Took me 12 seasons to finally make it to a world tourney (Mr E there was a time when you had to qualify to the 32 team world). In all divisions and I did that 3 times before the flood gates opened

Took me 20 years to win a world title even though it was D and 98 teams... still was fun and memorable

Any award I’ve won is in the garage, dump or goodwill

But the memories last forever which is way more than some flea market tshirt or a ring from some arcade juke box made out of tin
