Provo, Reno and 2-Chip are the development names for dtivo's series 1, series 2 and the r10 platforms

Ah, but the brothers Provo, Reno and their little brother 2-Chip have been moved to the end of the bench on Dave's team. Just like their distant cousin Utv, they don't get to play first-string anymore. It's not something that they have done, it's just that Dave's new family favorite (they call him "Plus") gets all the attention these days. Reno and 2-Chip can even do tricks that Plus can't touch, but Dave won't let them even show anybody in the stands. Some fans have coaxed those two into doing those tricks in the parking lot, but Dave still does not care. To acknowledge those capabilities on the field would make Plus look bad and Dave won't let that happen, no matter what the fans may be missing. They even tried to give Plus some of the tricks Utv has to try to get his fans to warm up to the new guy and some have defected. It's sad to see folks turn their backs on good old Utv just to get a chance to poke the old brothers in the eye. (it wasn't that long ago that Utv was benched to let Provo play and some fans are still understandably bitter about that)

Provo, Reno, 2-Chip and Utv still wear their uniforms and are as good as they ever were, but Plus carries the ball these days. Even though he's dropping it quite a lot lately and even the press has finally picked up on his lack-luster performance, no one really expects the brothers to play anymore.

So there they are.... Reno, Provo, 2-Chip and Utv sitting on the bench together, lots of good plays left in them, but no hope of ever getting to play in the big game anymore.

The boy's new cousin does have a chance to shine and even play in bowl games, but it's a different league. Let's hope he's as good as his kinfolk. We'll all be watching, that's for sure.

But are the boys lonely? Maybe. Forgotten? Never!
