As most people know, Indiana and basketball go together like Jared Fogle and Bill Cosby. Texas Senator Ted Cruz tried winning over residents of the Hoosier state by recreating a scene from the classic film by the same name (Hoosiers), but failed miserably.
During his speech, Cruz said, "You know, the amazing thing is that basketball ring here in Indiana, it's the same height as it is in New York City and every other place in the country."
That's right, Ted Cruz referred to a basketball hoop as a basketball ring. Going by that line of thinking, the Texas senator once gave his wife a wedding hoop. Given his obvious vast knowledge of sports, expect him to utter the following lines in the future:
- "I love baseball, especially the over-the-wall ball. It's amazing how far those guys can hit those things!"
- "When the Patriots kicker kicked the ball through those giant yellow chopsticks to win the game, that was awesome!"
- "Why don't they have balls in hockey? Why must they play with a small hard sliding frisbee? Makes no sense!"
- "It only took me three shots to get my first hole-in-one."
- "I absolutely love March Madness! When's that start again? October?"
- "Soccer's a lot of fun, especially when you grab the ball with your hands & just start running toward the end thingy."
- "My wife tried teaching me curling one time and I said, 'There's no way I'm doing that to my hair!'"
- "Whenever I do the bowling & someone asks what my scores were, I just tell them my PIN number."
- "I don't care what anyone says, drag racer men should not be allowed in the women's bathrooms! Period!"
- "The only thing I don't like about basketball is the free throw. Automatic points are not right! That's socialism!"
