March Wild and Crazy Madness

Well, my two teams are in the Final Four!

Saturday night, Illinois was down by 15 with 4 minutes left to play. They managed to win in overtime. Illinois is special to our family b/c my dad got his Ph.D. there and my brother was born there. I lived there from infancy until I was 4.

The tension was so thick during the game, that Mom and I decided to leave the house and go shopping. When Illinois won, my dad and brother started jumping up and down. My brother picked up my dad from his waist. This apparently cut off circulation, b/c when my brother put him down, Dad passed out hitting his head very hard on their tile floor! He was gushing blood and looked pretty rough. Although, he is OK now, I feel like I need to teach Dad how to "golf clap". Less chance for injury!

Our Baylor Lady Bears just upset number 1 seeded UNC to go onto the Final Four this weekend! This is the first time in Baylor history. Sophia Young was named player of the tournament, and Baylor is the only one of the 4 teams that has not had the advantage of playing on their home court during the tournament. Bryon asked me if he could try to get tickets for the Final Four Ladies tournament. I told him that after going to three games this weekend in Austin that he was pushing his luck. I can only be so understanding!

GO BEARS! GO ILLINI!
