A tiny, cute blonde student from the Tulane sports information office approached Rock and handed him a small slip of paper as he ate his complimentary pregame meal.
"Have you gotten one of these yet?" she said.
Rock looked up at her and smiled. He thought she was gorgeous. "I don't think so." On the paper was a handwritten surname, Mutusak, which Rock assumed referred to a guard on Arkansas State's basketball team. "What's it for?"
"We always hand out the name of every player, completely at random, to everyone here," she said. "Whoever has the name of the first player to score wins a dollar."
Rock stuck the slip in his pocket and walked into the parking lot to look for his car's steering wheel, which he had noticed missing just as he pulled to a stop a half an hour earlier. He could not find it anywhere, but noticed when he sat in the driver's seat that it was back in place.
