If Sheffield builds it, something something something

So...they announced the regionals for next year, and among the BIG WINNERS is Dayton. To cover -- no, commemorate -- the occasion, the Dayton Daily News spoke with the First Flyer, Kelly Sheffield:

University of Dayton volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield had one of the nation’s top senior prospects on campus this week and took her to UD Arena to help her grasp one of his visions for the program.
"Help her grasp one of his visions"? How complicated are these visions?
“I drew the picture and said...
Ah, so it's one of these deals:


...and said, ‘How would you like to play in front of 13,000 home fans for the opportunity to go to the Final Four? How many times have you had a ball in your hands and laid in bed and thought about it? Well, your dreams can come true,’ ” he said.
And then James Earl Jones said something about easing his pain, there was an argument about whether or not Shoeless Joe Jackson ever played volleyball...the whole thing kinda disintegrated after that.

Kelly Sheffield wants Shoeless Joe Jackson to come back and play ball again. Problem is, if the arena does sell out, Sheffield will probably wander onto the court and yell at the fans, "This is my corn. You people are guests in my corn."
