Last night

Ugh. Bryon and I watched in relative silence last night as Illinois lost to the Tarheels. They could have pulled it out in the end, but their shots, which are normally dead on, just wouldn't go in the basket. Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

I am some what of an anomaly in that I don't like to play sports (why risk messing up my hair?) but I do enjoy watching it on TV. Bryon and I are equally excited at the beginning of football season! Bryon is very proud of me in that aspect. However, he rolls his eyes when the mothering side of me takes over like it did last night!

Those poor Illini players. They worked hard all season, only losing the last game of the regular season. But this year, the Tarheels will be the ones remembered. Poor Augustine's parents. He was the MVP of the Big 10 tournament, but he only played 9 minutes of the game last night before getting fouled out and was scoreless. I know their hearts were aching.

I guess to acheive greatness, you have to risk defeat. Last night Illinois risked it all and lost. Tonight, our Baylor Lady Bears are vying to achieve greatness. I just hope their gamble pays off.
