They Stack Shit Pretty High in Australia
2007 December 15
There’s a high school in Australia known as the Australian Institute of Sport where all of their Olympic and amateur teams train. There are currently 32 NCAA Division 1 basketball players from Australia and most of them were trained at the AIS. Here are some facts about the best players from the land down under.
- Andrew Ogilvy – Freshman from Vanderbilt. 2nd in scoring in the SEC and runner up on last season’s Biggest Loser
Favorite Men at Work Song: “Down Under“ - Patrick Mills – St. Mary’s Freshman. Best known for his tasteful Steve Irwin Halloween costume with detachable Sting Ray
Favorite Men at Work Song: “Down Under” - Aron Baynes – Junior Center at Washington St. has spent more than his fair share of time buried deep in the Australian Bush.
Favorite Men at Work Song: “Who Can it Be Now“ - Alexs Maric – Nebraska, Sr. Center chose basketball over professional Didgeridoo career.
Favorite Men at Work Song: “Concerto for Digeridoo in G minor“ - Aaron Bruce – Baylor Senior. Doesn’t speak English. Raised by Kangaroos. Terrific athlete with great vertical leap, has tendency to box other players.
Favorite Men at Work Song: None - Ben Dowdell – Freshman at Santa Clara. Tries to downplay his Australian heritage. He will always turn you down if you offer him a shrimp off the barbie.
Favorite Men at Work Song: Who is that? I like Frank Sinatra - Luke Nevill – Jr. Ute. Built Like a Brick Shithouse…Still trying to figure out if that is an insult or a compliment. Colin Hay of Men at Work is his Idol.
Favorite Men at Work Song: “Down Under” - Stephen Weigh – Sophomore Ute. Plays his best ball when drunk on Fosters… Australian for Beer, but American for shit in a blue can. Subsists mostly on Eucalyptus leaves.
