fought hard and won with a 58-62 victory over the Marquette Golden Eagles, Buzz Williams had a snazzy dark sport coat on. Then he threw it off, perhaps in a fit of rage. While his back was turned at the end of the 2nd half, with a minute or so left in the game, I noticed why he displaced his sport coat - his back was almost entirely covered with dampness; it was a sight I'll never forget! Just imagine a wet stain on your clothes, about the size of Asia...he had that on his back; it was unforeseeable and devastatingly noticeable.

I've come to realize there are some pretty wet-looking people out there, or, at the very least, some people with overactive sweat glands. I had a problem with this back in high school; I don't know if it was the lights in the old gymnasium or what - because that was usually when I'd be the sweatiest, or if it was because I was playing a musical instrument; again, it seemed like I would sweat more in the old gym while playing in a music recital, or just stand sweating it out under those fucking old gym lights. And maybe it was not a conscious thing. Maybe deep down, I would sweat more in the old gym because it was a gymnasium, where most people would go for P.E. class or to work out or have sex... Or, again, maybe it was the lights. They were suspended from the ceiling and looked as though one might fall at any moment. And the heat omitted from them could easily start a fire if the light were enclosed in a small room full of flammable material. Yes, I was a person who should have used clinical-strength deodorant - all over his body - in that old gym. Buzz Williams would've melted in that old gym, and would here-on-out have to coach from a glass his coaching assistants would have to pour him in. The glass would most likely have a tiny sport coat around it, complete with a tie, to look professional.
