The whole sequence with the trash can lid was hilarious. Goldy comes out with some ratty, gold-painted trash can lid that has a hand-drawn sign on it and starts hitting it with what looks like a snare drum stick. The paint was just raining down off the lid, covering the floor. It was obvious from 100 feet away that he was making a mess of the floor. Nevertheless he walks around beating on it all over one end of the court. Then as he's heading off the floor still hitting the lid, the drum stick breaks in his hand.
Then they try to start play and the MSU bench is going nuts, pointing at the floor and holding up towels saying it needs to be cleaned. But nobody does anything and the refs finally just start play back up again. Once they finally stopped play the PA guy calls for "sweepers, we need sweepers." But the "sweepers" that come out are two kids that are literally about 5 years old, who start wandering aimlessly around with those circular floor sweeping things, not knowing what they're supposed to do. The ref took the sweeper from one of the kids and was showered with boos. Finally an actual adult with an actual wide broom was found who cleared the floor.
We were were basically convulsing with laughter about the whole thing. It's one of those really pathetic, low-rent moments that Gopher athletics occasionally provides.
